Was just a witness to a car crash on 4th Ave, where a driver blew through the red light at Holgate using the bus lane and then crashed into a car turning right into a business. The driver then got out and blamed "the new bus lanes" for confusing them as well as the driver who was turning.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

You can watch here:

She Tracked Fish That Coastal Communities Depend On. Then She Was Fired From NOAA.

“There is no aspect of my life that is not motivated by absolute terror. That propelled almost every decision. It propels many decisions at this company.” “I wake up every morning and think ‘I’m fucked.’” This is what tech leaders say on the record. These are not stable geniuses.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

You kill someone with your car and it's clearly your fault, you lose your license and car. Temporarily at a minimum.

10/10 post.

Many things can be true at the same time. 1. People who are not neurotypical deserve full lives 2. Being atypical has pluses and minuses 3. If a leader displays atypical behavior, it is TOTALLY FAIR to question their fitness for leadership 4. Good at earning money ≠ good at leading societal change

FIFA has ruined the World Cup. It's time to blow it up and start over. Not hyperbole. This organization is beyond parody and beyond corrupt.

Florida's economy would crater if the true facts of climate risk were part of every home sale. So they'll never do it. Hope buyers wise up before too many more life-savings are drowned and washed away.

Everyone knows what's happening and it's bullshit. Cut this shit out and block all congress people from trading stocks.

Imagine a city that makes flats like this illegal to build in the majority of the city, and allows them mostly on the most car choked, polluted, loud streets. Then imagine thousands of people in that same city saying there's nothing that can really be done about housing affordability or quality.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change. Streets for people are good for business.

Reading about the sad end of Columbia City Funeral Home and realizing the owners’ comment is literally a fill-in-the-blank for Seattle We warped supply and demand for generations with exclusionary zoning and now this is broadly true for hundreds of businesses in Seattle.

@jrock08.bsky.social - imagine rollin up to Seattle street fixers with one of these!

Get outside kids, enjoy the fresh air with your friends! Just kidding, stay the F inside.

Amazing story, state legislator and Turning Points USA leader who crusaded against bogus voter fraud claims pleads guilty to attempted election fraud. azmirror.com/briefs/turni...

We are all the product and they don't give a shit about us unless we are paying them or giving away our attention and lives so they can get paid.

Sometimes when I’m just moving through my neighborhood, I notice the level of every day destruction that cars cause that we just accept as normal. Bent fence posts, knocked over signs, curbs crumbling because they’ve been repeatedly run over…

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It is exceptionally important that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social end up with a highly competent, effective, and mission-focused team in key areas of city government. There will be very difficult revenue and tax-related decisions that need to be made to make her agenda work.

Costco by cargo bike is not only possible, it’s easier because I park right at the front door every time. Imagine Costco without the parking lot. Yeah. It’s like that every single time.

you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

There is not 1 zone in Seattle where these are legal to build. Either because it doesn’t have setbacks, or it has too much floor area (FAR). Our zoning codes suck

As a man, I'm done watching fragile-ass men control the definition of manliness. If you think manliness is somehow damaged by women doing jobs, saying what they think, or holding powerful positions, then your manliness is fragile, weak, and pathetic. That's not real manliness.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

A cabbage farm in upstate NY. Cabbage is one of the hardest crops to pick. Huge crates are pulled by a tractor, workers have to rush to keep up and fill them. Picking cabbage requires long hours of bending over and cutting the plant and is done in all sorts of weather. #WeFeedYou

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

“What are we gonna do?” “The same thing we always do. We’re going to say that crime is up 834%”

This is the modern right wing, globally. This is their playbook, everywhere.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

While this project went fast, it should not take 400 days to get a land use permit approved. This process should be 90 or 120 days max.

Reminder that everything we love to blame the government for usually boils down to a private company, citizen, or other person/thing doing something stupid, illegal, and/or unethical. This time - some truck driver was poorly equipped, poorly trained, or negligent and now we all pay for it.

I’ve been in startups. Sometimes during super fast growth it seems someone new is hired every hour. The company is just throwing warm bodies at problems. And one day you meet some new hire and your like “are we even screening these people anymore?” That just came to mind for some reason.

The president is not well. Senile, fragile, brittle, and lashing out like an angry 5th grader.

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

Billionaires are billionaires because they prioritized their own, personal accumulation of wealth over EVERY OTHER THING IN THEIR LIVES. They don’t care about relationships, your country, your community, your family. They only care about money. That’s how they became billionaires.

Brady Disclosure - when a cop has been proven to have lied in official documents or testimony in the past, attorneys have to disclose that. This is yet another cop that is a liability in court because he's a proven liar.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

SDOT says that Columbia City doesn't have enough parking so we have to create more paid parking on a few streets which are currently part of the RPZ zone, but the offstreet paid parking we have isn't filling up.

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

My teenage son just told me that all of American Politics right now just "seems like a more complicated version of The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuss. I can find no gaps in this analysis. 10/10 endorse.

It’s way more than just biking- this is the exact same thing as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social or Katie Wilson on a bus. People who put their actual bodies in the city instead of driving past it in a sealed box understand the city better.
