“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

Louvre museum robbery: how the thieves broke in, what they stole and what happens next The French culture ministry said eight pieces were stolen – but not the hugely valuable crown of Napoleon III’s wife, Empress Eugenie

Orange construction barrier and empty bus stop pad

It's been twenty-two months since a driver took out the bus stop at the very heavily used Denny and Stewart 8 stop and it still looks like this.

This is Idaho 💙

So frustrating. 🏘️🏠🏡🏘️

Another city council meeting somewhere in WA, another example of why local governments should no longer have the power to decide where housing goes. Edmonds is determined to worsen the affordability and climate crises because a few people hate apartment buildings and the people who live in them.

This is worth reading. Go Wilson!

I hate this timeline.

idk i just have a feeling @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social is going to listen to the voices of transit riders

Intriguing...

Who parks at Seattle Municipal Tower, drives a Porsche, and when the parking attendant saw them coming, they ran out and blocked two lanes of traffic to let the person pull out of the garage onto the I-5 ramp?

Berlin Saturday.
People support Palestine governments support genocide

Was aware of the shingles vaccine prevention of dementia link but flu, tdap and rsv vaccine benefits in dementia prevention are new to me. As Deborah says, get vaccinated.

My dad likes to tell the story of how my uncle was convinced the Rapture was coming. Uncle had joined a Christian cult church and moved with them to Idaho, sent the family multiple letters worried that they’d be left behind. His pastor had named the day, if they weren’t ready they’d burn.

Hey, lots of good people are addicts. RFK is a bad person. It has nothing to do with his heroin use. My mom was a heroin addict and an amazing person. I'm a recovering alcoholic. Stop shitting on addicts. It is not a moral failing, it's a disease. You're part of the problem if you're doing this.

They’ve admitted to what we’ve all known for years, it’s a bullshit generator

A number of countries and even cities within the United States of America have tried this experiment.

Believe it or not, Salt Lake City, Utah did this a few years ago, and yes, it cost less money to house the chronically homeless than it did to provide EMS, police, and hospital services. Way less.

Maybe we're protecting the bushes. They deserve protection more than people walking. 🫠

a full roll of 40 frames all but two images were taken with the zeiss 1.6x microscope front lens attached to the 50mm 1.4 pentax m42 lens with the Spotmatic. adjustments to the exposer were already made before the contact sheet, less informative in that regard but not the full point of this. at least 5 should be rotated but works better looking like this.

Contact sheet is revealing here. Looks like there's a focal setting on the 50mm lens that fills the frame edge to edge.

How is no one stopping this, I ask myself for the 1000th time this year.

👉 SEE YOU IN SEATTLE!! 👈

I missed something here today and I don't regret it. 💨

That's a favorite of mine. ♥️📗

Job Growth Revised Down by Nearly a Million, Updated BLS Data Shows Preliminary annual revisions could add to political pressure on the agency that produces the data.

U.S. employers added nearly 1 million fewer jobs than originally reported for the year through March. It's the latest sign that the labor market may be weaker than it initially appeared.

Imagine thinking @seattlebikeblog.com is "anti-climate action" because they're questioning the choice to allow Rivian to film an ad for an SUV on one of the ten weekends of the year that Lake Washington Boulevard is safe for people walking and biking.

I get groceries all the time. Panniers are great. I also ride in the rain. I see parents with children in cargo seats. Also ebikes, trikes, and recumbent bikes for all abilities. I could keep going...

Hearing from a reader that part of the Bicycle Weekend route (this is the penultimate one of the year) is closed off to people walking and biking for what looks like a Rivian commercial shoot. Real classy, Seattle. We get only a handful of car-free days a year, and you give one to a car company.

Just like anti-vaxers, people who dislike immigrants are a weird terrible fringe group and we should treat them like the weird terrible fringe group they are.
