It's such a bummer... thanks for writing about it. :)

All USDOT projects must comply with diversity requirements by law. The framing they are using is a thin sham to justify the targeting of Blue States and transportation projects that do not favor their oil industry buddies.

You might think, "a feedback item? they won't read that?"

They won't read it, but their AI will and generate a sentiment score as well as word cloud. They still get a signal on why sentiment is changing. Tell these choads that they need to stand up to bullies.

The only way to get to them is through the $$. I've cancelled my plans to buy a watch, phone, and ipad. I dropped any subscription run through apple (they get a billing cut). I wrote up a feedback item for them.

When quitting is n... So I was shocked — but hardly surprised - to read in The Seattle Times that my opponent dropped out of Oxford just weeks before graduation because she was turned off by "careerism."

Our mayor—who pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in an altercation over a parking spot—is outraged that Katie Wilson dropped out of Oxford University.

In related news, murder charges are really doing damage to the Assassination industry.

And with a home charger it happens overnight. No more trips to the gas station.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

I think the harrell story that broke me was when he hired his friend tim ceis to the tune of $280,000 (just under the 285k limit that would require a public bid for the work) astroturf opposition to a CID station with actually good connections to other transit

A cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking side by side on a street. The woman wears a stylish dress and holds a purse, while the man is in a suit. The caption reads, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”

Very glad to see this info finally out there!

She’s 43. I’m 43. It would be really nice if the patriarchy stopped treating women my age like little inexperienced girls who shouldn’t worry their pretty little heads about things like this. I doubt we’d be saying this shit if she were a man.

People in Seattle seehawks jerseys and gear walking along a sidewalk and in a two-way bike lane alongside a road

Photos don't do it justice, but we built Alaskan Way vehicle ROW for peak vehicle demand. We did not build the sidewalks for peak pedestrian demand.

Practice moving the people and transit BEFORE the cars.

A bus stop filled with people. 6-8 busses stacked up waiting to get past Jackson.

I’m so tired of the way the city treats transit riders….

Tonight we had another post-game disaster where the cars are prioritized and the busses are not. At least the @seattlepolicedept.bsky.social traffic management guy yelled at me when I let him know how I felt.

It is so very hard to be across the street for a Portland game. We will be running over as soon as this one is over.

We GenX know that in twenty years, you'll regret all your choices now. You are not your career. That's a lie you're forced to swallow so people can exploit you for labor, and make you feel guilty if you don't.

Work is work. Life is life. Life is more important than work.
