Belkan flag moment

Broke: Return the slab or suffer my curse Bespoke: Break my stone and you’ll die horribly

Visited the National Nordic Museum, guess it was practically inevitable I’d go into what I’m doing now. Neato if you ask me!

I have family in other towns talking to me about stuff they read in the *newspaper* about how she’s apparently some Rich-Hating person who is gonna kick Amazon out or something. It’s amazing how far away from Seattle this stuff spreads! (To Vancouver, the one with the fort)

Legacy media covers Mayor Wilson like she's some lawless warlord who somehow seized power. They covered Harrell like a genial ribbon-cutting local fixture even after his own niece called out his administration's toxic bro culture & it came out he flashed a gun at a pregnant woman over a parking spot

A… ballot? Initiative? Sometimes I hate democracy

Investigation Found That KCRHA Director Retaliated Against Staffers Who Complained Kinnison laid off the two staffers, along with 11 others including the agency's chief financial officer, last year. publicola.com/2026/06/05/i...

what do you mean keith david is 70

I'm thinking maybe we should find a way to get that line to Ballard done.

I think we’re gonna find something worse than GME

I can't believe we have Ace Combatified Bass Pro Shop.

Crossing a Link level crossing and scaring passengers with my proclamation of “OOO LOOK A SHORTCUT”

Whiplash moment

you will likely never finish this

With more votes trickling in, there's a decent chance Spencer Pratt might not make the LA Mayoral runoff. Sadly, that might actually help him make the transition to full time conspiracy theory influencer - which is probably his most appealing future career path. www.patreon.com/posts/spence...

Convenient: Employer canceled bargaining sesson to ‘make substantive changes’ to the last proposal, I wonder if those will align with our new acronym!

”Attention employees, we have a new acronym to learn that will reflect our new vision, mission, and values” dear god we DID elect a startup guy 😭

We need a shorter form of describing a governance or societal organization structure that is basically: “All my needs subsidized, my contributions, nil”

A local independent union of restaurant workers voted unanimously to authorize a strike and is asking for donations to their strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/united-cre...

“We shouldn’t double the taxes for ten years but also not lower service but also we can’t get money from the state or the feds” oops guess we’re doubling that particular specific sales tax rate!

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Me: The guy behind spraying everything at Shenandoah Stables and Times Beach had a responsibility to know what he was hauling and spraying on peoples’ roads and quasi-public properties Response: But that’s the industry’s fault Me: He accepted the load, that’s on Him Too

Just had a guy at a gas station ask me why it’s like this, this morning

“We should be able to hit a pump or alarm reset button remotely from a control center rather than at a remote facility” hi are you high

“Actually nobody should have to tell you how to run your septic system” i‘m sorry, pollution does not respect property lines

At last, we’re building housing that won’t kill the orcas Clear-cut greenfield development outside city limits!

“I want to be a property owner but anything service-wise supplied to it, the government should pay for, for free” lol

“Happy Marvin Heemeyer day, I‘m a communist btw” no you’re not go pick up a book

“No it’s okay once we overthrow the ruling class the proletariat will prevent oppression” my god you’re activating my long latent anarchist

Most important way to start the day, also better with friends.

The death of a pro-social form of government or a government that is reliant on social trust will ultimately be dug by a continual deference in the discourse to “Why should *I* have to subsidize something I don’t *personally* use”

Graduating to “The sadist who locks all the parties (myself included) in the same room and says “We do not leave until we put the can in the bin rather than kicking it down the road for another year, and another year, and another year, and another ye-“

We’re really at this again Oppression will exist as a socio-governmental function of the enforcement of ideal societal guidelines, it really turns into a ‘what if they weren’t wearing the boot, but I was instead’ exercise, whether it’s enforced by government bodies or a society at large

raw water. not for drinking.

Bees onto SUV 🐝 Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Today we begin the official NLRB election for recognition of our union. We start with in person voting today followed by a period for remote workers to mail in ballots. We’re excited for every worker to have a chance to vote and look forward to the results in a couple weeks.

Why you make Zohran look like Dr. Hax

Took someone, the same person, thirty seconds to go from “why are you concerned about spending money on instrumentation you don’t trust” to “But think about the project cost in dollars”

The not being subpoenaed star Put this star in your timeline to let your buddies know you're not being subpoenaed

Slightly related to the last essay I reposted, here’s another one that really resonated with me by @alyazabirze.bsky.social regarding the neccessity of politicizing our blatantly political but afraid to admit it space alyaza.neocities.org/essays/fragm...

The United States government is currently fighting a war in Iran that it memed itself into while engaging mass detention and suppression of speech, but yeah, the illiberal left, obviously what's most politically salient right now

my latest writing, a short essay called "you are not a pundit" post-goldfish.ghost.io/you-are-not-...

I hate how “They’ll export lab-grown meat and dairy and stuff into our markets without telling us” is a conspiracy theory because that sounds badass actually

Ace Combat 4 moment

Sam Walton famously did everything he could to avoid paying taxes but would hand out small scholarships at local high schools whenever a new Walmart came to town. The data center people won't even do that.

“We told you not to drink raw milk and now look what you did” is the line I’m getting from this

Possibly the coolest local labor union name I’ve heard of to date, and for a good cause, they’re going on strike: www.gofundme.com/f/united-cre...
