Don't let the geoducks be the only one getting a raise - support The Needling today!

The more I look at this post from her the more I see how little even a little bit of it makes sense. She's villainizing the sea lion for eating an endangered species because we're the ones who should be eating the endangered species?

I hate how hungry this image makes me. Geoduck is so good.

Well, well, well…

“How did we know? Look, we just knew,” said NOAA scientist Dr. Sheila Bradford as she stood on a shoreline full of erect geoducks bursting out of the sand.

"The complaint gets at the heart of an ongoing frustration in Seattle City Hall: That the city’s primary solution to police violence coming out of 2020 has been exceedingly slow out of the gate and kneecapped in backroom deals with a protectionist officers’ union."

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

Holy Portlandia! '“We’ve got one,” said Wilson, turning his all-electric F-150 Lightning onto Northeast 104th Avenue. The mayor stepped out of the white pickup truck, snapped a photo with his iPhone and then dictated a voice-activated email to the head of the city’s parking enforcement division."

HEY SEATTLE did you know that 4 mega corps are currently courting Seattle City Light with data center proposals? Sabey, Prologis, Equinix and another unnamed real estate developer are in talks with our local power company to decide if they can build new centers here.

But it's cool, pls keep putting in more data centers. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

"Developers have typically built them where land and electricity are cheap, often away from urban areas. But they’ve run out of power in many places, making access to electricity the main bottleneck, according to industry experts."

WA Democrats ended a tax break for data centers but they're still woefully behind this curve, they killed a bill designed to regulate data centers last month thanks to big tech lobbyists from MSFT & AMZ

Joel Connelly was a mensch. We didn't always agree—in fact we disagreed a lot—but he always showed up and he always engaged and I'll always appreciate the respect he showed bloggers like me even when criticizing us. He was an encyclopedia of WA state political lore. He will be missed.

I cannot think of a quicker way to enshittify AI than to train it on my emails.

I’ve reached out to Kennedy directly to ask…but in the meantime, I’ve learned they have a gofundme up for the family. Please support them. www.gofundme.com/f/9wup9u-hel...

“God, how do humans even produce this much shit?” said one goose as it gagged at a forgotten camo truck hat with some dumb band name on it before almost stepping on a wireless earbud. “Their droppings are everywhere!”

“According to our observations over the past 24 hours, the vast majority of species on earth have pretty much just been holding steady and staying the course, gene-wise,” said biologist Clarice Abernathy

"A picture of a mid-April dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln, shared by a service member with his family, was similarly unappetizing – a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a gray slab of processed meat."

Funny outcome here. Now the trains cannot be replaced by similar looking ones that operate better. Instead we have to keep these Frankenstiens patched together with custom maintenance at higher cost since the company went out of business decades ago. Their life expectancy expired in 2002
