Across the country, Starbucks workers are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike for a fair first contract, and I know which side I’m on. Baristas make Starbucks an extraordinarily wealthy company. They are entitled to their fair share of that wealth and to benefits and fair treatment on the job.

after citizens united, the decision to legalize sports gambling might be the single most damaging (non-trump) case the roberts court has ever handed down

Council President Nelson pulled the amendment from @councilmember-amr.bsky.social to add $400,000 to restore funding to tenant services for a full council vote. This is an amendment supported by the Seattle Renters' Commission.

quick check in on nikola jokic as he breaks basketball again through 11 games: WS/48 - .468 (would break all-time record by 37%) PER - 39.3 (would break all-time record by 20%) BPM - 20.8 (would break all-time record by 52%) early season yet but good lord

“people are saying” is very trump, but “anomalies” is more alex jones language. it’s the term he uses to sow doubt around political events like elections (or anything that makes the news, really)

can someone please check in with megyn kelly’s daughter yardley, age 14? sounds like she might not be ok

tom barrack is currently us ambassador to turkey and i would very much like marco rubio to explain under oath why we are sending alleged child rapists to conduct our foreign policy

keep an eye on dr. abdul el-sayed, he's hot on the mic

my political position is morphing slowly to "waterboard everyone who has ever set foot by choice into mar-a-lago"

just checking in - why do people set warming fires, again? maybe let’s think one step further back

it’s somehow even more embarrassing when they sit out an endorsement and then the incumbent wins 80% of the vote

happy bruce harrell shitting himself day to those who celebrate

i'll always remember rob saka for being a corporate shill and a giant fucking idiot

If you didn’t know, Seattle restaurant owners and consultants have been fighting against street food and food truck reforms for decades. Our regulatory environment is why until now, Seattle has not really developed a street food culture like Portland (or many other cities).

so there’s definitely pastors out there using chatgpt to write sermons right can’t imagine that’s not destroying the corpse of christianity

1. this is both petrifying and infuriating 2. unless major changes occur, this story will continue to be written 3. i read this and can't help but remember that bruce harrell wants to pump more and more public funding into this technology www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

the fuck is this verb choice @wsj.com

If this evidence ever sees the light of day, I want prosecutors, judges, and juries to see it, but I have absolutely no interest in viewing any of it.

so what kind of champagne does everyone have prepped, seems like it's becoming a more relevant question by the day

israeli lawmakers appear to suggest that nyc jews should honor their dual loyalty to israel by moving out of the usa? but sure itamar, it’s the nerdy guy who wants to make the trains free who’s the problem *audible eye roll* www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/w...

"once more into the fray" evokes shakespeare, but is in fact much stupider! this line is from the 2012 liam neeson film "the grey", not from any actual poem. director joe carnahan was inspired by the siege of harfleur in henry v it can't be said enough: this is an action movie for these dipshits

i see dick cheney has finally decided to take national security seriously
