(i saw the typo before hitting "send". I'm in an anti-normie mood. I hit send just to spite you specifically.)

When a crossword contains an athlete's name is fine, not everything has to be about me all the time and I can just figure out the name by figuring out the other clues but when it contains two intersecting names that's just cruel.

Where's Shane Gillis when you need him?

Ha

Also, studies show that when we improve a space or system for the disabled, the benefits actually spread to everyone. You’re not just helping yourself later; you’re helping yourself right now.

Pure distilled Mercer Island

We put a train on a floating bridge. This region has the juice to do big things.

This is a white supremacist regime. Proximity to whiteness will never save you.

Dems have a quite long laundry list of things they will do immediately if they get one or both houses of Congress www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

“I can hardly bear to break the news to my Aston Martin that I won’t have enough money for it to snowbird at a car condo in Florida because some selfish children want to go to good public schools."

The coolest kids are doing it.

you know you were thinking it

Unhoused folks I know living in RVs have such a hard time finding safe parking sites. We can’t just ban them, we have to create spaces for them. They are also often the ones most ready to transition back into jobs and permanent housing because of the stability provided by having an RV as shelter.

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

beyond not understanding that you retain a benefit — growing equity — that justifies continued taxation, what is happening is that these people don’t understand that their mortgage payment included a property tax payment that went into escrow. that, and simple selfishness, is what’s happening here.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

Got my ballot in the mail yesterday, voted using the @electioncheatsheet.org last night, and dropped my ballot off at the nearest drop box this morning. Voting should be this easy for everyone.

Pulitzer Prize winner Eli Sanders is returning to The Stranger as its new Editor-in-Chief, the paper announced Tuesday.

You think that's it?

I can't believe it's not butter!

"Zombie Summer" is coming to #Seattle this Friday. Only instead of eating brains, this weather pattern is eating rains. (Oh, and bringing high temps into the low-mid 70s...) MORE -> emeraldcityweather.com/zombie-summe... #wawx

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria. 2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae. 3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish. The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists following their curiosity, and this is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

jesus christ i have never heard a democratic talk this bluntly about an opponent

I'm sorry, spider friend. I don't want to break your home but can you not build it right on the walkway between the door and the car?

The ~1mil people a year would disagree.

This fucking asshole.

for reference, in the Dobbs opinion, Alito was like, women generally don't _plan_ to get an abortion, so how could they have a reliance interest in abortion? which is kind of an extension of 'you want health insurance? what, you plan on being sick?'

When IT was coming out of the shower faucet.

I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.

Today, I see angry young men online LARPing as Catholics, often for the aesthetic. They celebrate strength and hate the weak. The use slurs against the disabled and fantasize about enacting Crusader violence against their enemies. I wish the Pope would speak directly on this.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
