Israel just hit an apartment in Beirut's suburbs for the first time in a few weeks. Just the second time since the alleged ceasefire went into effect.

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

I think at the core of this is a really deep political divide over the core nature of what freedom is. At stake here is this question: is freedom the end of exploitation and rule, the ability to work and make decisions together without anyone ruling over each other, Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It feels illegal to be alive

Left- Israeli politician, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, says that the Palestinian children whose hands were tied and were recovered from mass graves were "terrorists". Right- Israeli Minister, Yitzak Wasserlauf, told Israeli soldiers in Gaza to "grab the babies in Gaza and smash them against the rocks"!

I’m moderately ahead on my goal of reading 8 books this year. I have 5 down. 3 to go, 2 of which must not be audiobooks and 1 of which must not be fantasy or scifi

Started feeling like life was pointless but then I remembered I have not watched the full works of David Lynch. Life is worth living, friends

Just saw SPD draw on a black man *running away* at 11th and Denny The cop was just running with a gun yelling “you’re gonna get shot” A few seconds later he holstered the gun, still running

Meta lays off 1400 people in King County, and the same day, Mark Zuckerberg's $300M yacht docs in Seattle. TAX BILLIONAIRE WEALTH NOW. www.tiktok.com/@voterondavi...

This is disgusting. Tax wealth. www.seattletimes.com/business/zuc...

I firmly believe that King County Metro needs a better abbreviation. “METRO” is too generic, and too close to METRA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metra

Just finished Elric of Melnibone. Very fun, very camp. Any book recommendations?

I like chevre.

"These options that remove car lanes are less expensive, improve safety, and improve operations. But Sound Transit dismisses them essentially out of hand" yikes

I mean this completely sincerely and unironically, it is genuinely beautiful that the President of the United States is blowing up the world economy for Israel and is threatening to keep blowing it up unless the Arab states say they love Israel

Lets not do anything about Climate Change it's too difficult, it's not like Solar and Wind are 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel and only need to be replaced every 40/25 years. Oh wait... The only reason we don't act is to protect the outrageous Fossil Fuel profits.

lol fucking do it dude I dare you

hey mark

fuckerberg in town

With the new Papal Encyclical on AI, workers can potentially cite religious freedom to not be evaluated by AI or forced to use it. Let's see how long before a lot of the religious freedom crowd goes "no, not like that."

Look at what these racist pieces of shit Choe and Kruse are up to now. They are stirring up racial hatred. It’s so fucking lazy too half the people in this video are as blond and pale as me. These people are not “Honduran”

Please europeans who feel this way, learn what a heat pump is. You can use the same device to efficiently heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer

These strikes come as deaths in ICE custody skyrocket - and private prison contractors rake in record profits. "ICE data shows 51 people have died since the start of the second Trump administration, including 18 deaths reported this year as of May 1, 2026." documentedny.com/2026/05/21/f...

Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'

I'm almost done backing up my photos. Now I have a simple task ahead of me. Sort through 70,000 photos from the past 10 years and get the best 25 GB of photos out of it that I can.

“Officials have not yet reported how many people were killed. The scene remains in recovery phase, as emergency responders continue operations. The number of missing people is also unknown.”

For decades, the homes of drug dealers were seized without trial through what's called civil forfeiture - and conservatives applauded it. Mamdani proposes landlords consistently breaking the law should, after a clear legal process, similarly lose their property - and conservatives lose their minds.

Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians at a refugee camp in central Gaza today, according to Palestinian health officials. The strike hit a group of residents who had left their homes to confront an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia attempting to move into an area east of Maghazi camp

Man cannot live on bread alone but by the word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. Monster cannot live on cookies alone. He likes all kinds of food.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

If y'all know anyone who's planning on voting for Paxton, be sure to tell them about this:

I know the addresses of two concentration camps: 508 Waterworks Rd, Farmville, VA 23901 & 11093 S W Lewis Mem Dr, Bowling Green, 22427 & that means so does every Virginia democrat. Virginia democrats will you fight real injustice here at home? This is cruel & you know it. No human is illegal.

I visit Portland more than West Seattle. It’s easier to get to

The fruits of a system that makes affordable parking mandatory and affordable housing illegal. Means-tested free parking -- the vehicle owner can't use it unless they also own a house. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/24/u...

Holy shit this explains so much. Will Dreher knows so little about Seattle politics that he thought our Ron Davis was some AI douchebag in Texas with the same name! 😬But also hilarious. I’ve no idea who Will is but this plus the fact that he’s dissing Ron (with lies) rather than Gerry is a red flag

Some company needs to make an electric toyota sienna and I swear it will actually sell. The time is right

dreher's housing platform looks like it was written by AI meanwhile - ron davis has been showing up for housing - of all stripes - for as long as i've known him

The closest I get to the middle American idea of masculinity is that I have two box cutters, one that I despise and one that I love dearly

Hi I am a bassist in a municipal orchestra and I woud like housing in my city to be even more expensive, thanks.

This is some truly appalling NIMBY nonsense. Building infill housing is *good* for the environment. It *protects* birds and orcas and salmon. It *saves* forests and trees. The IPCC and Sierra Club have both recognized that infill housing is essential to protect the environment and tackle climate.

This is the most vile drink I have come across in a grocery store in a very long time

People finally got fed up enough waiting for the city to act.

I'm sure someone can identify this sign holder, right? Seattle's not a big city and there are only so many people who hate this annual pedestrian, wheelchair, and bike-friendly event enough to go to a protest

An end to this war (god willing), multiple countries banning the import of illegal Israeli settler goods, forthcoming ICC arrest warrants on at minimum two additional Israeli ministers, and a paradigmatic shift in how the public in the US views the "grand alliance".

I would vote for a Logan’s Run law in Seattle, even if the age cutoff took me along with these weirdos.

I demand that we make everything a little bit worse
