Wait but wouldn't "they're demons" be a much more theologically orthodox answer than "they're alien spaceships"?

No, “Robert”. Building infill housing is BAD for the environment because it helps HUMANS and all humans (except me and my family) are BAD for the environment. The goal should be to reduce the human population to ZERO (not counting me and my family) to save the orcas. Then we don’t NEED any housing!

Oh my god. This is incredible.

We need to get like 60% of American adults on peptides, at least semaglutide, ASAP.

And that's good.

Wow it's all true.

Ok but that is actually my dad, circa 1978.

Yeah all three women out of the cabinet are horrendous and deserved to be impeached, but only Noem was even in the same ballpark of evil as RFK Jr. and Hegseth.

I can't believe this is how I found out

This is how I got beta blockers.

PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)

the fact that he’s using it for propaganda makes me regret ever painting this

Wow what could "Catholic night" at a pro hockey game entail? Welp, asked and answered.

Truth bomb about pastoralist NIMBY "environmentalists".

Finally, a Sound Transit station naming scheme that gives the proper respect due to the dozens of downtowns and city centers served by Link light rail's 2 lines. I can't shake the feeling they forgot one but... Nah must be my imagination. I think that's all of them.

Funny thing is how this goes for camper trailers too. We tow a 1967 canned ham that comfortably fits my family of 4 to sleep (full futon, drop down dinette, bunk bed) and cook (3-burner gas stove, ice chest, hand pumped sink) with tons of storage: 2000 pounds. New campers: 6-7000 pounds.

Extremely cringe normie complaint post but: seriously who is buying groceries at these prices? This has gotten insane.

American transit agencies often try to insist their passengers are too incompetent or criminal for bog-staneard Proof of Payment / fare validation to work here, but the more likely reason is that their own fare enforcement and equipment setup are not great.

They got my ass. I actually literally said that while playing with my kids at Whale Tail park this afternoon.

The sequel we really need.

Between Hegseth's avowal that US troops would give no quarter (straight up war crime if taken literally) and this bizarre characterization of Powell giving no quarter "in fighting back" against bogus subpoenas, I'm starting to think no one knows what it means.

It also makes Seattle look crowded and overserved with Link lines and stops, when in fact we have (and plan) to have paltry inadequate coverage of Seattle's urban fabric while we overserve a chain of fenced-off golf course corners and parking lots where ~0 people will board after 9am.

he’s got some big shoes to fill

Wow. That's less than one dollar per hour spent riding transit in comfort. (I mapped this because I didn't understand the significance at first, my impression was those are two LA-adjacent cities so they'd be like 20 minutes apart, but no: 3 hours for $1.75).

This is a heart-wrenching, infuriating read. The 911 dispatcher rebuffed this dying old woman repeatedly. He sounds like Ben Stiller's sadistic nurse in Happy Gilmore: "We're not going to play that game", he replied to her mentioning congestive heart failure. She died near her bed within a day.

I guess the DoD read "If anyone builds it, everyone dies" and took it deadly seriously. Ben Thompson basically days the same thing. (And I think that's bad).

Is that... good?

Whoa. WA and Oregon look bleak outside of the Seattle MSA and some hard to distinguish spots in western Oregon.

If Trump has the authority to unilaterally demolish parts of the White House, is there anything to stop him demolishing the entire thing in 2028 if he loses the election? The most likely thing to stop him would be his hope for another coup on 1/6/29.

My transit authority friend told me thieves keep stealing his copper wire so I asked how much copper wire he has and he said he just replaces all the copper wire after each theft so I said it sounds like he's just feeding copper wire to thieves and then he started crying.

Oh my god how did @rivertam.bsky.social manage to break containment and end up getting taken seriously with her obviously sarcastic "Kamala Harris would have invaded Iran too" post?? How do so many of these people exist???

WALL-E (2008) This and THE BOSS BABY (2017) were eerily prescient.

Lmao "these Corolla-sized vermin" are done for!
