Ha, I didn't realize it wasn't allowed in the playoffs. Got tricked by someone's troll post. :D

oh JFC don't let the actual world series be decided by this ghost runner bullshit.

Hey, that's about half the cost per unit of the Yesler/Frank Chopp build. Let's have more of this!

She’s not running.

Trick-or-Streets is a wonderful way to celebrate Halloween and Día de Muertos with your neighbors. Apply today to pedestrianize your block. 🎃

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

That's a lot of debt!

I think this deserves to be underlined: the common conception is that it is nefarious developers corrupting things, when QUITE OFTEN it the people controlling the levers of governmental processes being the active agents of corruption, instigating pay-for-play transactional behavior.

So, is calling it a Cheescake Factory and insult or not? Seems like MAGA can't all get on the same script here.

loooooooloooololoooollolllloll oh my god that hurts

To be fair, after the first bits of the video, he does talk about the golden age of Arabic science, and complains that it's no more. I doubt his diagnosis is correct, and I doubt that it's truly over, it's more that the west hires a huge fraction of the scientists and they move.

OMG the two people on KUOW smugly bitching about how Nate Silver was wrong in 2016. Nate Silver is wrong about a lot of stuff, but things with a 25% likelihood do in fact happen all the time.

Especially as we get closer and closer to the election, this gets more correct. Though I will say I mailed my ballot the day I got it, my wife mailed hers the day after, and they have both been received and counted.

A friend of a friend went to Seattle, thought 80% of the population was homeless folks shooting meth in their eyeballs, and now wants to move there because it’s so amazing.

Holy shit. I did not imagine this story could get worse.

Yay, Smarty Pints!

More science-focused gatherings at local bars and pubs have popped up in the Seattle area in recent years.

Shoot! Thanks for pointing that out. This is the link I should have shared kce.wiki/trackmyballot

This is the context that I was wishing the news reports had had, re the stolen ballots.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Dad, can you reach inside the fence and get that apple for me?

Hey, I know another city that has a mayor who I think would like to make the city's streets safer.

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

Seafor, the pass-through former councilmember Sara Nelson created so that donors supporting centrist candidates can donate to candidates in "private," just reported its first big spend North Seattle council candidate Julie Kang. web6.seattle.gov/ethics/filin...

In line for the self-checkout - of ~20 units, only 10 open. Some dumbass in line starts yelling at a checker to open more, she couldn't, he was SO MAD, and I wanted to yell at him "this is a union shop, there's obviously contract language about how many machines can be open at this time of day."

wait a minute - ESPN's home page is about baseball. What's going on?

Smarty pints speaker knew her audience.

What?

Listen, we're looking for ideas for how to raise more money to do the thing most people want after we spend all the money on the things not nearly as many people want.

I want to see the strategy "schedule ballard first, since it's obviously the largest ROI of any of ST's projects"
