I'm definitionally the dying days of Gen X, third quarter 1979, but yeah.

The drunk at 1am national stagger from 9/11 to Iraq invasion to Katrina to 2008 financial crisis is a helluva losing streak.

My political radicalization started with the invasion of Iraq but the moment I started doubting the viability of the "American Experiment" was Katrina

A giant bag of chilies with an Alaska Airlines plane in the background

Last time I went to New Mexico a bag of hatch chilies was my carry on the flight home. Caught both stares and knowing nods.

Olympia truly is a magical place

I haven't lived in Oly full time since 2006 and I still think about nights at the Clipper, the Reef, the Brotherhood, and Le Voyeur like once a week.

As someone noted, this is the headline in the Spanish language version of the story. This level of directness about the situation is absent from English language coverage.

Make of that what you will.

I love what @emmettoconnell.bsky.social is doing with the Olympia Standard. It's a template for citizen journalism in a medium sized city with a dying local paper.

My guy, Seattle ≠ America

If it pleases the court, Exhibit 134,354A: liberals don't actually believe in anything.

If they did, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be drowning in donations right now.

It's kinda mad to me that the Achilles' heel of the American experiment is incels, who women rightfully won't give the time of day, turning their not getting laid into a radical political movement.

If you would have suggested that to me two decades ago, I'd have fallen over laughing.

It's the weirdest and dumbest possible future imaginable

My entire TL at the moment:

1. Sounders fans glowing in the aftermath of yesterday's 7-0 win over CAZ

2. Sober descriptions of the accelerating descent into fascism over events at the CPB and BLS

3. Oddly earnest conversations about making incels swing voters

You're 1000% spot on here. I don't know that dude but he strikes me as someone who's really, really smart and only talks with really smart people and that leads him to conclusions that may or may not be accurate but have no purchase with normal people.

Cruz Azul keeper looking distraught AF after the fifth goal

There's another one to be made with the keepers face after Pedro's first. He's just sitting on the ground looking shook AF.

Better Call Saul

Whole team had that dog in em tonight. Acted like eleven Rothrocks out there.

STATEMENT MADE.

We're so getting this manager fired

I will never ever forget this match. On my death bed, I'll mumble about how hard Pedro shot that ball.
