Dems showing spine!

Actual el oh el

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

The first person to ask a question said, “I read the last third of your book very closely. The first 2/3 was a lovely catalogue of sorts, but I find the final third inadequate to the first 2/3.” 🤣🤢😡🤣

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

You know, just like a dozen years ago, Republicans never said zero batsiht crazy stuff that became normative in 2025.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Completely normal.

For me, this prompts the question: is @dieworkwear.bsky.social pro-pants or anti-pants?

PSA for Seattle procrastinators: If you're voting today or tomorrow, USE A DROP BOX, NOT THE MAIL! The USPS won't guarantee your timely ballot is postmarked on time. Locations of ballot boxes: cd.kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec... More details: publicola.com/2025/10/03/p...

Gen X: inconceivable

This is a great point—the Seattle Times got a state tax break for itself (with a provision explicitly excluding online outlets from this subsidy) but claims that a local tax for news, aimed at helping independent outlets thrive alongside legacy media, would be an outrageous theft of taxpayer funds.

For the 6th year in a row, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series 2020 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2021 - Will Smith (RP), Braves 2022 - Will Smith (RP), Astros 2023 - Will Smith (RP), Rangers 2024 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2025 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers

Echoing this. He’s pretty fun.

Baseball is like if the Book of Job was a sport.

Game 7-11 is drunk.

“The quality of the air you live in affects your cognition,” said Dr. Lee, senior author of a recent article in JAMA Neurology, one of several studies in the past few months to demonstrate an association between PM2.5 and dementia. Scientists have been tracking the connection for at least a decade.”

So we beat on, dolts against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

You can't make this up.

this is insane. www.kivitv.com/canyon-count...

Any guesses on who our son is going as for Halloween?

Lorena González's vote against the regional homelessness authority seems pretty well vindicated from today's point of view. It's interesting to me that Seattle progressives don't point this out more often.

The only thing crueler and more disgraceful than making a judge decide such a case would be appealing it.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda: "He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her." "She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

Faaaascinating

Rinck speaking to her amendment on increasing trees in the public right-of-way utilizing existing parking stalls: "Throughout the Comprehensive Plan discussions we heard loud and clear that we need a greater focus on our tree canopy to meet our goals and promote environmental justice."

Walkable city baseball edition: Andrés Giménez on how you get the feeling of a city by walking it.

Support local businesses like Nielsen’s Pastries in Lower Queen Anne that have a community gift card program that you can contribute to. Then folks who need food can buy food, too. Toasted Seattle is doing this, too. Will it fix SNAP funding? No, but it will fill a belly.

Everybody's talking about Dem strategy, so here's something to add to the mix. I start with this premise: The best and most reliable indicator of whether someone will vote red or blue is the density of the place they live. More dense, more likely to be blue, & vice versa.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

POV you’re still not married and your grandparents just found the nicest boy with a good job they want you to meet

Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets says existing SNAP/EBT balances will be honored after Oct. 31, while the Market Match program remains in effect, allowing recipients to double their spending power on fruits and vegetables.

Trump fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent agency that provides advice on design matters related to construction projects in the Capitol region, which was expected to review Trump’s construction projects, including a planned triumphal arch.

It’s not like he did something inconsequential like knock down the White House, usurp Congressional authority, or order extrajudicial killings.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

Anyone know what’s up with this byline in the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social ?

His ideas are too meowt there.

1. Cancer 2. There’s musical performance in the middle of every game 3. Jonas Brothers is stretching the definition of music

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

12 years this. 14 years for the Cheasty Bike Park (also opened today) We’ve got to get out of our way.

“The left looks for traitors; the right looks for coverts.” -Thom Yorke Seems an astute observation of certain political instincts, including some of my own.

What I’ve learned the most this week is that people cannot differentiate the east and west wings.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Don’t let the lamestream media fool you, the excavators tearing down the White House are tourists.
