My weekly column is up at PubliCola. "Her group’s ephemeral check, which as of last week accounted for two-thirds of NSN’s money “raised” to date, was on NSN’s book—and now it’s not."

Whenever I watch a match on the Tennis Channel I’m energized by the bold white script emblazoned on every court announcing the city where it’s being played instead of the corporate name. Rather than “the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Berlin Tennis Open,” the sole bold word “Berlin” is stamped there.

Dreiser isn’t known for being a particularly good writer. But this attention to the iterative urban landscape makes for great reading.

Billy Strayhorn was Duke Ellington's AI.

Court reserved for weekly match. : (

My weekly Greater Seattle column is up @publicola.bsky.social. Bad moods, Home Listings, and Sweeps.

“But tennis, I feel like you’re alone on the court. And also outside the court." —Maja Chwalinska, World No. 11

Are you guys still talking about this? What happened is basic: Davis came in and lectured. A+ YIMBY politics, but his know-it-all personality crashed his chances. In August I wrote: "I’ll put this as gently as I can: Davis is not a great listener. The SECB wasn’t thrilled with the mansplaining."

Bar owners will tell you it’s Seattle’s progressive minimum wage law. But I’m not so sure. The $21.30 wage has ensured that the lowest income percentiles in Seattle have grown the fastest of all wage earners. Basic math says this should create a virtuous economic cycle of spending...

Just a half block north of Bimbo’s on 10th—more prime Seattle real estate just across Pine St. from Cal Anderson Park—the outdoor restaurant seating at the popular Lost Lake Cafe & Lounge was empty this past Friday, a seemingly lovely fall evening.

I think the word is devolved.

Seattle City Council budget hearing. God I miss the sock puppets. publicola.com/2025/08/27/a...

My weekly Greater Seattle Column is up at PubliCola. "Showing great forbearance, SDOT patiently explained this concept and the change—$1 an hour in the morning to $4 an hour in the evening—to West Seattle residents in the recent report."

One thing that's been missing from my poetry website is my poetry. No longer. Just added 25+ of the poems I've had published in different journals over the last few years. #poetry #yimby

I Think, Therefore I Thing Too Much. 3 Years of Weekly Obsessions.

Jack Palance as the pseudo intellectual, schlock American producer, carries a copy of Mao’s little red book to crib non sequitur aphorims as that era’s version of a tech bro...

We're about to break some bike and scooter share records. My @publicola.bsky.social column has the news.

The 3 things I'm obsessing about THIS week, including that time in 1985 when my smash jangle band played at CBs.

Just you wait. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Lots of people on socials hyping Night of the Living Dead anniversary today. What's cool about 1968 in film is that, from the other end of the $pectrum, Kubrick's 2001 also came out in '68 (April 3). The high- and low-brow standard bearers of sci-fi & horror released the very same year.

All Lost In... the onne thing they're obsessed with.

My weekly "Greater Seattle" column is up. I wish Wilson’s proposal did more for the bars and restaurants and coffeeshops that are already permitted, but increasingly struggling.

Last week, I had Councilmbember Foster saying Inclusionary Zoning > No Inclusionary Zoning. This week a new academic study says the opposite.

This week's obsessions in 6 elegant, run-on sentences.

That's us at Idlewild. @inkandribbon.com

My weekly "Greater Seattle" column (as in Councilmember Foster > Mayor Wilson) is up @publicola.bsky.social. (Thanks for editing while on vacation @ericacbarnett.bsky.social).

It's good news about the press for once. But honestly. Most people don't know what "pool" coverage quite means. Such a navel gazing headline and lead. How about, major networks stop attending daily White House press briefings.

The 3 things I'm obsessing about THIS week.

Why does Trump's every move about the Kennedy Center make NYT headlines, whereas when thousands of people come out to the the Kennedy Center to protest him, it doesn't warrant a story.

My poem "Revolutionary Airport" was shortlisted for the LemonLight Prize from @inkandribbon.com. Here's a reel of me reading it. www.instagram.com/reels/DdeiH4...

Sabalenka wasn't supposed to make the final in the first place. And now everyone's hating on her for losing it in three sets.

I'm All Lost In.. the 3 things I'm obsessing about THIS Week.

Seattle.

My weekly PubliCola column is up.

I updated my column w/ an FYI for the Seattle Times FYI guy: People "living alone" don't live alone. We’re living in multifamily buildings with plenty of other people. It's called density. And it's better for the environment and for lowering rents.

This week's Greater Seattle column is up @publicola.bsky.social

The first performer, Cole Pulice, turned their saxophone into a synthesizer, allowing them to wrap notes around one another in chromatic helixes.

One problem with the grungy vegan bars I gravitate to is that they gleefully welcome dogs.

The 3 Things I'm Obsessing about THIS week. The panoramic intersection at Sutphin-Archer is action-packed with evening anticipation.

Thanks to her good showing against Coco Gauff this week, you might be interested to know I wrote a poem about Zeynep Sönmez earlier this year after she helped a fainting ball kid at the Australian Open. It was published by Half and One this summer. halfandone.com/the-ball-kid...

This week's installment of Greater Seattle. A bummer Katie Wilson analogy, but also progressive Councilmember Foster > Joni Mitchell.

Admittedly, the parking lots they’re supporting are mostly metaphorical, but perfectly, in this story, the parking lot was real.

The 3 things I'm obsessing about THIS week.

I love this headline (and story) because unwitting Boomer and Xer NIMBYs routinely (at least in Seattle) quote the Joni Mitchell refrain as a proud anti-development POV.

Guys. If both Coco & Kostyuk are on, tomorrow's showdown could be the match of 2026.
