Frisbee games and a high school football game today at the sports fields at Ingraham High School.

For some reason, a couple of SPD's finest wandering around (cause you know how that ultimate frisbee crowd can get).

One wearing a trump shirt.

A scene from one of Seattle's No Kings protests. A 10 year old boy in a blue jacket holds a homemade sign that says "Democracy not monarchy".

My youngest and the sign he made.

He had to tape together rulers cause he couldn't find a longer stick.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Yes, when you define being against what the seattle subway folks advocate as "anti transit" then you get to say that.

IMO the stranger has never shown even the slightest interest in learning about how transit works, why we have it, how we could improve it.

"grandma bloc" is def a vibe at these, for better or worse (i think mostly better). Not most of the protesters by any means but def over-represented. A lot of older ladies in our community really fucking hate Trump! bsky.app/profile/maea...

The polls and numbers show THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM - but that doesn't feel real and visceral to our institutions, which imagine a silent MAGA majority hiding under their bed.

You know what feels real? Ten million people in the streets, saying "Look around, THERE ARE MORE OF US"

Take the train downtown!

Hey, this way Shohei's homers merely dent car hoods.

You want him breaking apartment windows?

It had never occurred to me that Seattle <-> Portland could benefit from interlining, what with the PNW being so isolated from the rest of the country.

Would this mean an extra trip or two per day from Seattle to Portland? he asked for a friend.

it's easy to get used to the daily nature of it and ignore it and forget about it, but playoff baseball removes all doubt.

reliably, every year.

I have middle kid's frisbee game to coach, so we can't attend, but youngest and oldest are going with their grandmother, and youngest even made a sign!

Doing my part for the buses! Let’s fix the L8!!!! @fixthel8.bsky.social

That's the M's reward if they pull this off and make it to the world series.

They get to be part of a footnote when he does something never done before.

You do have the option of rooting for the Mariners.

Yeah, I endorse him leaving his homework alone tomorrow, and scrambling to get it down on Sunday.

I listened to this on local radio, and if there were ever a case for having the local announcers do the audio for national broadcasts, it is this call.

GOMS!!!!!

Since scoring in the first just seems to piss Toronto off, I for one am glad we decided not to do that again.

Definitely not fluoride!

Sometimes I think on what claims like this really mean: hey, my opponent has done basically nothing with her life and still managed to kick my ass in the primary and... wait a minute let me try this again.

Yes, it would be great if housing and green energy could be built as easily as gas turbines to power the bullshit machines.

We saved the consumer so much, they couldn't even calculate it - can you believe that? many people are saying they've never seen anything like it.

Aligned with a post I did yesterday, I'm going to suggest the answer is that this tax was only ever really intended to be punitive, not to address a problem the council was interested in addressing (since there exist far more effective ways of addressing that problem).

This mailer has a creepy stalker vibe that I find off-putting.

jesus fucking christ.

Hi, AI qual researcher here! Incorrect (and, like, WILDLY leading).

By far, the strongest position in this debate is “I tried AI, it helps with some things but completely hallucinated others, so anything it does I have to double-check. I maybe use 15% of the AI tools my employer has launched”.

I just paid 60 bucks for an annual sub to an interesting (to me) text based blog. That has posts that are entirely too long. Way too long. But text.

Take that, instagram/facebook/tiktok/linkedin. I don't want video. At all.
