people get hella mad when you suggest adult drivers should be more responsible than children walking/biking.

No AI for kids. Full stop.

a really common opinion i'm seeing from my friends in the software industry is that AI takes away the fun / easy parts of the job, but it's not like your workload goes down as a result, so you spend an increasing fraction of your time doing the shittiest tasks

Holy shit we’re flying like a bat out of hell. #Acceler8

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

I-5 southbound at the Moda Center will be closed for over a month. In my view, this is a test run for when we get rid of I-5 in the inner eastside altogether. That won't happen without generational investment in transit and years of work... but it DEFINITELY won't happen if we don't talk about it.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

youth mobility = adult relaxing I'm in this fight to do less more often.

I live in a condo. Does @warren.senate.gov not think it’s my home?

same function as the veil worn while eating ortalan

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Today I was driving north on 12th Ave in Seattle's Roosevelt neighborhood. It's a one-way street. The car to the right of me completely ignored the red light at 67th St. Not 30 seconds later I had to move over to make room for a car going the wrong way. BuT WHy doN't CyCListS folLOw traFfiC laWS?!?

Bid limits—prohibiting local governments from performing their own work over a certain dollar value—are a form of privatization that increases the cost of government.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

In Minneapolis

Jan. 9, 1776: A 47-page pamphlet is published in Philadelphia that will alter the course of history. “Common Sense” by an anonymous writer calling himself “An Englishman”—Thomas Paine—takes up the once-unthinkable idea of American independence and concludes: “ 'TIS TIME TO PART.” 1/10

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

it's so grotesque that many can't stomach it but they're doing this because they want to kill people for fun everything about oil or drugs or regime change is post hoc rationalization for the fact that they want to push red buttons and kill people

Good morning to everyone, but especially to Mayor Katie Wilson.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

Wishing MAGA "Christians" a very James 2:14-17 right about now

"No Kings" illustrates the uncomfortable truth about US politics: That the > 50% of white US people that want to turn the US into a white ethnostate (their words) is a lot of people. But the > 40% of white US people that don't want this, plus > 50% of brown people and > 90% of Black people, is more.

Talking about whether e-bikes should be governed at 12mph or 15mph or 18mph in a space where cars can go 90mph is a sure sign you've completely lost the plot

the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern

I think you should be able to buy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat in America’s urban parks, and that the refusal to allow this is rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of what urban parks are, and what purpose they serve.

If your cycling infrastructure isn’t good enough for them, it isn’t good enough.

If we’re being honest, the biggest threat to urban livability isn’t density or height. It’s the noise, danger, pollution, and wasted space that comes from prioritizing cars above all other modes of transport.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Illustrating, once again, why the effort to keep Seattle green should be about planting trees and preserving them in PUBLIC spaces, rather than a neighbor-vs.-neighbor battle in the media every time a homeowner wants to build on their own property. komonews.com/news/local/c...

UPDATE: The Shared Streets Bill SB 5595 just arrived on the governor’s desk.

How about it, @atg.wa.gov? These fucking goons are snatching up our neighbors and targeting union organizers. So why don't we fight back?

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

If people won't pay a few dollars to drive on a road, the traffic on that road is a few dollars problem and maybe we shouldn't spend hundreds of millions to solve a few dollars problem.

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

We have three competing elements fighting for finite land in Seattle Housing Trees Parking You can only pick two I would pick Housing and Trees, but a lot of what I heard at City Council was folks who already have nice warm stable Housing pick Trees and Parking for everyone else.

A single platinum Regular Roll is held in the Smithsonian archives, and serves as the official standard of toilet paper measuring.

Just under 20% of Bothell has been paved because we have built it or mandated it, creating the traffic and pollution our residents say they want less of. Our heat island map is basically a parking map. We should do things that work to make our lives better instead of subsidizing our problems.
