Usually a vehicle’s sales numbers dip as the body style gets stale, but the Sienna is 5 years into this generation and posting huge numbers. No other vehicle is a hybrid and has AWD and also once fit my entire long tail cargo bike inside it.

Good dad phrase is “making a dent.” You can make a dent in a house project, a to-do list, a jumbo sized order of potato skins… anything really

STOP GROWING FUCKING LETTUCE IN THE DESERT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY EASY PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Great story, this =>

Basic rules of society that we need to re-establish post Covid: - You actually have to stop for red lights and stop signs. - If you want to watch videos or listen to music in a shared public space, you need to use headphones. - Your pet does not need to go everywhere with you. - Don’t litter.

quick sunday Threads check (sorry. i'm trying to stop)

Thanks CM Lin, this is good stuff.

So grateful to have a Mayor who prioritizes getting PEOPLE around the city efficiently! This will increase the overall people moved through Denny lane, faster, and save countless people a lot of time. It's also an example of treating transit riders as equal citizens. A huge win.

What might have been…

Hey @mayorofseattle.bsky.social this is quite disappointing. I was hoping you'd be a consistent voice for more housing.

"East New York — the first time the city had used a new tool called mandatory inclusionary housing that forced developers of market-rate apartments to include a percentage of affordable units — turned out to be a model for how to use rezoning to create more housing..without spurring gentrification."

Yay for more buses! And, one of the reasons I’m running is to give cities like Seattle more taxing tools, so they don’t have to rely on sales taxes so much. Mayor Wilson is making the absolute best of a tough situation, a situation that would be much better if Olympia hadn’t dropped the ball.

Today reminded me how much ST1 & 2 benefitted from building on existing infrastructure like the downtown tunnel and I-90 ROW. Chilling to think how delayed/expensive they would have been if ST had to do it on its own. seattletransitblog.com/2026/05/28/s...

why are we so bad at cities

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

Real missed opportunity for a headline here

We're so back

basically none of the solar existed before 2020 and none of the batteries existed before 2024. biggest technological revolution of our lifetime:

This is fine! America’s a big country. The problem is that less than 5% of new housing is built for the 44% who want walkability.

We’ve gotten ourselves into a very perverse situation here. Going back to the drawing board in search of a cheaper alignment would severely delay a train to Ballard. But plowing ahead with the current proposal (truncation)… also doesn’t get us a train to Ballard.

@wsdot.wa.gov lotta single drivers using the Montlake HOV exit tonight and blocking buses. What are we doing here?
