Siemens built some of the trains in Seattle's Link light rail system. Siemens built the first mobile phone I bought, in 2003. Corporate conglomerates are wild.

I shouldn't join this debate. My window of eligibility opened a few years earlier (tho not early enough to make me Gen X). But more importantly, I've always been shit at zeitgeist-reading and preferential to slightly weirder stuff. So my non-answer would be, like, "Song 2" by Blur. Don't @ me.

Found my cactus alter ego at the nursery Old man cactus

you mess with the bull you get the horns. you mess with the goat you get the woodwinds. the horse has the string section and the rabbit is on percussion

Juuuuust a bit outside

I tried three fairly fundamental software tasks today (connect to a printer, validate identity, send a portal message), on three apps from three different companies, and got three failures. It's hard not to throw up your hands and shout "enshittification!" with that kind of perfection

Inside of you there are two wolves. The other one is just out of frame, laughing too.

Two wins in a row for the Mariners? We're going streaking!

I like Murakami. Kelenic will always be a memorable player for me. But this weekend, I'm picking the veteran Andrew Benintendi. The former first rounder has been around long enough to do some things, and he has a pretty nice name

Luke "Don't call it a fluke" Raley

Rick Rizzs, of Kelenic, said that he's got the talent so he's going to be a heckuva ballplayer "when he figures it all out," as I stare in longtime Mariner fan

If your bad mood is highly contagious, you may be suffering from toxic blah-sitivity

Just slap a hazmat label on the postage, and you're good to go, right

OK, Mitch Garver, you just keep drawing walks when JP is batting behind you.

Ohtani getting Felixed on this Dodgers team is hilarious

Only foods rush in

“Not for rinsing or washing,” they said. (Seen at Union Station.)

I have recently (finally) been watching 3 Body Problem, and everything is starting to click. For the past 4 months, my life has been in a Chaotic Era.

The beast, at rest with her prey

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

I added thoughts in a thread on the quoted post after sitting with this a few hours. TL;DR: headline framing implicitly endorses RFK Jr.'s agenda against SSRIs as addictive, while article is more nuanced. But it still portrays this entire class of meds and their use in an irresponsible, clumsy way.

This giveaway contest for tix and airfare to see King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard in NYC is extremely Andrew-coded www.kexp.org/kinggizzard-...

This is a bad headline. From someone who used to write 'em there.

Oh yay he's coming back to the AL West. My favorite 😒

Letting my doctor know I plan to use an ABS challenge against my upcoming lipid panel if I don't like the results

The Atlanta leadoff man hits a home run against Logan Gilbert, proving that some pro athletes named Drake actually *can* compete against Seattle sports franchises in the year 2026

Wait, am I... a fan of prog? This column, with its expansive ideas of what fits under "prog", suggests yes. daily.bandcamp.com/prog-state-m...

Anyone know of a good cryptkeeper? I was suspicious of mine after so little work was getting done so i set up a hidden camera and half the time he's just sitting there telling stories

Randy Arozarena is now 0-11 against Seth Lugo in his career www.sports-reference.com/stathead/bas...

Congratulations to Randy Johnson, the Big Unit, on his Seattle Mariners number retirement. I was lucky to be there for his historic first no-hitter and will never forget the electric Kingdome atmosphere when he finished it. Pure euphoria as we all descended those exterior ramps to the parking lots.

Oh, I like this. Do I actually know ball, or only jokes? We'll see! * Naylor steals a base * Lugo limits the big Mariners bats to 3 hits but JP gets on base at least twice * Hoppe gives up a HR

Sometimes I wonder if Duolingo is profiling me as a middle aged dad. (I am not so close-minded about attire!)

He seems a little underdressed

If you're Hoppe and you know it, hang a 0

(whispers) The Etsy witch. She's here. Right now. On the Bluesky timeline. Isn't she?

Juu-lii-OOOOOOOOOO

L, and I can't stress this enough, OL

So the Mariners CAN make outs in the field. Nice.

Someone order a dinger?

My #MLBPlayerRespect also goes to Mr. Salvador Perez, and I can't explain it any better than Matt does. Salvy is not off to the hottest start in 2026, and while I wish him some positive regression, he's welcome to delay that for at least three games.

What do I, a Mariners guy, need to know about the 2026 Kansas City "Lorde" Royals before this series? Wrong answers encouraged but not required

Liz Lemon, you should come to the Knicks game with me and this skinny French dude Tommy Chameleon.

If you're into scuzzy, riff-sodden psych rock jams, have I got a new record for you from John Dwyer, frontman of Osees. (Also it's Bandcamp Friday) johndwyer.bandcamp.com/album/heathe...

as an avid reader of corrections, I am unlikely to recover from “sits peeing down”

Good morning. The Seattle Mariners have reached .500 with a 16-16 record and we are v excited about this because it is 1993 all over again.
