Imagine how much more money the NBA would’ve made had your team stayed here, when Amazon and other tech businesses exploded here instead of moving to the 47th media market? Maybe you guys aren’t that good at business

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

seattle is so hostile to starbucks that they only have 180 stores within city limits

Kinda weird no one's calling this World War Trump. He's just exploding shit all throughout the world with no care for second order effects. It really is just him vs. everybody, and you'll only be spared if you seed intimidating shirtless AI pictures of your own country's dictator onto TruthSocial.

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Just got a great Box Tops vinyl this past weekend at the neighborhood yard sale! Memphis band! Also, Gary Talley was a friend of my ex-husband’s and played at my wedding.

My friend who used to say the final stage of corporate greed was demanding to be loved is never, ever proved wrong.

I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS A BUSINESSMAN

part of me believes that if every American could have a gap year in which they experience functional mass transit, including high speed trains, it would transform the way we get around in this country inside a generation

This is the thing about aggressive, 1950s-style antitrust: If every firm must break up when it exceeds the annual revenue of three suburban shoe stores, you get HUGE security dividends (among many other good things).

Stating the obvious: The Canvas ransomware hack was an instance of monoculture-enabled potato famine. The purpose of the Internet is to reduce the cost of remote exploits, and the Silicon Valley imperative toward monopoly drives this cost reduction to its practical limit.

An excellent podcast on the below topic.

The WaPo Opinions Video team looks like they dressed up to mock me

For as progressive as Seattle may seem, it has an underrated ability to produce the most vile right-wing cranks.

In good news, I finally found someone who can make the dress I want within my budget!!! Third time’s the charm!

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

Fuckin Pittsburgh. And St. Louis. Knoxville can eat shit too, while we’re at it.

They’re like emergency responders who put on their siren and rush to the scene whenever Black people are trying to get representation

Hemp plastics have been an option for some time now too. Unless we FORCE manufacturing to change.. why wouid it? phys.org/news/2026-04...

Crucial point from @ariberman.bsky.social on the pod: Dems have already tried leading by example as a way to try to entice Rs to deescalate the hardball. It failed. Time to try something else: Dems must now engage in redistricting Total War. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

I want to be super clear that I’m not expressing an opinion about her behavior one way or another when I say that *if* Katie Porter were more traditionally attractive and feminine in presentation we absolutely would not be having this conversation about her.

Mensa Reddit is amazing

I was really not worried about the hantavirus until this administration started saying more and more forcefully everything is fine

As I’ve said before, Platner is a good example of how perceived electability advantage, often afforded to white men like him, can weaken Democrats’ fidelity to their values and make them more willing to engage in Trump-like excuse making for inexcusable behavior. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/o...

And here’s why I don’t believe it: because actual science says men aren’t penalized by coworkers who don’t know them—not even friends who care about them—for expressing sadness as much as women are penalized for expressing anger.

70’s & 80’s era rockabilly (Grease, Stray Cats), hair metal, Pee Wee’s playhouse, 90’s MTV, Elvis, and Sex and the City.

“Oh and there’s a gas surcharge now, too.” “By the way we just posted record quarterly profits. Thanks for bailing us out 15 years ago. We’ve decided to gouge you as a reward.”

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Seven people died from poisoned Tylenol in 1982, and for more than 4 decades every pill in America has been sold in tamper proof bottles.
