We are tiptoeing up to the weird societal inflection point where people will start saying ultras are easy because women do them better than men.

And minimum wage increased 0% 🥲

Guess you missed NFTs

Piggybacking on this to say that I'm gonna start blocking even long-time friends/mutuals if you keep putting this slop on my timeline, and I mean it.

We already know the Ocean Boiler 9000 is bad, and the 9500 upgrade isn't magically better. Stop making me hate you all for the sake of a cheap dunk.

A long-hair black cat stares intently at the camera while lounging on the couch. His front paws are extended toward the camera.

Look at this handsome gentleman.

A gray, buff, and white dilute calico kitten stretches out with her front paws extended and her head leaning against her person’s jeans-clad thigh. Her eyes are closed in contentment and her pink toe beans peek out from one paw

This is Gracie! She is 11 weeks old and she is my darling little demon kitten 😂

Why are you accepting the premise that this crap is “here to stay”?

Seattle people know it’s actually Post Alley under Pike Place.
No possessives.

I try to be honest with my manager and explain when I’ve banged my head against a particular wall for long enough (years) that I just can’t emotionally do it anymore. Doesn’t mean we can’t make improvements, but I’m clearly not going to be the one to make this one happen. 2/2

Maybe not surprisingly, building that kind of thing is a big part of my day job, and I generally agree. I will say that there’s all the AI crap getting shoved down our throats in the name of speed though that I do push back on because it isn’t better! 1/2

This! When people look at you baffled because you suggest a slight modification that would make things easier for everyone involved… I don’t know what to do with that!

Y'all realize that generating the "look at the stupid LLM" maps are *using* the LLM, right? And therefore training it, and using a stupid amount of water and power, and taking advantage of all the stolen content? Exactly like if you were using it *not* to make fun of it?

A million times this! Thinking you’re doing the asshole thing “ironically” doesn’t really matter if the outcome is the same.

My hiccups are so bad that people around me become alarmed. 🙃

Fluffy gray tabby in a sunbeam, enjoying some head scratches more than he’d care to admit.

The Morning Monty heard that it’s National Cat Day and he accepts his tributes accordingly.

This is the kind of shit we actually should be protecting female athletes from.

Does anyone in the Seattle area live in a apartment/condo without central air conditioning *and* has windows that don't easily allow for a portable air conditioner? Send stories and pictures for some research I'm doing on climate adaptation.

✨cellular integrity/autophagy✨

Whoops, looks like you missed a word - we need more trains and TRAIN CARS to protect the environment. …and busses, bikes, walkable living, etc.

If it helps, if not, ignore!
I also hear great things about @buttondown.com for newsletters.

Council Amendments to Comprehensive Plan Reveal Competing Priorities - PubliCola The comprehensive plan sets rules for how Seattle develops in the future, including where the city will allow its renter…

From @publicola.bsky.social:

The most extreme proposal from Rivera-and the one that made Rinck confirm with council staff that the amendment really would do what it appeared to do-would allow the city to require developers to come up with a completely new alternative plan if it turned out their housing proposal would require the removal of any tree, no matter its size, age, or viability. It's easy to see how this could grind development in traditional single-family areas to a halt. If someone planted a sapling on a property slated for development, or if there was already unremarkable small tree on site, the city could stop the project and require the developer to start from scratch.

🚨 Seattle, our City Council is proposing to prioritize twigs over people.

Did you know some council members want to slash development to protect homeowners, force redesigns if new housing threatens a tree of ANY size, and give the city HOA-like authority to dictate the type of siding on some houses? We read the comp plan amendments so you don't have to.

A series of headlines about the Seattle mayoral race. Bloomberg says Seattle Mayoral Race Shows Progressive Shift, Mirroring New York Fox News says Mamdani-style activist, liberal incumbent advance to Seattle mayoral runoff Daily Mail says Seattle on track to elect wokest mayor ever who wants to slash police budget in crime-plague... Washington Examiner says Seattle mayor to face off against left-wing activist in November election Daily Mail says Seattle on track to elect one of the farthest left candidates

lol these headlines make me want to vote harder

Okay this one made me genuinely angry on kid’s behalf. Ice cream & midol was PERFECT, go dad. Follow up is promising at least!

Landlords fined for first time under WA’s new law capping rent increases For the first time, Washington’s attorney general has enforced the state’s new cap on rent hikes, fining eight landlords $2,000 each for violating the law.

a friend recently moved out and the asshole landlord commented that he’d never seen the apartment so clean… yea, we know

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) 🫠
