US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

Diesel $5.19 a gallon and Unleaded ~$4.35 At Shree’s in South Seattle huh!

I don’t think it is a terribly hot take, but one begins to understand the resilience of “the blob” when one encounters the stuff that is not “the blob.“

If Tropico 7 doesn't have the US trying to directly overthrow me on a whim/for funsies as a plot point I don't want it

Me applying for State internships in 2012-2016 despite doing area studies and taking at least one language while leaving another ready-to-learn: *ghosted* Brett fucking McGurk, Meanwhile:

the fact that McGurk keeps getting put on CNN and Colbert (along with Petraeus!) despite not actually understanding the area

This scathing article in New Lines is a pretty good summation of McGurk and his rotten legacy. “Brett only meets people who speak English. … There are like four people in the government who speak English. And somehow he’s now the person who should decide the fate of Iraq? How did this happen?”

Can confirm I fill this role but also it is Not Fun To Be Correct :(

Starting to think that every government and every military should have to employ at least one highly-ranked advisor with an catastrophizing anxiety disorder

Out: 🔞 In: “Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can’t work with minors rn. Kinda sad tbh”

God damn I love this city

Battlestar Galactica roleplay that takes place onboard a decommissioned naval vessel (again,) but for a week and that wakes you up every 33 minutes during a portion of said week

Yeah, you’ll see astartes…on propaganda posters. There are no astartes, no natural light, and the bare minimum amount of toilets and showers we can get away with legally. Welcome to the underhive, pit-scum. Yes, that smell is intentional.

Other deranged billionaire thing I would do is taking that Star Wars roleplay hotel that Disney had that and implement it in fictional setting where it would be totally inappropriate. $5k for a two night lore accurate immersive warhammer underhive experience.

Gas/sales tax heavy state here: Wait you guys think $4 is apocalyptic?

… build local??? With what shipyards???

Gas/sales tax heavy state here: Wait you guys think $4 is apocalyptic?

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

Trump and post-Trump politics will be a mix of populist vibes and material conditions (utterly detached from anything politicians actually *do* for the most part)

This is also a recurring theme if you follow @dieworkwear.bsky.social: people say they want quality, people say they want Made in America, but then people don't actually do this when they click checkout

Really not liking this DEA-enforced non-consentual omorashi for taking a piss test for ADHD meds

Everyone’s mad about Proton! Let’s go through the chain of events, as I understand it, that led to disclosure of identifying information associated with a Proton account being disclosed to the FBI.

Going to pivot off of this very smart post to emphasize of the downsides to anthropomorphizing LLMs. Every instance of Claude is stateless and has no internal drives, instead of a single unified person. Which matters because people keep "asking Claude" why "it" did something and "it" didn't.

the League of Extraordinary Florida Men will be responsible for finding, and rounding up John Lasseter and other assorted weirdos and dbags that are ruining it for everyone

We should never ever forget why they did it

good. big ass truck abundance is climate arson.

If I go to France is it called Monsieur Pibb

This story is a great example of the type of work small outlets can do because they aren't chasing clickbait. The attention economy has encouraged journalists for decades to do shallow work, but it's the time-consuming stuff that reveals the truth and holds bad actors accountable.

If you read the court filing, the agency is not saying they won't do the refunds - they're saying they don't have the staff or the systems to do it on the court's timeline. Which I believe. This is a failure of political leadership, because they have put the agency in an impossible position.

feeling cute might try to do an Ikko-Ikki Shogun 2 run

Good thing an agency called Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a lot of money allocated to it

lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit

REPRESENNNNNNNNNNNNNNT

cost of living bad but i crave my psychic wage of watching those *MENA-related slur* *Sub-Saharan-Africa-related-slur* Commie *Latin America-related-slur* getting shown that DADDY IS BACK AND WE WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

you can't tell me what to buy or what to throw away where but that RV lot down the road? I'm gonna sit outside it with a camera like a PI scrutinizing everyone who dares step outside with a bottle, is that water? No, that's vodka, that's definitely vodka, time to call and complain

not to mention the fact that it is also media illiterate! mixing images of heroes and villains, and "flawless victory" is what you get when you suffer no damage, it's been less than a week and US soldiers have already died, i hate being dragged to this level by their communications
