Is Russell Wilson coming back home to Seattle? End his career here, reunion with Schotty?

I’m watching #bbcqt special edition on Ukraine. The American on the panel is not a good representative of the US. I’m embarrassed about her performance.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Harrell may have just lost my vote. www.nytimes.com/athletic/614... Seattle mayor teases Sonics return during State of City address before saying: ‘I’m just kidding’

I don’t think the NBA is ever coming back to Seattle. They are going to us as a cautionary tale to force other cities to build new facilities. Seattle is a good market - but if they actually cared about that why would they have a team in OKC. www.seattletimes.com/sports/sonic...

Was he serious? He says a lot of shit. I can’t believe he suggested we take over Gaza. That and Greenland, Panama Canal - is he attempting to find a Louisiana purchase? I don’t even know what to say…. What is happening….

not only is this tariff standoff going to cripple the U.S. economy and make enemies with our neighbors but it is also deeply, deeply embarrassing. absolute loser shit.

I'll show you the study!

Wondering where I complain to the Port of Seattle regarding clear monopolizing all of the security lines.

This is really cool. www.worldsportsphotographyawards.com/winners-and-...

Few places bring me more joy than Mount Bachelor. I’m happy a group of locals is trying to buy it and save its soul. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

My mother was a proud Episcopalian. She would’ve be very proud that an Episcopalian bishop gave that sermon. Very proud.

Anyone know what started the fight in the Tacoma Stars game? It looks like a Milwaukee coach kicks it off.

The Sounders made a good move in trading for Jesus Ferreira - he will be good for them. Complete the Arriola trade… It’s not splashy, but it’s solid. It adds more offensive fire power to a team with the best defense in the league. Everyone likes goals, this will bring us more goals.

Ever notice when you go to check out for tickets to a Vikings game or a Taylor Swift concert, the price you pay is so much higher than advertised? Mysterious fees from online sellers continue to make tickets more expensive.   Starting January 1, we’re banning those junk fees.

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

Sources say the Mariner’s ownership group is contemplating setting up a go fund me for a 3B. The plan would be for fans to offer money while getting above average MLB play at 3B. Plus the fans will have the joy of being a member of the ownership group for 3B only.

Somebody needs to lock Mike Elias and Jerry Dipoto in a room together and only let them out when the Mariners and Orioles both have pitchers and hitters.

In a corresponding move the Mariners have re-signed veteran infielder Yuniesky Betancourt to compete for a spot in the infield alongside Abraham Toro. Betancourt, known for his defensive skills and experience, will battle Toro for the starting second base role.

Seattle Mariners are thrilled to announce the return of Felix Hernandez on a one-year contract. The Hall of Fame hopeful aims to bolster his legacy while helping the Mariners compete. Felix, a Cy Young winner and six-time All-Star, reclaims the mound to finish his career on his terms.

In an effort to be the first player since Jamie Moyer to play in his 20’s,30’s,40’s and now 50’s Ichiro Suzuki signs with the Mariners to be their designated hitter for the 2025 season. Ichiro will be paid the league minimum and intends to play the entire season.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. No, I’m sure, you can’t have him. He’s ours. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/mari...

Holy shit! Assad has fled and the rebels have Damascus. I’m worried Syria will struggle like Libya did. Holy shit.

Started watching MLS Cup on Apple TV - switched to Fox - I like Stu Holden - switching back to Apple TV. If I have a choice I don’t want to watch a network that employs Alexi Lallas.

Galaxy are taking them apart.

These are pretty wild kickoff times. Basically all lined up to be at 9pm in the local market if visiting team.

Modest Mouse used to play Tundra/Desert at the end of each show. It was the perfect way to end a show. It appears they haven’t played it live since 2001. What happened?

I’m fundamentally amazed at the speed at which the rebels are taking Syria. Years of stagnation and now it appears that they’ve surrounded Damascus and the government is assuring people Assad hasn’t fled. Wow.

The question of the day —Should I go skiing tomorrow? Crystal is reporting “rain slushie snow” today. That sounds terrible. Current temps are 39 and snowing at the summit. It’s supposed to Snow? For the next 6 hours or so. I’m not sure that’s the type of powder I want to ski.

Can Biden just proactively run FBI background checks on these nominees?

Dempsey gets a red for that. #Sounders
