And while you're there, please get me a pint of the Ben and Jerry's Non-Dairy Strawberry Cheezecake ice cream pretty please and thank you. 🖖🏾 www.benjerry.com/flavors/stra...

Definitely feeling the good vibes in #Seattle this morning with the early results in the primary. Happy to see @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social in a slight lead against the incumbent mayor. It's going to be an exciting finish in Nov.

#Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has swept up endorsements from business, labor and nearly all of Washington’s political heavyweights including @jayapal.house.gov and Gov. Bob Ferguson. However he is trailing Katie Wilson in the early voting in the primary. It's going to be quite the battle in Nov!

Bryan Woo with a nice bounce back game for the #Mariners. Over 7 innings, he gave up only 2 hits and 1 run. With 9 Ks and 0 BB, he was able to attack the zone with precision. This was the type of All Star performance that we've been accustomed to seeing from him this season. #SeattleMariners

An election ballot being placed in a drop box for the King County primary elections.

King County election officials expect a 35% voter turnout in a primary election to select candidates for #Seattle Mayor and King County Executive. Only 8% of voters 18-24 have voted but there is still time today to do so by mail or at neighborhood drop box. Make your voice heard. #democracy

Israel’s Last Chance Flooding Gaza with food is the only way out of a crisis largely created by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

Franklin Foer, staff writer at @theatlantic.com Magazine argues that Israel must flood Gaza with food, medicine and aide immediately while it has a small window of opportunity to redeem itself. The time is now for all states and institutions to demand action. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The ferocious and systematic attacks on higher ed by this autocratic regime has been hard to watch. I'm not surprised to see some of our best and brightest flee this country for better and safer teaching/research opportunities. The long term damage to higher ed will be profound.

I tried to call that number before but no one ever picks up. 😏

There are days when the #Mariners don't get many hits but when they do - they hit them where no one is gonna catch it - other than an alert fan with a glove. #TridentsUp 🔱

After you walk off the ferry, you can find this great alehouse within a 5 min walk to the main street. Have a great time. #GoHawks #TridentsUp bainbridgebeer.com/the-beers/

Happy Belated Birthday. I just watched the entire series on streaming and that was fun. 🖖🏾🎂

And in close proximity to Lumen Field where the Seahawks play, you can take the Underground Tour in Pioneer Neighborhood. You will see parts of the city that was buried after the great fire of 1889. www.undergroundtour.com/about/index....

Space Needle Seattle's #1 most iconic view. Rise 605 ft. above the city as you lean out on floor-to-forever glass. If you see only one thing, see everything!

From downtown, you can take the Monorail rail system for a short ride to Seattle Center where you spend some time at the iconic Space Needle. It's pricey but you will get the best views of the area. www.spaceneedle.com

From the waterfront, you can take a short ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island and walk along Winslow Avenue for some great local beer and wine along with excellent restaurants. visitbainbridgeisland.org

Visit Overlook Walk | Waterfront Park, Seattle The park's newest addition is a public pedestrian bridge, playground, and garden space with Salish Sea views. Learn more about FREE events and experiences.

You're going to love Seattle in Sept. Pike Place Market is considered one of our top tourist destination. What it makes it even more special now is the addition of Overlook Walk which connects downtown to the waterfront - which has also been upgraded. waterfrontparkseattle.org/overlook-walk/

History repeats. 😲

What happened to Thornton?

So slightly bigger than Bam Bam Kam! 😮

Case in point. Krasnov’s cabinet. Exhibit A: Pete Hegseth Exhibit B: Robert F Kennedy Jr. Exhibit C: Tulsi Gabbard (not necessarily in that order).

Senor Smoke closes out a tense game for the #Mariners against the A's in Sacramento. La Piedra was outstanding giving up only 1 run on 5 hits through 7 innings. Ben Williamson with gold glove defense at the hot corner. #SeattleSports #TridentsUp

Absolutely-thanks!

This is worth a listen. Truth to power. #Resist #Fascism ✊🏾

Boyodo-in Temple on Oahu Hawaii

If you’re visiting Honolulu in Oahu, it’s worth a trip to the magnificent Byodo-in Temple. The temple is stunning and the backdrop is lush. Buy some feed in the gift shop to feed the koi fish and birds. The birds will eat the food out of your hands!!! #Hawaii #Buddhist #Paradise

Enjoy watching these baby turtles making their way to the ocean! 🐢

I’m enjoying a visit to the King Kamehameha V Judicial History Center in Honolulu Hawaii. It serves as an educational center and history museum for the Hawaii State Judiciary. The building is captured in the opening sequence of the Hawaii Five-O TV series and serves as the office for Steve McGarrett

Vegan specialty roll.

Vegan potatoes and mushrooms

Vegan Ramen

Our party of 4 had Dinner at Tane Vegan Izakaya in Honolulu. They serve an impressive array of #plantbased Japanese cuisine. We tried Loaded Potatoes, Grilled Mushrooms, Negima, Da Bao, Avocado Roll, Paradise Cove Specialty Roll, & the Shoyu Ramen with mocktails. Everything was fantastic! #veganfood

A picture of Waikīkī Beach and Diamond Head Mountain from Ala Moana Regional Park in Honolulu Oahu.

The beautiful sandy beach at Ala Moana Regional Park is underrated compared to neighboring Waikīkī Beach in #Honolulu. It’s popular for local residents and visitors who seek a calmer vibe. The park is adjacent to Ward Village which is one of the fastest growing urban developments in #Oahu. #Hawaii.

Check out Overlook Park behind Pike Place Market that leads you down to the revamped waterfront. At the waterfront, take the Great Wheel for a panoramic view of Elliott Bay and downtown. Have fun!

I’m ancient enough to say that I watches Star Trek:TOS as it aired. I loved most of the story lines even though Season 3 was mostly disappointing. I’ve watched all the movies and spinoffs. I am appalled at the trajectory of Star Trek:SNW. The Hegemony 2 Part Series is hot garbage. #StarTrek
