this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

NEWS: Josh Naylor and the Mariners have agreed to a five-year extension, pending a physical, a source confirmed to @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social.

The Seattle Mayor's race is too close to call. Lots of ballots remain to be counted. But there is plenty of good news for progressive candidates all around the region from tonight's results.

All the Taliban fighters who were bored their office jobs after winning hearing about the Bagram news:

Allowing housing in EVERY neighborhood, rather than engaging in perennial piddly debates about tiny sections of Seattle, would greatly ease gentrification pressure in areas like the CD, CID, Southeast Seattle, and South Park because renters wouldn't be confined to tiny swaths of the city.

It is unfortunate to speak ill of a man on the occasion of his death, and I do not do so cavalierly or idly. But how much more unfortunate to live a life that calls forth such truthful condemnation.

The southernification of all of rural America is probably the biggest development of that time period

This is hilarious, but it also made me think about how the political movement that now controls all three branches of the government arguably germinated in an organization that was founded in 1958 on the claim that Dwight Eisenhower was a “conscious agent of the communist conspiracy.”

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid. Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws. Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.

The most ridiculous double standard in American politics is how the right describes blue cities as war-torn shitholes full of crackhouses, but if you imply rural America is anything but the purest form of American community you persona non grata yourself

Guys, you're still trying to replace FDR. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Riley Gaines really established a pipeline that if you're a 5th place winner there's still a lucrative career ahead of you if you want to promote bigotry so men can keep controlling women

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

We're all going to be unbelievably fucked if blue states don't start immediately rolling back restrictions on new housing to create a construction boom and build millions of new multifamily homes as soon as possible

I want us to build Barcelona blocks on steroids. Not just grocery, but bars, restaurants, retail businesses, etc. With retail, commercial, and govt services mixed in with residential. Make it virtually impossible for certain areas to have empty hours, which increases security.

We can't really hang this exclusively on the tech industry in Seattle when we know where opposition to upzoning to meet increased housing demand comes from. It's neighborhoods and Lawful Anal Tree Rights Groups that consider multifamily housing off of stroads and South Seattle an act of war.

I genuinely can’t get over this. Imagine serving your country through a brutal war only to have your memory DELETED by some boer piece of human filth, the richest man on earth, because his fragile ego collapses if we admit black people have contributed to America

The easiest way out of this was to avoid it with a Harris victory but the American people, are greedy, stupid, cruel, selfish, and spoiled. The next best way was with a strong Democratic Congressional response, but Schumer and Jeffries are unimaginative, weak, and lazy machine politicians.

The vote on the historic landmarking bill in the Washington House is UNANIMOUS.

so many stupid Trump voters said “America is a global laughingstock, at least with Trump, other countries will respect us” instead, we are well on our way to becoming a pariah state

Only been in Hamburg for like 15 hours and yeah we need all the rich neighborhoods in Seattle to look like this. Make the PNW more like Europe dammit

Poland there is a war going on in Ukraine, and you're just gonna sit there and let North Korea be the only other co-belligerent?

A niche thing I’m interested in is how it seems all US airports have stores named after a specific part of the city. SeaTac has a spot called Pike/Pine (frankly doesn’t make sense to me), Cincy had an Over-the-Rhine shop. Anyone got examples of other like this? Popped up within last decade for sure

EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7? My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian. www.dailydot.com/debug/captiv...

I really do think part of the problem is the old bankers and ceos and plausibly sane media people are straight up too old and offline to see how degenerate and evil and insane the enemy is.

They are selling our country for parts.

i kind of hate it that my rep is jayapal and the senator up in 2028 is murray. both people i do not want to primary.

This struck me as the perfect distillation of JD Vance. He is a shockingly incurious and unserious guy who has faked his way into the center of power and now thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Wait trumps also going to declare English the official language??? They’re finally doing it? Christ

Over the course of the Trump era, we've gone from "Anything I don't understand is a conspiracy" to "anything I don't understand is a useless waste of money and should be destroyed."

This is the root of a lot of MAGA's stove-touching. "Executive branch employees? Yeah, they don't do anything. Waste of money. "NATO? Bunch of socialist leeches who don't benefit America. "Canada? Useless neighbor that relies on us to protect it." These people don't know how *anything* works.

if AOC gets jailed she's going to be president

a starbucks barista is seen as more elite than a suburban car dealer

A big problem with American politics is that a third generation hvac company owner is seen as more working class than a teacher’s aide

The idea is that all opposition is astroturfed by Deep State funding or based on parasite classes dependent on welfare. When you abolish social security, defund academia and NGOs, all opposition will end. Elon has literally said this.

Voters chose Trump & RFK because they thought Trump would make them rich

For fucks sake

We won!!!!!!!

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

"its mom's fault dad drinks and drives" is the average coverage of DC

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I’m no expert on any of these things but the speed at which these morons are trying to coup very powerful institutions like the CIA, FBI, the fuckin military, and even Wall Street seems like the blueprint for instigating a Woke Business Plot
