@arlingtondes.bsky.social - it's been 24 hours and not only have we not seen a plow, but no one even replied to my email. There is definitely confusion between how the streets are marked on the plow tracker map vs the downloadable PDF.

Snow Removal Phases and Process Arlington responds to winter storms in phases that progressively expand street mobility from emergency vehicle access to more typical traffic patterns.

Who can we contact if we live on a red (primary) arterials that is supposed to be included in Phase 2 while the snow is still coming down, but we haven't been plowed once? In fact, the map is out of date, missing buildings built at least 3 yrs ago.

Iran and Egypt set to play Seattle's World Cup LGBTQ Pride Match - Outsports A World Cup match in Seattle has been named the Pride Match. That game now features Egypt and Iran, which imprison gay people.

So one of the World Cup matches here on Seattle is supposed to celebrate LGBTQ+ fans. Unfortunately the two teams "randomly" selected to play that match are... Egypt and Iran. This World Cup is already cursed.

I treat Canva just like PowerPoint and use their features to create specific infographics or images that relate to the slide I can't find elsewhere. They have a great clipart library.

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing β€œa great job.”

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

Who will stand up for our democracy? This
question, fraught in even the most peaceful
times, has only grown more pressing as our
country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Each passing day brings growing assaults on
essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process.
Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces
a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches
publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against
peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into
an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls
upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation
desperately needs your cowardice.
Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure
passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It
was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can
too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant
wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and
women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power
and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was
stripped awayβ€”and that is where we have finally arrived.
Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time
for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is
not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone
on about what’s happening to their precious democracy.
This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov-
eling. Now is not the time to say, β€œEnough is enough,” and
have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing
assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave
of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about
getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama.
But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.
