Every Alysa Liu news story is like a reverse milkshake duck where it makes her seem more impressive. Winning a gold medal in women’s figure skating is already fairly impressive, I probably couldn’t do it, but then she’s riding dune buggies through giant rings of fire and is a doctor

I love life on Earth 🥹

If you, like me, have Peacock for a limited time so you can watch the Olympics and Paralympics, give yourself the gift of watching We Are Lady Parts as many times as possible before you cancel your subscription. We Are Lady Parts. Just over and over again. Your life will improve.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I don't want to be a vulnerable road user. I just want to get around.

Bizarre that a 27 year old woman was killed in the heart of the city last night and it isn't even above the fold on the Seattle Times website the following morning. The only story about it is a brief couple of paragraphs from last night. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Phinney Books is one of the finest bookstores in Seattle because it's so well-curated. I always walk out of there with two or three new books. They're books that I had never heard of before I walked in, but I suddenly could not live without them.

AI adoption is kinda like if, in that one scene in the Peter Pan play where you gotta clap to save Tinkerbell's life, 80% of people booed

I’m at the Noodle family reunion. Gang is all here: Mr. Noodle, his brothers, Ms. Noodle. Even his dog. They’ve managed to set the pavilion on fire trying to take a group photo

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

A little pencil (actually a giant one) told us there's plenty of time to watch videos from the #EdsGuild2025 Red Pencil Conference AND *the video packages are on sale* to give even more people a chance to learn from the friendliest editing conference around! Details: edsguild.org/virtual-purchase

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Hooo boy, for me, it's this part. @kvanaren.bsky.social, is your manuscript already finalized? 😩

I dropped everything else I was doing today after seeing this Seattle Mayoral survey go live. Renting in Seattle is a DRAG, and I wrote a lottttt in my response. Please join me in documenting the nonsense you've faced as a Seattle renter!

I'm fairly confident that if you follow me and you live in Washington, you're on the "pro" side of this issue. Make sure your lawmakers know that!

Bless them. Especially that kid in the bottom center left. "Well, everyone knows clowns exist. What my sign presupposes is...maybe they don't."

This is kind of what eventually happened with booksellers after Amazon in the mid 1990s. Years of disruption, then more balanced recovery: ABA membership has been increasing in recent years (which means new stores keep opening). I hope there's a similar renaissance for journalism.

There's too much information all the time and all our news filters are clogged and overwhelmed: Today an acquaintance expressed mild surprise about how he'd heard Bad Bunny wasn't doing the halftime show anymore and Kid Rock was instead. (We set him straight.)

In the coming days you might well hear arguments that surveillance is the answer to the tragedy of gun violence, and therefore Seattle shouldn't turn off SPD's cameras. I urge you to interrogate this framing.

Do you guys like jack in the box (cheers) what about the writings of Jorge Luis borges? (Boos) ok well you’re going to like half this joke then

We should build more pyramids in tribute to trans america

There's too many fucking people in the Epstein files. Need Yakko Warner to sing a song about it to help me get caught up

I just won the costume contest at the Greenwood Senior Center's regular karaoke bingo night for dressing as Moira Rose. 😭

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

hey it turns out that growing up one of the reasons your parents were in bad moods was that they opened up the newspaper that morning and learned that another one of the people they had unwittingly included in their personal cosmology winked out

This is the exact argument people sometimes make trying to explain the "Seattle Freeze," wherein supposedly we don't welcome newcomers and it's hard to make friends here. Apparently Scandinavians contain multitudes.

WRONG ONE!!!!

Jay Inslee should run for Bainbridge Island council in 2027 as the most YIMBY candidate the island has ever seen

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
