Dan Newhouse is really good at exactly this kind of old-school public relations pablum, but photo ops aren't getting done. His party has refused to negotiate to open the government. His party caused the uncertainy!

My son heard this actual conversation at Lee's Tahitian "I shouldn't be here, I should be on a yacht drinking Mimosas at 10AM, not in eastern Washington." This from one those Instagram model-types. But really though, don't we ALL want to be on a yacht at 10AM drinking Mimosas?

Here’s How the AI Crash Happens The U.S. is becoming an Nvidia-state.

So many more questions than answers. But fundamentally, how many jobs does each one of these data centers erase, and at what cost? Then there are the climate change concerns: "OpenAI has announced that it intends to build at least 30 gigawatts’ worth of data centers"

@devin4wa.com Devin, find me on Social Media, if you don't mind. I think you and I are going to compete for the same voters, although, I'm running as a Democrat in WA-04.

Doug White makes a great point here that some seats can be won for much less than others.

@lauren-egan.bsky.social; @jvl.bsky.social Hey, I just wanted to share, I'm trying get the basic infrastructure in place to run a campaign, and it is hilariously difficult to do this the "right way." Maybe I'll write in my neglected stack about it, but there may be a story here...

@jenee.bsky.social I'm sorry, but you missed on your response to Worried Grandparents. "He went from nonverbal ..." The child comes first, the parents ARE being selfish! ... hmmm maybe that doesn't help...

@jenee.bsky.social Yesterday, I was critiquing advice columns a bit as being too focused self versus community, I see you raised my bet a chore calendar for new tenant! Point taken!

Arch-typical example was the other day, nice woman wrote in devastated that her 4 children produced zero grandchildren. The response from Slate was... not sympathetic

But I really am beginning to believe the proverbial pendulum has swung too far toward the individual and away from family/community.

@jenee.bsky.social Couple things, welcome back! I'm off X now, but I used to chat you up on X. There is an ongoing problem I've been having with the advice columns... too focused on self, and not focused community/family. I'm struggling with this issue a bit (long story)

@laurahelmuth.bsky.social WRT "Good Job." I've been working for 37 years, and every employee every where needs to repeat this every morning: "You can love your job, but your job won't love you back." SPOT ON!!!
