Tens of thousands of people are killed every year in the US by cars. Maybe 3 pedestrians a year are killed by bikes (E or otherwise)? If you drive a car and have ANY complaints about "the bike menace", you're just incredibly stupid. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Close the gate to The Enchantments! Without sufficient rangers, every weekend more and more of this incredible place is being destroyed. Great article by @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Gregory Scruggs. www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoor...

I was recently in Brazil visiting friends with my son. Mostly in the state of Mato Grosso near the Paraguayan boarder and in São Paulo—both in the city and on the coast. Haven't been been to Brazil for way, way too long.

You can frame it however you'd like...but tomorrow will still be ‪@seantroversy.bsky.social's‬ birthday.

The sheer # of photos I have of Abby and the kids in a pile: eating, sleeping, reading, laughing is astounding. Happy Mother's Day!

This was super fun. Thanks Tim and Elliot Bay!

Good story. Cool science. Awesome culture! "The practice is dying out, most of those diving in the 50-degree waters today are in their 60s, 70s and 80s." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Particularly good after reading "Funny Because It's True."

I will be interviewing Christine Wenc Elliot Bay Books on Tuesday night at 7. We'll talk about her critically acclaimed, new book, FUNNY BECAUSE IT’S TRUE: How The Onion Created Modern American News Satire. The book is great and Christine is amazing to talk with. www.elliottbaybook.com/events/45880

Hurry up and laugh before reality catches up with the satire.

This week I visited two great rocks—one in LA and the other in DC.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I was on a flight today & missed the protests. I'm not a giant protest person but I would've gone. Anyway, the turbulence & drops were so intense that people were screaming, a woman sitting near me was praying. After thinking about my kids I thought: "Should've stayed home and gone to the protest."

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Trump Says He Won’t Rule Out Third Reich

Hole in the wall.

Trump is sending her to her death.

Detention of student visa and Green Card holders paves the way for denaturalization and deportation/incarceration of citizens not born here (there are 24 million of us).

I asked some fucking AI program to render a short of me eating cake in the style of Studio Ghibli. I have to say it's pretty impressive.

Late snow in the mountains is a fucking blessing.

I will be interviewing Christine Wenc, author of The Onion book, "Funny Because it's True" May 6—Elliot Bay Books. Christine and I worked together at the Onion and were friends and roommates when the paper started. Now she's written the definitive history of the pub. She's a blast and I can't wait.

The new Onion book, "Funny Because It's True," by @clearwing3.bsky.social is out and is getting a ton of attention! It has received great reviews by pretty much everyone. Grateful that Christine wrote so much in the book about my mom, the incredible journalist, Janet Keck. Dig the Onion? Get it.

Jesus. Completely shameful. Our country will forever carry with it the stink of that moment. And it's only going to get worse.

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

The mountain before the storm.

the view from london:

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Peak moody-Seattle last night.

Hey, how was your hike? I really liked that part where I experienced the heat death of the universe.

Wait, Musk's kid is Alia Atreides?

Here's my "meet cute" romcom pitch: every election cycle at the last possible minute "Tanaka" played by Alan Alda and "Ximena" played by Sydney Sweeney drop their ballots off at the same drop-off box at the exact same time. Years go by—Tanaka played by Alan Alda dies in a memory-care unit.

I can't get over how well this line's up.

It's not mass deportation. Its the illusion of mass deportation. Nearly 13,000 archived ICE press releases--some from decades ago--were timestamped to 24 January 2025, so that they now appear at the top of Google search results as recent headlines.

Vimeo canceled HUMP! Film Fest’s account over our very PG teaser video for the 2025 festival! 😢 You can watch it on humpfilmfest.com. And while you’re there, get tickets to this year’s shows! It all kicks off next weekend in SF, SEA, & PDX! See you soon!

I love Seattle in the snow.

This is so good.
