What’s a new song you’ve been enjoying lately? Here’s one from me: #newMusic youtu.be/RX18CK_TNXU?...

The dogs, bein’ cute.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Brooklyn craft beer packaging goes hard

Now that my niece has graduated, I should stop hate-following her sorority on instagram…right?

CAPTCHAs gettin' wild out here:

Larry Mizell, Jr. at @kexpmusicbot.bsky.social has allowed me to find, within myself, the *limit* to how much Hall & Oates music I can enjoy in a day.

As an architect and AIA member, I am embarassed that half of the credits for this "Ethics for Professionals" course package are on the topic of "Harassment & Discrimination Prevention." I'd like to think that our profession has a bigger duty than simply to...not violate employment laws.

🇺🇸 America is an idea, and I believe part of that idea can be winning this game! 🇺🇸 Go U.S.A.!

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

They followed him and his 7yo daughter to their vacation hotel? Seems like some real Stasi techniques at play here: www.npr.org/2026/07/01/n...

Timesheet in. <Slams laptop shut!> Notifications off. Teams installed from phone. See you next week, chat!

Falling overall murder rates and a sharp uptick in killings by police officers means that 1 in 10 Americans who are murdered are murdered *by police.* www.economist.com/united-state...

(If you zoom way in) I made the Seattle Times coverage of the State Democratic Convention!

A former student of mine spoke on the floor of the Convention about one of the resolutions! #washDems

They created a self-funding authority! Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei in the Robert Moses school of governing.

Cool puppets, Spokane.

America, let’s win this midterm election and make Representative Pramila Jayapal the Chair of the House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. She would be excellent, and the first naturalized citizen to serve on that role. #washdems

Did you know that, 14 members, Washington has the largest Black Legislative Caucus west of the Mississippi? #washDems

It’s a beautiful day to fly across the state for the Washington Democratic Convention!

Grades are due in just under 44 hours, and Canvas is crashing, so that I can't access student work. Between this and the ransom situation in the Spring, maybe we've invested too much in a single platform?

These hydration breaks: it’s basically just soccer with quarters now, right?

Better than any eagle’s nest cam or even watching Team USA whoop up on Paraguay: www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

🇵🇱 It’s Poland night, people, and pierogi production is in process! 🇵🇱 #eatTheWorldAtoZ

It’s a beautiful evening for the Fish Sticks sold-out season opener! @gofishsticks.bsky.social

In case you still care.

“So, tomorrow, we’ll pick you up from the Gays Eating Garlic Bread in the Park event and go straight to the Fish Sticks Game.” …is a sentence I could not have imagined before living in Seattle.

This person is quoted claiming that their mere presence, say, as a restaurant patron benefits the city. But they’re complaining about a policy impacting *second* (or third…) homes, so by definition, they spend more of their time and restaurant bux someplace else.

Is it ever a good idea to recommend anti-anxiety medication to strangers near you in an airport?

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

If you’re over 40, the Michael J. Fox Foundation is doing a national study on a possible connection between sense of smell and Parkinson’s. If you sign up, they mail you a scratch-and-sniff test. (Sounds like the most interesting thing in my mailbox for weeks!) www.michaeljfox.org/ppmi?utm_sou...

(Passing a particularly atrocious building under construction in unincorporated King County) The mister: “Woah! Okay, maybe design review isn’t so bad after all.”

This is fabulous news for the CED! ced.berkeley.edu/news/nichola...

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

I am holding down the front corner picnic table at QED and awaiting the arrival of the Complete Communities Bus!

I just yelled "Hey everybody, food's here" so my Dasher wouldn't think these 2 dozen tacos are for me and only me. 🌮 😅 🌮

Cheers, crew. We made it through the damn week. 🙏🍻

the bus. you've once again invented the bus.

Or, just tax people. kutv.com/news/educati...

🍒 It’s cherry season in Washington! 🍒

I’m not buying any more Girl Scout cookies until they’re honest enough to list the serving size as “1 Box”.

In a typical Jess travel move, I checked in to my hotel and then googled “dive bars near me” and an early result is map-themed and “known for its Calzones.”

The woman behind me in the boarding line told me that I have a doppelgänger, and that she works with her. I said that I hoped she was using my likeness for good in the world, and my lane neighbor reports that Alex, who “looks just like me,” is a medical equipment expediter. Work it, Alex.
