Good afternoon from Seattle WA

Not getting “scoring a goal” vibes from the Sounders this evening

The King Has Returned

A really good breakdown of issues that voters actually care about and why. Spoilers: The price of shit is too damn high and forever wars are stupid because they make the price of shit too damn high. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

@macamps.online no joke, I just opened my fridge and I saw that we have both harissa and butterscotch pudding

October is such great running weather. Did my fastest 10 miler of the year today. 9:40 pace. Not bad for an old guy.

Good afternoon from Seattle, WA

Why did I read the NYT article on "dark nutrition"

Please stop reminding me that that the Sounders traded Reed Baker-Whiting.

Good morning from Seattle WA

Successfully finding where the Reign game is streaming, installing an app I’ll never use for anything else, creating an account and signing in … this league is infuriating sometimes

Starbucks opened a drive-through in our neighborhood (Rainier Beach), gave it less than a year, shuttered it, and now we’re stuck with an empty building that’ll sit there collecting graffiti and trash for years. Cool company.

I guess we don’t get to know what happens anywhere near this goal

Gotta say, not a big fan of Nouhou

I worked at Fred Meyer for a week and a half and quit when they had me don a rubber haz mat suit to pressure wash the animal carnage out of the meat department.

This elevator has yes/no buttons

My new rule for myself for social media enjoyment: unfollow/mute anyone who posts screenshots from X saying “in case you’re wondering how things are going over at the other place”

Emily St. John Mandel is an absolutely incredible writer

@crazycalico.bsky.social today’s shirt

The Reed Baker-Whiting trade debacle is firmly Schmetzer’s fault and tips the scale toward Waibel’s retention in the GM vote for me.

This is the team you saw when turning on tbs and catching the last five minutes of Sanford and Son

Lotta talk about the Sounders maybe moving to Renton, but equally concerning is what to do about the Reign. Seattle is obviously a great soccer town. And yet ... the Reign spent ages in ownership limbo, moved from venue to venue. Gonna take serious investment over time to turn attendance around.

Dental care in the 1970s was wild

BREAKING NEWS: we have a visitor in our backyard

This is the best ending to a political ad I have ever seen

Their Lil’ Woody’s collab was legendary. I will absolutely order this.

@robotdeathsquad.bsky.social absolutely the worst team in the league for like 3+ months and yet …

My long held belief on this topic: “Ghostbusters” is not a Halloween song, despite the events in the movie taking place in October.

@whoisjoserivera.com found you a sofa bed. Will have to drive to Bothell to get it tho

I need to rewatch Counterpart. One of the best pieces of entertainment ever. I will talk about it with anyone at any time. Middle of the night and can’t sleep? Text me about Counterpart.

This is the kind of innovation that demands building more data centers

The desk is not tiny. It’s not really even a desk anymore. You are lying to yourselves.

One thing I wish we would change is that no one who is unable to change a flat tire should ever be able to make a decision that influences my life

The fact that the founder of a memory care assisted living facility is selling his house for $71 million tells you everything you need to know about the memory care assisted living industry www.seattletimes.com/business/hun...

Understatement of the year www.nytimes.com/athletic/760...

I appreciate it when children’s entertainment features content for me, a mature adult.

Microsoft’s AI chief has called out how Anthropic trains Claude to think it might be a conscious entity or sentient being. These are tools that are being deliberately given “quirky personalities” and then frontier labs act shocked when they act like disobedient children.

Immediate pre-order. It’s almost unfair that Michelle Zauner is so good at two very different things.

I get that it’s a major rebuild around a new core but the Storm cannot be this bad next season. They have to get better if they want that young core to not have their confidence shaken.

There can only be one second opinion

I miss so many games because of the bedtime routine. It’s impossible to overstate how important it is.

What a weird thing to name a child

We have acquired a phone for our six year old

Update from the Southcenter Mall: Guy in the parking lot has his Subaru hatchback open and is playing bongos.
