whew. not quite time to switch out of the winter riding gloves yet. still pretty chilly once the sun goes down.

this is very cool

damn I gotta transition harder. Just got recognized by someone from high school for the first time. no I'm not that guy. I hate that bitch.

they got whole ass softball teams meeting at 10 pm on a Tuesday up here. that's a nightlife.

For another, neither you nor the person you're arguing with, live in a country with a Left political party, an institutional means of actually implementing any of your politics The means to actually implement your politics was beaten to death in an alley before either of your grandparents were born

drawing while watching nasa stream LOL

Watch your words folks. Seriously.

ah shit, didn't realize I was doing a crime on my trip. btw here's the view on the other side of the park along aforementioned Michigan ave

holy shit. so I had some time to try and fix my computer again. I completely forgot that if you have a GPU you need to hook up your display to THAT output port instead of the default one hooked to the CPU/Motherboard. the entire time I've been plugging into the wrong slot and now it works🤦

becoming an architect to leave a thermal exhaust port two meters wide in all my projects

my friend went to the Mariners game and legit told me a story about corruption around the ferry tray lmao. we can expect a black market to pop up accordingly

I generally feel pretty good about getting older but one of my regrets is I'm throwing away my best Capitol Hill years living in sleepy old Ballard. I've got a lot of friends in that area that I wanna move closer to some day, but by then I'll be too tired to go out late and will wish I never left!

it's bad that we've reached the point of being wistful for rich people who actually seem to... enjoy life and the things that make them money. you look at a guy like Zaslav torching WB and it's like you were sent from hell to torture us weren't you.

I was makin fun of James but now I'm thinking, if I'm lucky I'll live to see part of some ST5 or maybe 6.

I hope it's not my u of Washingto-oooh it's my u of Washington 🤦

I did a lot of Link travel today, took some rare mid day trips. even those were very busy. Seattle's a real city!!

seeing an attractive person at the light rail: 😀 they stand in everyone's way on the left of the escalator: 😔

there is a certain pathetic quality to this

thought I had done a disc brake pad replacement enough times for it to be routine but here I am once again without my commuter. it must feel really good to leak hydraulic fluid everywhere if you're a bike

here's my flawless solution. every position is for life (unless you get recalled, the standards for which will be lowered slightly). but every time there is an election, the winner is simply added to the body, which grows. no size limit. "50 yrs ago 100 senators was a lot, but yknow, inflation"

IF MY CONSTITUENTS GET MAD AT ME FOR NY VOTE IT'S BECAUSE OF CANCEL CULTURE

need a damn children's liberation movement. the Grand Old Pedophiles have made it so clear that children are objects that you should be able to do whatever you want with and now that explicitly includes torture. none of us are free until the kids are free.

"I think there are people in vulnerable communities who want THEIR story to be told..." the way he frames that like it's dishonest manipulation. like we're not humans. who are worthy of having our voices heard.

while I was at home for a week being sick they eliminated my daily commute routes! Oh sorry I meant commute ROOTS. they smoothed over a ton of roots I avoid every day on the burke gilman and it's awesome. which department manages the trail? they're doing some good work.

Not to be a bitter leftist but once you learn about operation gladio and COINTELPRO you kind of stop believing in any sort of functional democracy. Even when a group of people coordinates and start working to spread ideas in a way that would change things the feds just fucking kill them

being a mid politician in a great state is a wonderful gig. get all sorts of credit for the hard work of the community, despite your best efforts to hamper them

funnily enough I've been to the two smaller libraries but not the main Bellevue branch. want to go see that maker space!!

they're called old fashioned donuts cuz they should've been left in the past. nasty things.

so how do I learn baseball. I'm gonna go maybe next week but I'm still in the "idk it's just nice to be outside with a drink" stage and I would like to be able to appreciate the game at least one level higher than that

NEW STORY// Washington's E-bike Rebate Program Reopens for Applications March 30 By Ryan Packer via @theurbanist.org

I've got no idea what to eat, I've spent the last hour getting worked up about that bike lane hearing and my cat is still sleeping on my lap. someone send in the rescue copter with some food.

I can't quite put my finger on all of it yet but there's got to be a way to get some better community dialogue than just these community hearings - even idealized ones (we can do those hearings a lot better but that's not the whole issue).

I think Trump has already proved he is willing to send federal troops in regardless of the pretext. Kind of how the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened, right? Why do we keep saying "we can't do X because Y might happen" Y will happen anyway. We wont ever do anything with this thinking.

an oft under-looked rebuttal to this is just how many homeless people bike. probably not a majority or anything but it's a lot. about as far away from the "wealthy lyrca racer" stereotype as you can get. not that I expect most of these self-centered folks to give a shit about homeless people either

wow I actually finished a thing in the hour I said it would take. that was with going through government applications and everything. have to finish some more stuff tomorrow but it's nice to temporarily have one little thing off my plate.

nyc saving millions by getting rid of outside contractors / consultants

I was thinking about the extensive lost and found system I've seen in big Japanese cities, and then I started thinking about public bathrooms, and then all sorts of tiny other, what I'll call "micro services", and came up with this little kiosk idea.

Mr president the only way to save your approval ratings is to force all the car companies into producing electric kei cars I guarantee this will work

it's never too late! I'm finally gonna go and get that dishonorable discharge I've always wanted

being a senator just absolutely cooks you brain, huh? even when a senator does something obviously good and correct, they love putting out a statement clarifying that it is NOT a principled stand and they are NOT demonstrating any moral leadership so PLEASE do not get the wrong idea

damn I was supposed to be there today but I'm sick 😭

I'm not sure if Apple does any better but I feel like a large reason for vertical video rise is the fact android never fuckin figured out how to handle swapping from vertical to horizontal conveniently.

oh great. Just what milk lovers need, more great PR.

when someone else in a good suit shows up to the bar

what is the quintissential Seattle bus color? I think it's gotta be green.

men are too insecure for labubu they need lakiki

wild what you can get paid to spew in this city

guy with his arm around a man and woman at this bar... I'll get there some day... got a compliment from one man and one woman on my outfit so far
