Apparently Nick Shirley (Jonathan Choe's apprentice? idk) made a video accusing Lam's Seafood Market in Little Saigon of engaging in EBT fraud based on some security camera footage. Now Lam's is having to defend itself and is getting dogpiled by racists. www.instagram.com/p/DeR2ELDPbUy/

I don't think I could possibly make a better endorsement of leftycheatsheet.org than having a political nepo baby crash out at it
In case you missed it, in a (now deleted) comment on @sharethecities.bsky.social insta, I was told to make my own website if I didn’t like theirs. Now that I have finally gotten the attention of the anonymous folks at @leftycheatsheet.bsky.social @sharethecities.bsky.social, I have some questions!

Last Saturday, one block of The Ave belonged to people. Tomorrow is the last day. Oct 17, 11am to 8pm, University Way NE between NE 42nd and 43rd. Free. Games, giant chess, live music, cafe seating, farmers market nearby. Light rail is a block away. theaveforall.org

There are amazing people across this city working hard to make real the vision of a car-free street in the heart of every neighborhood and it's pretty damn cool.
The Ave For All: A Car-Free University Way on 10/10 and 10/17! We believe Seattle deserves a car-free street in the heart of every neighborhood for kids to play and community to gather. Come see for yourself what The Ave could be and bring friends! Follow @udistrict.org for updates

It’s time to undo the damage of the Durkan administration and put the bike lanes on 35th NE. The plans are still ready to go, let’s do it! @mayor.seattle.gov @transportation.seattle.gov
SoundTransit Link at 250% of pre-pandemic ridership is insane
Key to Seattle's ridership success is the explosion in use of its light rail, now >2.5x higher than it was pre-pandemic. San Diego has also brought riders back to light rail. But Denver has less than half the light rail ridership it had back then. www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-...
The AI industry is so disgusting. Any belief I had in OpenAI going about this in good faith went away when I read this letter.
For anyone not following the drama, there's been apparently a big development in ai math, along with some accusations of very bad behavior by OpenAI. But we don't have details yet. If I understand it, Buckmaster and Levent Alpoge made a big discovery on Navier-Stokes. Events go something like this:

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.
This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

Can't say I thought we'd get a second derailment before the CEO of Sound Transit Dow Constantine held a press conference about the first derailment
While turning around to avoid this damage, a Link train derailed in the pocket track just south of Rainier Beach station. The clip below is just audio, but I needed to convert it to a video to upload here.
Daniel Heppner reposted
@seattletimes.com @kuow.org Are you going to demand that the CEO of Sound Transit have a presser on this? Or is your outage only for leaders who are women?
Just want to check I didn't miss anything. Dow Constantine still hasn't held a press conference about the downtown portion of the system being shut down for 14 hours right?

Here's the reality: Rather than dither in the face of critical mistakes made by SPD leadership, she demanded his resignation, got it done without a legal fight, and is moving on to hire a new chief. Most people I talk to agree the chief should be fired and think Wilson got this right.

First up, our OpEd. There’s much more to say, but I wanted to highlight the importance of political courage when it comes to making the choices we know are needed to address affordability and climate change and to redesign our city around people instead of cars. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/this...

How should progressives in Seattle vote without using the Stranger? I just filled out my ballot, and this cheat sheet was how. I know a lot about most races. But where I didn’t, I looked at this site. Where there wasn’t consensus, I went to @theurbanist.org to read their excellent analysis.

GOOD NEWS: Katie Wilson's proposed Seattle Transit Measure renewal will be maintained as a full ten-year, 0.3% measure after amendments to water it down were defeated. The council is still deliberating on other amendments, but those were the big ones on deck today.
The Seattle City Council's select committee on the city's transportation benefit district is kicking off now. This morning Katie Wilson's proposed Seattle Transit Measure renewal is getting amended before going to the voters. We're about to see how significantly.
Telling people they're required to buy tickets using an app to ride transit when both of the main ways people pay for transit are not working is ridiculous. I know in practice they probably won't enforce it but this is such bad optics.
While ORCA readers and Ticket Vending Machines are unavailable, passengers are still required to have valid proof of paid fare. Tickets can be purchased using the TransitGO app. Sound Transit is working to resolve this issue. Updates to follow when available. Last updated: Jul 16, 2026 10:56 AM

I am using an eSIM that has a UK based IP right now for travel and I keep running into things that are blocked. The most significant thing is Imgur! Imgur is just not available in the UK anymore. I hate what the internet is becoming. help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/art...
so what people mean by no special interests in politics is no special interests in politics, not other competing special interests to try to cancel out the bad special interests.
imo the organizing is the democratic election where we elect politicians. We need a government that just operates efficiently instead of always listening to the loudest external community group. It reduces the value of elections if every external group also gets an outsized say in things!

The very first full month of data on Seattle Link's line 1 & 2 connection is in today, and ridership has surged up 49% compared to this time last year, hitting a new record high! Seattle Link moved 4.7M passengers in May, breaking its previous record by nearly 1M

Extremely proud to have played a part in this! I pitched this to Sightline last summer & they graciously gave me a short contract to investigate its viability. They were convinced, and I got to dive in, working with the Center for Land Econ & evangelizing it in WA www.sightline.org/2026/06/03/y...
