Only high priests and priestesses like Clammy Sammy could understand such details.

Just shut up and let your AI Agent plan your kid’s birthday parties and your vacations.

This was crossing Jackson on 2nd Ave (right by Zeitgeist).

Got the ped signal, looked both ways. I think I saw the minivan that blew the light, but they were so far away I assumed that surely they’d stop.

Nope. Full speed. Right through the intersection. I had to jump out of the way.

Nearly hit by a driver running a red light on my way to vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social.

I know the change won’t be overnight, but looking forward to mayor who might actually care about the plague of drivers blowing red lights that started in 2020 and has not been addressed at all.

As someone who frequently eats breakfast around 7 AM and lunch at 2 PM (busy work life), I wish I could eat dinner at 6 PM.

Then there’d be less crying while washing dishes at 11 PM.

It’s Election Day Seattle!

Remember to drop off your ballots!

The first Mayoral candidate to receive the endorsement of King County Democrats and EVERY Legislative District since at least 2001!

Bruce Harrell's campaign misleadingly sent out a text tonight that implies he's the only candidate endorsed by Democrats. In fact, our campaign has the SOLE endorsement of the King County Democrats and every single local Democrat group in Seattle.

ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web OpenAI’s chatbot offers paraphrases, whereas Google offers quotes. Which do we prefer?

The science-fiction writer Ted Chiang explores how ChatGPT works and what it could—and could not—replace.

It turns out the project of the 21st century will be creating all the disasters that 20th century sci-fi warned us about.

Has Vanishing Seattle done a post yet gushing about this icon of Seattle’s past, and how evil developers are going to build a 4 story apartment on that lot that will destroy the neighborhood?

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

All of my fellow aging millennial friends are either out of town or are heading out of town and I've somehow found myself with an extra ticket to tomorrow's Death Cab for Cutie show.

A couple of these are bad/creepy. Probably a huge bouquet of roses for someone you’re not already dating is not a good idea (unless she’s said she likes that), and intense eye contact is great once you’re intimate with someone but not as a way of getting them to like you 😅

I just googled “how to get girls to like me -ai” in an incognito window to see what comes up.

Without clicking through, it seems…fine? Basically correct and inoffensive.

Right, but does it get recommended to me by YouTube when I am done watching my COD walkthrough?

To the degree that I sought out advice online, I feel like advice from progressive sex educators is what I found. It wasn’t hard to find in the early 2000s, at least.

Curby bites deep and hard, and doesn’t let go!

True, and I think it’s possible for the powerful and privileged to find a legal pretext if they want one.

And also I think Sawant pissed off the monied elites in the city, and Saka, for all his incompetence, does not.

And ultimately Seattle is deeply fiscally conservative/Libertarian.

The fact that there was a nearly successful recall campaign against Kshama Sawant and not a peep of a recall against Rob Saka tells you everything you need to know about Seattle politics.

NoBendium II Stake (6 Pack) It's tent security. The Kelty Nobendium II tent stakes are made of high-quality aluminum for less bending, and have a tapered point to go in easily!

I swapped out my UL tent stakes for these and while a big steel nail and a little sledge would be better, a rock and my shoe will usually get the job done.

Holy shit yes, the ground is almost always hard and full of rocks.

If you put your own name in quotes, is that fourth person?

Or most Safeways.

For an added bit of fun, frequently the racks aren’t bolted down and it’s impossible to use without getting in the way of people getting firewood bundles or propane canisters.

Pretty sure the left’s approach to men getting laid is to be a decent human who has their own life and social circle and cultivates their own diverse interests, showers regularly, has a bed frame, more than one towel, knows what a banana is, and enjoys eating pussy.
