I've thought that people who don't travel outside the U.S. have no idea that we're shitty. Shitty is all they know and they'll defend it, without having a clue the wonders that exist in Japan, Europe, etc. Myopia.

Because our culture is biased against both density and taxing ourselves for the public good, among other things. We don't value it, so we don't prioritize it. And people think public transit is for the poor, so they're biased against building more. My two cents, but so much more to it.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

We need to retake the Senate, House, and Presidency. When we have that, we need a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United. It would be interesting to see how many Democrats would vote against their deep pocket corporate owners, I mean donors.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Chart showing a big jump from 2024 to 2025 in the number of pre-application proposed residential units. No year has ever gone above 1000 until that year

Chart showing a big jump from 2024 to 2025 in the number of pre-application proposed residential units. No year has ever gone above 1000 until that year

After adopting housing reforms that included eliminating parking mandates and increased density limits throughout the city, Bothell has seen a major jump in pre-applications for residential projects.

Average number of units entering pre-application over the past 5 years: 580
In 2025: 1000+

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
