The Impolite Seattleite

Honestly, fuck these people.

Nine out of ten texts I get from unknown numbers are either offers to buy my house for cash or war plans from Pete Hegseth. It’s so annoying.

It's almost like she's begging us to vandalize Teslas.

I'm withholding my tax dollars from the federal government until I get a full throated apology from Trump.

If Gov. Mills tells Trump to "eat a bag of dicks" I will max out to her reelection campaign.

I am so cheating on my taxes.

I think all reasonable people can agree that in a civilized society it is simply wrong to randomly torch or vandalize a Tesla unless it is a CyberTruck because fuck those guys.

I wonder if @adamsmith.house.gov is getting the same sort of crowds for his Blame the Left Tour?

So... in a future of abundance, if I wanted Musk dead, I could literally have that? Hmm.

Rep. Smith’s crusade against Democrats’ left wing gets attention, flak Washington Rep. Adam Smith's loud criticisms are attracting national attention as Democrats debate why they lost the 2024 election.

Will somebody with a snowball's chance in hell finally primary this guy already?

Thank god they finally cut that fucking ribbon—it'd been clotheslining bikers for weeks!

I thought WA's "three strikes" law was meant to prevent repeat offenders like Woo?

There are only three type of people in the world—the type who see Musk give a full on Nazi salute and:

1) think it’s awful

2) think it’s terrific

3) are the type of stupid fucking lying assholes who deny that it’s a Nazi salute

Not sure if that pit in my stomach is Trump or cancer. I'm kinda rooting for cancer.

I want Danny Westneat’s home to be entirely surrounded by five-over-ones like that house in Up.

I’m not generally a land-use libertarian absolutist, but for those selfish whiners in Madrona, hell yeah!

I say we build ALL the new housing in Madrona, just to fuck ‘em.

(Also, if we build an additional 100,000 units in Madrona over the next decade, I’d wager they’d get some additional bus service.)

I’ve never used TikTok.

Opinion | The World Is a Mess, and It’s Still the Best Time to Be Alive What matters isn’t so much a Trump rant as that children are less likely to die now than at any other time in the history of the world.

Nick Kristof can go fuck himself.

WA Gov. Ferguson orders U.S. flags at full-staff for Trump inauguration Despite the national mourning period for the late Jimmy Carter, Washington's Gov. Bob Ferguson is directing flags to be raised Monday for Inauguration Day.

Makes me want to chop down a shit ton of flag poles.

No. So stfu.

Gov. Ferguson distances from Inslee in inaugural speech, draws GOP praise Gov. Bob Ferguson's inaugural speech showed how he may be distancing himself from former Gov. Jay Inslee and that he may not be as aligned with Democratic lawmakers as his predecessor.

I know Bob is a chess master and all that, but he probably should have more closely considered which party controls the legislature before making this sort of stupidly amateur opening move.

My proposal is no districts, all at-large, all up for reelection at the same time, top nine vote-getters win.

You lost me at “Danny Westneat has an excellent column”

Jeff Bezos may not be our nation's biggest threat to democracy (hello, Elon!) but he's a threat nonetheless, and anybody still doing business with his businesses is a fucking collaborator.

Depressing front page of the Seattle Times.

Happy Fucking New Year, Seattle!

"Generation Totally Fucked Over By All The Previous Generations"

2/2 It's not like the Seattle Times doesn't have reporters who are experienced at covering the min wage and the restaurant industry. But no, they intentionally assigned this to a business reporter with zero institutional memory of Seattle's min wage so as to avoid the possibility of context.

Seattle minimum wage hits $20.76 an hour — and it’s not the area’s highest Seattle’s lowest-paid workers will be ringing in the new year with a raise.

1/2 "In Seattle, restaurant workers and businesses alike have expressed mixed feelings about the coming increase..."

And yet, Fu doesn't bother quoting a single restaurant worker or business owner about their alleged "mixed feelings." Huh.

One of Seattle's oldest bars is closing for now; will return in 2025 An allegedly haunted Pioneer Square cafe that bills itself as Seattle's oldest continuously-used restaurant will close temporarily, but plans to return in 2025.

Big dick move to blame min wage for layoffs during refurbishing rather than admit you don't give a shit about staff.

"… it didn’t make financial sense to keep staff on the payroll, especially since the city of Seattle will implement one of the nation’s highest minimum wages in 2025, Hanson said."
