When it comes to choosing a good pair of headphones, what happens when you take features, design, and brand awareness out of the equation, and leave it all up to the sound?

Yes, it's a holiday film.

Who needs a village when you can have parking lots?

they put the postal service in the fucking constitution it is a public service and not supposed to make a fucking profit aaaaaaaaaaa

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

i get shaking with anger when i see them just defacing the kennedy center while chuck schumer was like "welp, we just cant raise the minimum wage -- cause the parliamentarian said no." jesus fuckin' christ.

These Seahawks uniforms look like unlicensed Temu knockoffs, or a rejected Oregon Ducks uniform. It's a sin when we could just be in our amazing throwback unis. #GoHawks

We've seen similar results in Kenmore - with speeding down 90% where the cameras are! Enforcement works!

the failure to prosecute Trump for seeking to overturn the election is one of the greatest and most consequential bag fumbles in the history of American politics

NYT: “In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

Even North Korea’s going to be telling Johnson to tone it down a bit.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

Well, yes Medicare for all would do that

These people are ghouls.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.

Waiting to see @actualbenfolds.bsky.social perform with the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall!

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

So a few things: 1) The initial boat strike was illegal; 2) The two survivors were trying to continue their drug run by clinging to wreckage?! 3) The initial boat strike was illegal.

The Sound Cities Association's annual meeting is always a joy! Tonight we got to hear from our new County Executive @girmayzahilay.bsky.social, who shared his vision for King County. Looking forward to his leadership!

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Are electrical outlets mad at me? Many users feel like they're looking at an angry little guy

Honored to be able to attend the ceremonial swearing in of Executive-elect @girmayzahilay.bsky.social, and excited to see what his leadership will bring to King County!

How DARE they tell people to follow the law! The AUDACITY!!

In 2003 I read a story by @thestranger.com about the Governor of Vermont who was running for President. I started volunteering there, have worked in politics and government ever since, and am now the Mayor of Kenmore, WA.

When I was sworn in the officer administering the oath told us, a roomful of draftees, that not only were we required to obey lawful orders but also to refuse unlawful ones. There it was, first thing. 1966! Viet Nam era!

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

MTG is the drama & it’s fun to watch, but that doesn’t change who she is or the harm she’s caused & continues to cause.

Scrap the cap!

Hey Science people 🧪, anyone know if there have there been papers written or studies done on the effect of non-stop christmas pop music to people? I certainly feel like I'm still recovering from 10 years of of working retail

If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right? And rightfully so. So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to tolerate being subjected to the sort of abuse, that she has subjected trans people to for years, for approximately one week.

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Fox Business: "Remember, if you do want to do another protein like beef, the price is still up. It's about 5 times the price it was last year. So just keep that in mind. Turkey is probably your best bet. Just stick to the one."

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Some of you never paid enough attention to professional wrestling and it shows. A surprising “face turn” always, always, ALWAYS ends back in a return to “heel”. This is of course a post about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
