Legacy media is dying. Independent media is flourishing. I donโ€™t know about everywhere else but Seattle has 6+ (off the top of my head) great little local media outlets. Most of them have their own little niche and all are seemingly funded and valued.

Electric bikes and electric motorcycles have a lot of blurred lines, especially when most Americans almost never ride either. They lump everything that is not cars into one unnecessary ball of annoyance.

To be fair, they do some good journalism. Especially when itโ€™s not election season.

Yeah how could you say no to this?

Ok how are you going to endorse Harrell then.

โ€œInvolved in a crashโ€ they were sitting indoors in a restaurant. Stop carrying water for car violence.

If weโ€™d had a more rigorous debate on the nitty gritty of running a city in 2020 Harrell never would have been mayor. But that only ever applies when the left has momentum.

When the left wins itโ€™s โ€œideological drama.โ€ When the conservatives win itโ€™s a โ€œreferendum on radical left policymakers.โ€

Funny how they only ever feature the opinions from one specific group during election seasons.

The @seattletimes.com editorial section is absurd. The thing about editorial sections you need to understand is these are the opinions the papersโ€™ owners want to platform. They clearly assume a significant number of people who read the paper are morons.

This is probably right. Going forward we can assume that law enforcement who remain and enforce unjust laws are probably almost all bad people who are there to inflict harm.

Cities arenโ€™t scary. Youโ€™re just easily scared.

This is insane and everyone knows it. Is this Davisonโ€™s revenge for getting wrecked in the primary? City leadership is completely responsible for whatever happens.

I feel like this is something we should vote on allowing or not.

With a little luck this might be easier to imagine in Seattle in a few months.

Ask these feds how they feel about out big government getting in peoplesโ€™ business.

This comments section is why Bluesky is a strong indicator of public sentiment.

Cancel any pending legal action against any Gaza protestor from the last 2 years. Pay back any fine they were charged. They were right.

Vintage cars are stylish but not practical by modern standards. Unless you have a good mechanic nearby for them or have time and skill to do the work yourself, this is a bad idea.

Mercedes W123 or 1980s BMW 5 series.

Yeah adding a higher number of users isnโ€™t necessarily a good thing. The ratio of intelligent/important/influential people to fuckwits/shitheads/dumbasses is the real metric they should be reporting on.

hitting 122 in Paris in 2050 is insane.

100% I was leaning slightly Claudia due to reasons explained very well in the urbanist endorsement.

He said he was going to connect the streetcar lines and Retvrn to Seattleโ€™s glory days. That would have been climate win if it actually happened.

Theyโ€™re forming a team of guys everyone loves and listens to.

I love how just the threat of progressive leadership makes 90s Republican Dems do stuff they insisted a month ago was impossible.

Kind of annoying we still have to wait for responsible leadership.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain peopleโ€”How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
