this is a deep blue city in a Democratic trifecta state, yet everything the Trumpers do has its own direct analogue here. when the jackboots come how will we even notice

Reminds me how disgraced *Democratic* Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan as US Attorney arrested a bunch of activists for vandalism, searched their homes for zines & black t-shirts, then kept them in solitary for 5 months to coerce them to rat out their friends

Burl's talk show is TONIGHT 7:30 PM at Town Hall! Gonna be a good one, come see!

truly demented comment, no notes

to be clear, the tree did nothing wrong

in high school I'd sometimes enjoy a bottle of yoo-hoo on the way to school & I started putting the empty bottles on the branches of a small tree in the student parking lot. eventually this caught on & lots of ppl started putting yoo-hoo empties on "the yoo-hoo tree." the administration cut it down

Haven't been back, don't plan on ever going back. Who's next

The most powerful mascot in the city

Curby sighting!!

if you were on the fence about going out tonight or coming to the show, let me just say that without disclosing any further details that this is one you're gonna want to be there for and you'll be glad you did ;)

These portable public restrooms threaten the carefully protected heritage of Pioneer Square by robbing us of its historically accurate summertime urine stench

Howard Schultz was easily the most despised man in Seattle. He sold the Sonics and polled at 0% when he ran for president, lmao. In honor of his departure, here's a cartoon from The Vault featuring "Lil' Howie" the provocatively-shaped union-busting AI device (from Sept 2022)

can confirm, i had a client as a copywriter where my whole job was to fix all the horrible AI copy that a previous agency forced on them with no warning, totally riddled with basic factual errors

Burl Dirkman (the handyman alter-ego of @bretthamil.bsky.social) shares some useful advice on what your favorite old man snack says about you.

You can see Burl in action on March 14, alongside local favorites J. Kenji Lopez-Alt and @tomonakayama.bsky.social!

This is a cartoon from 2021 that prominently features Jamie and his do-nothing brigade (also features Pollet, who is being challenged by @ronpdavis.bsky.social!) Been on this for awhile and it's finally happening. Now's the time

For everyone saying we need to primary feckless do-nothing Democrats, here's your chance. If you asked me at any point in the past decade+ which Democrats in Olympia have got to go, my answer would've been the same: Jamie Pedersen. Well, now he has a challenger. Let's do this!

The ur-text of this line of thinking, of course, is Rob Saka complaining that an 8-inch traffic safety median was akin to Trump's border wall & "retraumatizing" to immigrants
