Costco shares our values so it's not a vanity bae— it's our duty to patronize.

Hacking robot fighters for voice commands with GenAI and the kid accusing his dad of using AI Slop to fight is surreal. Set in 2027. Real Steel is so based.
ok the quirky music guessing games on heardle is a pretty fun > You got today's Heardle Lyrical within 2 seconds.
There's a scene in Half-Life with pipes leading down the side of a hill from a utility shack that looks like the exit pipes from the hydro plant near Snoqualimie Falls.
Seattle used to hit 80s a few times a summer. Now is time for shorts, hoodie, and rain boots season.
The changing leaves are very pretty! Also you will not be able to do things outside for the next six months. Your limbs will be tightly swaddled in layers of stretchy fabric at all times. You will spend a lot of your time in the dark.
When your kid gets a Tin Can phone:
This 💯 — acting like nothing has changed is absolutely wild enough to call out in everyday conversation. The city used to be covered by gray clouds all winter with a rain so light you could never tell if it was really raining or not. It was not cold— the clouds acted like a blanket over the sound.
I’m gonna be real, thanks to climate change, jokes about Seattle rain just make me sad We’ve been in a drought for a very long time. Mount Rainier is losing its glaciers. The Olympic Mountains don’t have snow. It’s just not funny

would love to hear even a single actual argument about how AI "changes the nature of humanity" not based in fanciful speculation
If you never had to use this route to get home you don't understand how the 8 route was broken for decades across multiple mayors. Mayor Wilson is the first to stop making excuses and just fix it.
If you've been paying attention to the news recently, you may be wondering: what's going on in City Hall? What you might not have heard is that we are doing the work and getting real results for Seattle residents.
Bike-train nerd equivalent of an astronomic blood moon here
The Oak Creek Trail was the first real gravel so far (as opposed to crushed stone), but in good shape, and connected to the Drexel Bike Path which was paved and nice. In Oak Creek I found a good spot for trainspotting and waved at my son’s Empire Builder train from Chicago back home to Seattle.
There is no excuse for bounty hunters firing weapons near a park full of kids in Seattle.
Excuse me Seattle but Hollow Earth Radio is jamming today. @khuh.bsky.social
Map of fatalities from the Mount St. Helen's eruption.
lima-vm, except with sane defaults that refrain from sharing your entire home directory with rando agents would be spectacular
