My girlfriend is playing a game called Barotrauma but the stylized font of its title treatment makes it look like "Bardtrauma" which I assume is what most people who were forced to be involved with a high school Shakespeare production have sent skeet

I feel like if Washington sent out a letter at the end of the year that told you how much you paid in sales taxes the support for an income tax would be a lot higher.

while you were studying the blade, i went to the store

I’m so upset

Honestly I don't know why people were arriving that early, I rolled up to 4th and Union during my lunch break and saw mostly everything just fine. Yeah I couldn't see the cheerleaders but who cares. Everyone else was on top of a bus.

Like, I'm personally expecting the world cup to feel like a slightly larger stadium event and we do those all the time. If anything the fact that an order of magnitude more people were able to get in and out of downtown today proves the opposite.

Not seeing it a lot but I am seeing some amounts of "wow if this is what transit is like today then we aren't prepared for the world cup" and I'm so genuinely curious what those people thinks happens during the world cup

And like, the headways weren't even bad. Pretty sure trains were coming every six minutes. Just way too many people. Really needed redundant bus service.

Trains were basically packed since 8AM, I'm imagining they're going to be packed until like 3PM. When I got to Northgate at 8:30 this morning I eventually just took the train all the way to Lynnwood since that seemed like the only way to get on a southbound train.

I'm just trying to go to work man

The Muppet Show was great!!!

I don't know if I can describe in words how transcendent the experience that was the mystery DJ of 1st and Yesler putting on Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us" just now.

We're on round two of playing "Not Like Us" on a huge ass speaker in the middle of this crosswalk.

A good time is being had

A "Fuck the 9ers" chant has broken out on this light rail car.

Yeah man there's absolutely no luck involved in the 2025 AL West title the Mariners won, it absolutely didn't come down to Victor Robles diving to make an insane catch, no they just were simply better than everyone else. Why play the games really?

Well, good for the hawks.

Honestly there's a case for Dickson MVP

Sam Darnold just won a Super Bowl ginger solidarity

That's fucking game. Let's go crazy Seattle.

One of those things where I see the joke being made but also the implication that Spanish is so easy to learn that you could dedicate four months to learning it and pick up enough to fully comprehend Bad Bunny songs is not my favorite thing to say!

There's a lot of ways to criticize the idea of getting mad at a halftime show because it's in a language you don't understand but "why didn't you just learn enough Spanish to understand poetry written in it in four months" is a deeply shitty one tbh.

And that's why you don't suck on offense for three quarters and get to comfortably win.

Idk man that Bad Bunny halftime show felt important

"Why didn't the Bunny sing about the stock market" okay grandpa time for your nightly smoothie of every pill known to man

A TOUCHDOWN!!! AN ACTUAL TOUCHDOWN!!!

"Jurassic Park would've turned out fine if Xfinity was there" is uh. Certainly what that commercial was about.

I'd love to have thoughts on that Super Bowl halftime show with the rest of y'all but I'm busy over here thinking about if Sinners is anti-communist if you're wondering how it's going.

Yes I did just pregame the Super Bowl by watching Sinners at the Cinerama. Any questions about that?

Lotta people in Seattle taking the day off today. There's like half the usual foot traffic getting off my train at Westlake just now.
