Trial by jury, massive agricultural surpluses, freedom of travel between states, the national parks system, many many types of food I could go on and might.

Inheritance taxes are death taxes you say? Well I don't like death- sounds pigovian to me!

YIMBYism in blue states is inherently pro-trans because it makes it more practical for trans people fleeing Draconian laws in red states to move there

KDE 6.7 has added something I have wished for in Windows for a long time- easy comparison of different timezones just by clicking the time in the bottom right of the taskbar. Delightful.

"What's more regressive than a sales tax? It's cuts to public transit. What's regressive is not being able to count on the bus that gets you to your low-wage job every morning. What is regressive is having to wait half an hour for the bus that's going to get you home to your kids every evening."

This is both somewhat educational and Very silly.

For two decades I've been too lazy to code and deploy this tool, but here: this takes a sequential pdf and returns an imposed zine version: humaniterations.net/imposedonline/

Xana’s ”Better Kind of Best Friend” I heard it as “I don’t die for my women anymore, I care for them”

Apparently one of the things that I didn’t pick up on with the recent Ballard Light Rail Extension indefinite deferral is that the South Lake Union Station that would have been near Mercer and Aurora in a very dense area of the city was *entirely cancelled*. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ah, 1999, the good old days, when video games weren't stuffed with woke bullshit... wait...what's that.........

Claudia Balducci should have been king county exec

Happy pride month eve to everyone, except for city councilmembers voting yes on pride month proclamations and then not voting to allow housing to be built within their borders.

heads up it’s time to update 7-zip www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

This series of posts is so extremely relatable

my favorite case on this point: yes, Zuckerberg did trip over a curb and land in a radicalization engine then he spent $80b to create a 3D shopping mall no one wanted. no amount of money or connections could conjure the social change he wanted don’t award these guys more power than they have

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Even if you think taxation is theft, you're a jerk if you want to make taxation hazing.

The revolution will not be complete until the Madison St. RapidRide is extended to Madison Beach Park. Let the streets run red with Bus Only Lane paint.

People love seattle! The culture, the natural beauty, everything is so special here. We need to make sure we're building enough to accommodate the city of the future ☺️

Why doesn’t the Wilburton pedestrian bridge directly connect to the Wilburton LINK station. They are practically touching they are so close to each other! Frustrating station area design.

For the record, I am super happy about the new public restrooms.

Juniper Blessing sings “Se tu m’ami” in the finals of Canzonnette Italiane

You wouldn't download ... A PROGRESS BAR!

MAN: Hello, police? It's a terrible thing, you see, my wife was killed last night, I was hoping you could send someone to investigate OFFICER: Certainly sir, the great detective Columbo is in town. Go and see him, he will solve the case MAN: Ah, I see, very good. Oh, officer, just one more thing,

It's just so much more interesting than this, IMO. NIMBY bureaucracy from the 1990s that everyone had just taken for granted finally came tumbling down with some publicity, almost completely outside mainstream media. It was a sandcastle pretending to be real.

We should try not to make the torment nexus.

South Kirkland to Issaquah Link would be pushed to 2050. T Line streetcar extension would be pushed to 2043. Ballard Link would stop at Seattle Center but be fully designed. 1 Line infill stations would just get funded through final design. DuPont Sounder extension put on ice.

I still think it would be incredible to show up to the Pioneer Square preservation board wearing authentic 1890s outfits complaining about how many cars are there now, in character.

Blocking apartment buildings? I guess that's before we knew the harm it would cause. Kind of like selling cigarettes in the 1950s.

this is catastrophically untrue, and the fact that it's even come close to picking up currency on the left is a complete disaster for leftist governance. if you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the country, you could pay for the federal government for one year. that's it.

Bus Lane... or SCANDAL? 😱

Oh no I am developing opinions about capture cards. Apparently they only support a limited number of resolutions which means taking advantage of a capture card to, say, use an ipad as an external display means fuzziness and black bars, because good luck finding 1.45:1 aspect ratio support.

It’s trans day of visibility! I am a trans woman. Good luck out there y’all.

Link light rail opens across lake Washington today! aaahhhhh!

On this day in history: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangl...

I mean, Heinlein wasn’t exactly a saint either… It’s weird how Elon Musk and I clearly read the same books (see also drone ships named after Culture ship) growing up and seemed to take opposite lessons about how society and people should be treated.

Just a cool video about a perennially disappearing and reappearing lake in Washington State (South Prairie Lake) youtu.be/fH1vZeUjta0?...

Andor is incredible. And uncomfortably topical.

We're ten or so years into this & STILL I see people shouting "stop talking about the Evil Wizards who are Doing Evil Wizard Stuff, this is really all because of the rotten institutionalists" and "stop saying the institutions need pervasive ground-up reform, this is all the Evil Wizards' fault"

As a shorttime Linux nerd, anyone switching to Linux hit me up and we can struggle together

Random tech hill I’ll die on: laptops should have USB-C ports they can charge from on both their left and right sides.

@dropout.tv I see that grocery outlet has picked up on your marketing

If California and other relatively LGBT-friendly states want to be helpful, they're going to need to build a lot more housing.

I wish excel would make it easier to use ISO-8601 datetimes.
