A man with Coprolaliac Tourette’s Syndrome (award-nominated for a film about his disorder) yelling the N-word at Black actors on stage, is an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. A trolley problem for a new era. It’s a Woke 2.0 cosmic test of some kind. Too on the nose to engage with.

I give it a week at most

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

The last time a senior British royal was taken into custody was 400 years ago by Oliver Cromwell

The AI I’ve been talking in circles with to get to a pharmacist pronounces “ok” as “oak” but sure keep talking about how super intelligence is taking over the world

Why is George Clooney doing Grubhub commercials, like what set of decisions led him here

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Strongly believe this is the point Chotiner thought “fuck it, let’s see how far I can push this guy” and the fact that he later goes on to compare the interviewee to Roman Polanski and Leni Riefenstahl without any pushback just proves his point

The UK still has shame. Don’t lose that friends

Some of the Epstein files are just very funny

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Catherine O’Hara wardrobe polaroids from Second City, 1983. RIP an absolute legend & icon💔

Critical Mass will dedicate its monthly ride in honor of Alex Pretti. Meets 6:30pm at Westlake the last Friday of every month: www.instagram.com/p/DUAAGMylCom/ Haven't heard anything concrete yet about a Seattle ride Sat to coincide with the Angry Catfish ride in MN: www.instagram.com/p/DT-_YROCe1Q/

I met so many heroic observers on the ground today, folks I’m starting to see every day. I still don’t know real names, but there are certain pseudonyms who are always out there and that make me feel safe. I’m meeting neighbors when we discover we’re rapid response together. Community is how we win.

A year ago: hand and arm cramps from obsessively tying friendship bracelets to deal with my anxiety Today: hand and arm cramps from folding anti-ice zines to distribute in my neighborhood

Its funny how we have parables that everyone knows and understands like the emperor’s new clothes and yet

Omg it would be so Logan Roy

Woke up to honking in solidarity of a big spontaneous protest on my block. Bigger than last neighborhood No Kings. Hours later and a bunch of old hippies are still singing protest songs while their grandkids sidewalk chalk at their feet. This is deep blue Seattle but something has shifted.

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

The best thing I did in 2025 was read Lonesome Dove, which I’ve thought about almost every day since.

In the New Year, I will need someone who is skilled at making an artful map for a project that I am working on. If this is you, please reach out in January - [email protected] I need a visual representation of the circulation of a historical pamphlet.

Looking back, I think the TV special when the Sesame Street crew met the Muppets was my first psychedelic experience

Petition to the Seattle Times @seattletimes.com to never use “seismic shift” in a headline unless referring to a literal seismic shift please it gave me a fright @ericacbarnett.bsky.social @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social @governorferguson.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov

Whatever you do, don't bring up the marinara's divorce.

It’s kind of a reverse Wallace Shawn/Young Sheldon that an entire generation associates Catherine O’Hara most with Home Alone

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure

I either picked the best or worst week to begin a 60-mile walk along the remote Australian coast with no cell service

People care less about labels than results. I was elected on the promise that all Seattle citizens should have access to a dignified life, regardless of their background or income. #thisisyourcity youtu.be/TNvmWV78ZlM

Wild graphic on front page of WSJ.

all of the absurdly talented writers whose careers have imploded through no fault of their own over the past decade plus of media consolidation and olivia nuzzi gets soft focus profiles for her memoir about fucking a fascist crank really makes the blood boil

I feel like a lot of democrats are engaged in a very big project to make us forget that the Biden administration and Harris 2024 campaign were mostly about fixing bridges

I'm sorry but today is comical. White people crashing out everywhere.

While we’re at it can we investigate that Harvard English professor for her criminal misreading of My Antonia

Bruce Harrell has conceded the Seattle mayoral race to Katie Wilson.

somehow Trump appears in Epstein's emails more than Epstein himself

Oh shit it was Circumstances?? Why haven’t we arrested Circumstances yet www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

I asked a bunch of people in Melbourne today how they feel about the Epstein stuff and to a person they’re like “it reveals things about people in power getting away with anything and that affects all of us”

“Is this a hint” “duh” I mean obviously the whole thing is despicable but these emails are very funny

Im in Australia taking a lil break from everything but no one wants to talk about the Epstein emails with me :(

photos and videos.

It’s also reminds me how much time I spent circa 2017-19 with male colleagues and friends over drinks asking me if their behavior in this or that circumstance was “okay,” and/or rehashing my own trauma to try to shock them into understanding. It was and is exhausting

Sitting here thinking about how we need a wealth addiction classification in the DSM.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

Always thought they should expand the Star Wars universe into every genre. Workplace comedy at galactic bureaucracy. Hospital show with all the creatures. Law and Order: Star Wars.

I just heard a radio ad for a grocery store sale where we can “save like it’s 1929!” RIP baudrillard you would have loved it here.

One day after election day, Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes has fired Brian Maxey, SPD's COO, and chief counsel Becca Boatright. Per inside sources, Harrell told Barnes to wait until today. These are two very longtime civilian employees who've been shut out by Barnes, who brought in his own team.

I would die for him. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The boys chat saw Naomi Klein on stream at the Zohran thing and had a moment of asking who that hot lady was. Idk what’s going on with men these days but it isn’t whatever the news media says it is

Once I had an amazing therapist I was complaining about 3am anxieties and she was like “lay it on me. Confess the worst things you’ve ever done. Let’s drag them out.” And not only were so many of them dumb but daylight is such a powerful disinfectant
