We are quite sad but proud of our team for getting so close. Good luck against the Dodgers.

Trident > that gaudy blazer tho

Fair. But we are both Class of '77. Maybe eventually we will make amends at a reunion.

(I still think of the Brewers as the Seattle Pilots, which Milwaukee stole from us in the early 70s, so I hold a grudge.)

Why no Mariners? 😢🔱

Thanks so much!

Today was not the best day as I found out that I am losing my job. I am seeking new opportunities in the Seattle area (or remote). I've worked with tech content, employee communications, SharePoint, and a lot more over the last 20 years and would love for my friends to keep me in mind for new roles.

This the league that I've spent a lot of time on this past year. And it keeps going: Skate Prom this Wed, playoffs in two weeks, and we're already deep in planning next season. Friends who know kids in Seattle who can skate, let me know!

I was at a roller derby tournament this weekend, so I couldn't see Thunderbolts* in the first few days. They're really spoiling the actual title in headlines now. Oh well!

My connection and gratitude to Americorps is completely selfish: Without it, my future wife would never have come to Seattle and met me. I can only hope that if we emerge from the other end of this that something even better will resume its place in our society.

When Team Democracy is back in charge it will be critical to remember what the billionaires did to this country when it was defenseless.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Every American needs to read this. This is our country. This is who we are and this is what we are doing. Next time I see or hear anyone say anything about “well, but we need to keep criminals off the streets…” I’ll be showing them this and asking them what a criminal is.

It's been a not-great Friday. But you know what is a mood lifter? Junior #rollerderby! Come watch our league's latest home bout this Saturday night in White Center with two games vs. Whatcom County's Subdued City Rollers! (My kid isn't skating.) Tickets at southside-revolution.square.site

Why can't you just say "No on cloture"? You keep saying you will vote no on the GOP CR. We don't want you to let that even get a vote! Be specific with your language please.

I understand that you can also fucking bypass the asshole AI answers by adding shit like fucking swear words in your fucking query. Just tested with "how many fucking seasons did the west wing have" and it fucking worked. No shit.

It won't be a good morning if you vote for cloture and you can't convince the holdouts not to as well (including your minority leader).

You are a leader in the Senate. I voted for you in my first election at 18. Lead the caucus and whip up No votes on cloture. I wish you would use specific language as well. Your No won't matter if you allow the bill on the floor.

Let them own the shutdown. They're already acting like it's shut down. It's their fault, they don't have the votes, and you don't have to help unless they roll back everything and restore the power of Congress. They are cutting cancer research, SSA... you have the moral high ground. No deals.

I don't like her, but didn't she vote Nay?

Let's just say that somehow we reverse these federal job cuts. How many temporary HR professionals will they need to take on to untangle the paperwork of regaining benefits, etc.?

I wasn't disconnected this weekend, but I spent it shuttling junior #rollerderby players around Santa Cruz, witnessing their bonds on and off the track. We will overcome the greater challenges. These teens are polite and perceptive, smart and creative, open-hearted and fierce. #derbybluesky

This is all very reactive language, but you're not doing anything of note. You need to shut down everything until things turn around. Everything else is capitulation. You have very few levers left -- and social media posts are not the ones you should be focused on. Thanks - a constituent.

We've had a lot of hyperbolic reactions to political change especially over the last 20+ years and yet every worry I read now sounds so plausible. I guess fascist techbros and oligarchs will party on our corpses as the world burns. Enjoy what we've got while it's left, I guess.

My friend @jaymichaelson.bsky.social shared some key info on the Zuckerbook.

Important. Quoting him. Follow him. Don’t give up. We fight. 1/x 🧵

“Hello! I'm posting in response to the many sincerely anguished claims that not enough is being done to stop Trump. This is not reflected in the facts.

I guess it's nice that they thought you two might commiserate over shared anxieties, but it's too bad they decided the immigrant in the office should be the one bearing that emotional burden. But yes, connection with people is very important in these times.

If you haven't read the Connie Willis book, you must if you like Jerome K Jerome. Willis clearly does.
