just wrapped a second read for book club. Still truly cannot recommend this enough

May I suggest pairing @briamgilbert.bsky.social ‘s pepcorn with a kewpie mayo dip; it’s exquisite.

If Sen. Chuck Shumer was just in Seattle, then I definitely just crossed him at the airport, security in-tow. If not, we’ll then now we know where the pod chucks are getting produced…

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

Thinking a lot about the Geth & Quarians, wonder why… Wait til folks remember the etymology of the word “robot”

Is taking smoke break alone just aura farming with a prop?

A Maserati dealership located in a highly urbanized pedestrian focused city core that gets to veto bus only lanes is the kind of forward thinking urban planning the Seattle city counsel and mayor highly value.

Eph-emera Abraham, is that anything?

ET-SY WIT-CHES 👏,👏,👏👏👏

Fun fact: GWAR spoke out against the defunding of orgs like PBS. Lead singer Mike Bishop, who holds a PhD in music, stopped in the middle of a show to point out that defunding public institutions is horrible and said it'd lead to worse. Dude was not wrong.

Removed from the Red Hot Chili Peppers show for repeatedly saying "ay Tone" in a Paulie Walnuts voice to Anthony Kiedis between songs.

Has anyone made a mashup of cotton-eye joe & me espresso? I think I’m onto something (horrible)

Why have I not seen one Seattle news outlet localize what the Jimmy Kimmel thing means on the local level? Because it means a lot. Sinclair - the company that did this to him - owns KOMO. And they're bowing to the FCC so they can merge with Nextstar/TEGNA, which just bought KING 5.

In general I'd recommend following your local trans/LGBTQ orgs. They know which are messaging bills and which are genuine threats

87-year-old Cecil Williams walked down the runway to "Neva Scared" during Actively Black and Spill's #NYFW show this weekend www.whatimreading.net/p/civil-righ...

Since DC has also elected to cancel her Red Hood series because they are also actual cowards, seems like a good time to plug her patreon as well as encourage you to buy one of her many excellent books — or buy an extra copy to gift to your friends and loved ones. www.patreon.com/scumbelievable

i'm kind of obsessed with this band from Singapore called Sobs. their 2022 album is so fucking good if u like Alvvays or similar bands. some of the catchiest hooks and most energetic performances i've heard in indie/power pop recently open.spotify.com/album/0KZcDN...

Florida is a beautiful state that has been taken over and destroyed by ghoulish death cult freaks with the support of retirees from out of state who would rather burn the world than pay any taxes. I will hate these people as long as I live.

what a weekend! Trans-coded Luigi & VHS 4eva.

‘When you’re late to catch a plane’ might be one of the worst times to daydream about the Final Destination movies My uber driver almost missed a turn & near-missed a median while I typed this Why thank you sound transit for making the light rail share right of way with cars. Great idea.

Just a reminder, since many people don't know about it: the "Popular with Friends" feed is pretty damn good at giving you a quick overview of what's happening. I know there are lots of complaints about "Discover" and PwF is often better for me...

OK this one got me because it's true. I used to layer the new quarterly sticker over the old one(s) like car tabs.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

…and then Lindsay switched her phone to airplane mode, set up Bluey on her laptop, and enjoyed a totally normal day with her kid(s), free of online chuds.

Just noticed @byopband.bsky.social are on this tour but not Seattle; wish I could see this song live youtu.be/4C_kJ6qDBMM?...

@nekocatcafe.bsky.social heard Mickey is retiring from Capitol Hill; here are some pics from her rookie year (c. November 2021)

"Gavin Newsom is America's Keir Starmer" is perhaps the most devastating thing that has ever been or could ever be said about an American.

Today was graduation day for some grey denim; didn't bleed on the jeans! youtu.be/Sx3ORAO1Y6s?...

Expectations vs. Reality, my ponytail edition

Do you want to read an incredible horror film? This is one of the most satisfying & cinematic books I’ve ever read. @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a tone-crafting expert. She painted a picture of the KY-slathered practical effects directly onto my mind’s eye. She has such sights to show you.

This is the guy

idk but my fingers are going in those holes

Gross.

Attempting to introduce myself with 15 movies... (no particular order, not ranked) 1. Speed Racer 2. The Matrix Resurrections 3. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 4. End of Evangelion 5. Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 6. V for Vendetta 7. A Serious Man 8. Casablanca 9. Men in Black continued in comments

rip & tear

It took two fires & their water damage to kill Vito’s, RIP. I hope & believe Barbara their taxidermized cougar lives on in an anarchist enclave somewhere.

I don't get how the city could negotiate with people with this history, who organized a combative prayer rally and concert in a gay neighborhood to piss off that gay neighborhood, and not expect to get ratfucked. These people are messy bitches who live for drama. That is their whole thing.

the real, material violence of the rich is hidden behind rules and institutions. the disenfranchised are not permitted even to dream of evening the score.

Thank you to The Good Place for the newly installed Janet on my shoulder

Gretchen's account is suspended again so retweeting my official review, clanging my gong, and shouting 'GO BUY BLACK FLAME'

WTF they banned Gretchen Felker-Martin here again!

We’re living (about to, anyway) (Yes I know that’s not what the title means)

The Seattle Mayor has canceled our Tiny House Village in Brighton and winter is nearly here! Sign our petition to Save the Brighton Village and help us shelter homeless folks now! actionnetwork.org/petitions/save-the-brighton-tiny-house-village/

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

can't agree more. more print, local print, traditional publishers, self-made, all of it.

Wind up & hurl a geoduck like a bola, or wield like nunchaku at close-quarters.
