Pinball, politics, pigeons, public transit, pedestrianism, pedantry. Seattle-based. Fun with a purpose.

you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools

Worse, on the House size, the number is actually the reassessment done after the 1910 census, so we haven’t expanded the House since California (2.37M) had ~200k more people than Alabama (2.1M). New York (9.1M) had 45 reps at the time, compared to California (39.5M) which now has 52.

Gonna watch this new Naked Gun tomorrow with a bunch of friends. I’m cautiously optimistic about the movie at large but I’m particularly psyched to see a broad comedy with a bunch of friends at a theater.

Seeing comedies with a crowd is a life-affirming experience and all too rare these days.

Oh my God. Anas had one of the biggest platforms among journalists in Gaza. He was just killed in a targeted strike on the Al Jazeera tent. Comes after Israel targeted and murdered hundreds of other journalists.

This is intentional and purposeful to erase news coming out of Gaza. No doubt.

I know it's too much to ask for, but please let both the Astros and the Yankees slip out of playoff contention.

I've found a few pairs of Asics that look pretty slick. It's really just Onitsuka methadone, though.

It feels pretty gross to root for the Yankees. I assure you I do so under duress.

@mariners.com you ever gonna post on here? Or just that other place? You’re missing a big swath of the fan base by not making any posts here.

We have concentration camps in America and it still has not truly hit public consciousness or the level of discussion we see around other subjects.

This is how these things become normalized. We simply cannot let ourselves become desensitized, we *have* to keep pushing the discussion.

I swear to god if one more person reassures me that "sure the [consumer-facing AI that everyone is using now and is deteriorating our collective reason and truth] is really bad but the [expensive and narrowly focused AI that is only used in specific applications] is actually pretty good!" ....

I got 11 but then I realized the first names on each paragraph ARE the headliners, so it's really 9. But I used to bat like .800 on these things.

Tonight Trump illegally stripped collective bargaining rights from 400,000 workers without telling the governments lawyers.

Last night when the primary results came in, I was with:

A Kenmore resident,
A recent(ish) transplant who hasn't changed their registration yet (πŸ™„)
Two others whom...I knew don't pay attention to local politics (πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ)
...and a Pomeranian.

My giddiness was dampened by having no one to share them with.

I went to two baseball games this weekend with my dad, and I am very grateful for it.

I was less enthused to see him use and have an app for ChatGPT. I feel like I’m already on the losing battle with consumer-focused generative AI.

I wish I was more optimistic about where we’re headed.
