I have wanted exactly that, thank you so much.

Two audience members at the Olympics are wearing hideous outfits of rubber eagle masks and shirt/shorts sets that are blue and white stars, red and white horizontal stripes and additional giant eagle heads in the middle of the shirts. Just remarkably ugly top to bottom!

Because being American isn't embarrassing enough yet

Dammit what will I punch now?

presidents day / also any old day you like

Somewhere in my office I have a vintage Borden milk recipe booklet that talks up this happy couple without actually including any glue-based recipes.

These are not technologies that Seattle has been using forever that are difficult to contemplate not using. Just go back to June 2024 when SPD had a handful of license plate readers and no CCTV cameras.

I just tried to convince myself that Pooooo could catch on for Cal but it feels too mean

Because you would know: do the Mariners have a player where we get to sound like booing when we're not? Gruuuuuu and Coooooop have me curious. Storm and Torrent also need this, soccer teams don't really work for the bit I think.

"We'd been bamboozled" is somehow perfect. This is the second tale I've read of something similar unlike the first, this manages to make it all weirdly charming. So glad they didn't get scammed!

"I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."
I need to start sending everyone replacement valentines for Darwin Day with quotes from him and, like, taxonomy illustrations.

White woman with white hair with her back to the camera. Her shirt has a Seahawks 12 below the words Fuck Ice

Parade ready, with what "12 as 1" means to me

Sure. It's just, like, ICE *is* attacking the city (more accurately the smaller cities that surround us). This subtle head pat from his comms team feels so patronizing.
Hope it all goes smoothly for the giant party, weird times.

Tan and white striped Cooper's hawk sitting on a chain link fence next to some shrubs in the winter. She's looking to the side toward a small brick apartment building

This Cooper's hawk absolutely did not care that I was a few yards/meters away. Nice to spot on my block today, possibly summoned by the endless Seahawks chat.

The eyebrows of heroes all look alike

Do we think Bob has ever heard and understood the phrase "read the room?"

Explaining the somewhat invisible but endless bits of garbage capitalism and calling the NFL a crime syndicate while watching and enjoying yesterday's spectacle = me crushing my auntie responsibilities to the teens watching the Super Bowl in my basement

Also back in 99 for the WTO protests. I felt absolutely trapped in my apartment for those days, which feels like the goal.

I suspect because our ferries and fishing boats are not sailing vessels? Mariners is correctly inclusive.

And the Kraken! My favorite is one of the Sounders feeder teams named Tacoma Defiance, simply a perfect match of city vibe and team name.

Someday we will get the Beak Bowl we deserve, Ravens v. any of the other three, and I will be absolutely delirious for the entire two weeks of bird sports memes

Statler and Waldorf are why GenX is the way it is. We were absolutely trained to interrupt our giddy enjoyment with cattiness and snark until that's all we have left.

Are there license plates on both sides?

Love it. Great design, both the box interior and the sign. Little Free Everything, forever.

As @gfrancie.bsky.social wrote recently: cannot wait for the state fair seed art

There is no chance they're as good as those fried lava empanadas

1,000 years ago, my parents had their first date on Groundhog's Day and its lore was a low-key joking part of their anniversary. Not Willie's tale, but a lot of the other stuff. Like, Phil was right up there with Santa and the tooth fairy in my childhood. Turns out it's not a paid holiday, so rude.

Don Lemon is the real Duke 😂

Parades, for starters. Cake for absolute days. And I can't imagine that death slipping my mind at all, ever, once it finally fucking happens!

Yeah, I saw an older guy carrying some gear on the train and after a little googling discovered that his beer league stick was only like $80. "Only" my god. A friend's kid plays sled hockey and if I am remembering right, the sleds are $7k.
