While the Inland Northwest has historically managed dry summer conditions better than other regions due to its substantial aquifer system, water resource experts emphasize that even this underground reservoir has limitations.

"There is something disorienting, horrible, and somehow fitting in the timing of all of this. That one man with the means to do it would threaten destruction of a part of our planet at the same moment its beauty and fragility is on full display. "

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

This is from last week, but if you haven’t seen the images Washington State University researchers collected from grizzly bear collar cameras in the Arctic, you need to.

Simply thrilled I found a delicious eclair in Spokane. Not too sweet, a slightly salty tart cream filling (not custard), tempered chocolate on top. So good! Matreshka European Food & Deli.

I like short films, like I like poems. Perfectly a Strangeness is pure visual poetry.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

An Introvert’s Dream Day - Waking up naturally, no alarm - Slow morning with coffee or tea - Nothing on the calendar - Favorite cozy outfit - Time alone to recharge - Peace, quiet, and no small talk

So watched Tomorow and I (Black Mirror like dystopian near future Thai tv show Netflix) and holy moly - thought provoking and somewhat mind blowing. The last episode reminded me of some crazy cross between City of Ember, Idiocracy, and… Melancholia.

'Lead' and 'read' rhyme. Unless you're saying 'lead' and 'read.' But also 'lead' and 'read' rhyme.

While I'm a big fan of buying second hand thrifted clothes, I'm not a fan of smelling like someone elses perfume (or scented laundry detergent!🤢) all day.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The film adaptation of Denis Johnson’s novella, Train Dreams, reflects the beauty, and heartache, of working in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

The artificially intelligent hallucination is a fine phrase, synthesize it, sell it at a rave. Band name.

“No one really dies, they just drop their physical body, and we’ll all meet again, like the song says. It’s sad, but it’s not devastating if you think like that. It’s a continuum, and we’re all going to be fine at the end of the story.” ~ David Lynch - January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025 #filmsky

Amazing feeling when you realize at 1:30 on a Friday that this is a 3 day weekend. Extremely needed reprieve this week.

On this day one year ago, #DavidLynch left us for places wonderful and strange. Rest in Peace.

Train Dreams was beautiful. Highly recommend- I was in the mood for cathartic tears tonight anyway. Somehow I also totally missed Nick Cave did a song for it.

The world is dark and scary. But bright blue skies and snow flocked trees are still good for the soul.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

A must-see thread. Don't sleep on reading (or listening to) the ALT-Text.

godspeed you, perry, was a joy to see you again after so many years! you will be missed 🖤 #ripperrybamonte #thecure

Nearly 30 years of running CoF and never had a single person tell me anything bad about Perry. Only how kind, how generous, how helpful he was with everyone. When I tell you he was so loved, it's no exaggeration. So happy that he got that last run with The Cure. Rock on forever, Teddy!

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎶✨ 🎶…Laughing at the Christmas lights… And I'm thinking that it's Christmas… Come around at Christmas… You're the one that looks like Christmas… But Christmas falls late now…🎶 #TheCure #MusicSky 🎶🎧

A beautiful read for Christmas. Mary forever!

Oh dear, how awkward...the guy who coined the term "American Dream" gave the last word of his book to a young immigrant girl & said the main lesson of his day was that people who'd amassed great wealth were not "the wisest leader to follow nor the best fitted to propound a sane philosophy of life."

You know the weather has changed when it isn’t even cold enough to refrigerate Christmas cooking outside. I emphasize not as cold as a refrigerator. In Spokane. In December.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Well that was the weirdest targeted ad ever- video about PMDD (women’s health) with an ad for an app to monitor ovulation in farm animals? Wtf.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Assuming it the scene in It's A Wonderful Life where Potter offers George Bailey $20K a year, takes place in about 1932... That would be a salary of $472K today. When uncle Billy loses the $8K in 1945, that would be almost $144,000 today (all per some online inflation calculator).

Snoqualmie Falls is going CRAZY right now! Water levels are currently at 17.8 feet, the highest at the falls in 10 years! #wawx
