Hi, I’m the SUV whose brakes locked up directly in front of us on the highway, forcing me to swerve into a ditch to miss it by inches, on the last day of my honeymoon in New Zealand

*looking at the runtime* Whoa more like one battle after another after ANOTHER am I rite

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

It’s worth saying out loud that this is Nazi propaganda. They’re not winking and nodding. It’s pure unadulterated lebensraum.

Just checked with the experts and the Space Needle has not disappeared. It really is still there. Happy New Year! (Yes. We said the same thing in 2024)

Katie Wilson is now Seattle’s mayor. What a wonderful sentence to type!

I HAVE to know what that looked like from Gasworks

My favorite NYE tradition: watching the cloud of smoke obscuring the space needle light up different colors

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Resisting him almost always works, trying to bargain with him never ever works

And Tiny Gawain who did NOT die

The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

100% on both of these posts, and I would add the converse: for men, yall need to do some flexibility training. My oldest rowers are seldom the ones who lifted the most or did the most cardio (although they did a lot of both), but the ones who kept up their joint mobility and stability

lol the @uspostal.bsky.social agent helping to get me into my account gave me a solution that didn't work, but when I told him it didn't work he just ended the chat and now I can't get back on it. buddy I'm just trying to get a christmas gift delivered it's been lost since December 7th!

Reading this title in the cadence of the AJJ song “Rejoice”

Baby’s first @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov ride!

“How did our society create such monsters?” is a good question that can in fact be answered while the monsters are being punished.

There’s been a turn in a lot of left/liberal moral thought over the past decade away from individual culpability and toward analyses of structural forces that generate bad behavior. But I’m increasingly convinced that those structural forces can’t be confronted while individuals enjoy impunity.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story

“The Only Cybertruck in All of Uganda” is the title of a MASSIVE Best of the Net snub, I am sure of it

“I gave my life to Christ in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel” is a lyric in a mountain goats song called something like “Dost Though Remember Mighty Aeneas?” and while the rest of the song is just about wrestling, it’s the saddest thing you’ve ever listened to

Gandalf: “It is in men that we must place our hope” Elrond: “Really, men? Couldn’t we trust literally anyone else?”

The Trump admin is gearing up to use AI to delay and deny Medicare benefits for seniors. This is outrageous and should be a national scandal. We’re talking about a backdoor effort to privatize Traditional Medicare and cut benefits. I introduced legislation to stop it.

To be clear, this is almost as many as the Ford Pinto, about which the term “death trap” was coined. So,

I remember all the times I was told that (analog) books would quickly become obsolete, that I would be out of a job, that everyone should just give in and buy a Kindle. Yeah, about that: didn't happen, probably won't happen any time soon. Sorry.

Thumpity thump thump

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Gattaca but he’s covering up the soap-cilantro gene

And also if I didn’t have to go to the archives, I wouldn’t get to bear witness to the incomprehensible beauty of human history!

Bing Crosby figgy pudding-related hostage situation

Until accountability occurs, this organization is not worth supporting. Honestly, this happens over and over, people get thankful that a bad thing got rescinded or amended and nothing actually changes. This is not a professional organization, full stop.

I’m just saying there’s no way Barack Obama has ever listened to the Beths

I could see myself voting for someone who campaigns on “I will burn the current White House to the ground and salt the earth where it stood”

To increase profits airports have turned themselves into malls so travelers will arrive well before their stated departure time. A consequence of that is people who can walk 10 minutes but not 45. Add in increased disability with Covid and you get this. But sure frame it as a "problem"

My guy she’s an architecture critic writing in the NY Review of Architecture, writing about what buildings should look like is quite literally her job

Local Doctors Reassure Public Rick Steves Still Doing Just Fine: tinyurl.com/3hdrjutf

every single person who has ever opposed any element of trans rights - from the Republican fash who want us completely annihilated to the Democratic-voting men and women who think there are "legitimate questions" about trans people in sports - have our blood on their hands. I will never forget.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

It’s always funny to me when people are like “back in the 1800s they used to give you heroin at the doctor’s office!” But like yeah man, they only reason they don’t anymore is because they have newer, better heroins!

Can Trump’s EPA pay me 86.5 million to not work for months?

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important. An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

$901 BILLION. that's our taxes. we could have universal healthcare and childcare, universal basic income, but we get to fund Trump's gestapo and his illegal unconstitutional "wars" instead.
