1. I never want to hear about “we’re protecting the kids” again from people like Riley Gaines. Nicki Minaj is marred to a registered sex offender who served time in prison for attempted rape of a teenage girl.

I think it’s good to impose penalties on people who actively put other people’s lives at risk. We live in a society.

Imposing proportional consequences for anti social behavior like drunk driving is good and necessary to create a deterrence and protect public safety.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

I truly don’t care

Stunning post-storm sunset

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

The solution to this kind of unfairness is to enforce consequences for bad behavior against rich and powerful people, not to throw our hands up and stop enforcing standards of good conduct entirely.

The Lt. Gov. of Indiana has now deleted this post which confirmed that the Trump admin threatened to withhold federal funding from Indiana if they didn’t gerrymander.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

No one could have predicted this! (Everyone who supported congestion pricing predicted this)

Hello I would like to not be sick and to go back to the gym

a really good story would be how much hanukkah gelt costs this year vs. last year

So many people were waiting in line in the rain to see Dave Chappell last night and I don’t understand why

After NYC installed 2,000 speed cameras, crashes fell 30% and injuries 16%. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Christmas market!

10 seconds to tap a clipper card?? What the ever-living hell?? MTC is doing its best to radicalize urbanists in favor of fare-free transit.

Set my alarm to go to the gym before work this morning. Woke up at 12:30am. And 3:20am. And 4am. And 5:45. Reader, I did not go.

The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

It turns out I’m dumb and had one of the inputs wrong. I still hate ArcGIS because one little error makes a BIG difference. I’m glad I solved it but what a time sink!

Every nazi movement needs a youth wing.

Kleptocracy was always the inevitable end of “run the government like a business.”

🚨 ALERT🚨 ICE operating in South Seattle. Abductions yesterday, agents spotted today in Othello. Be on the lookout:

“I don’t know why I’m so anxious” -me on my 5th cup of coffee

Yes I had a cookie for breakfast at noon on a Sunday what about it?

Lmao I hate ArcGIS Pro so much. After 40 hours the model decides to fail?

32 hours now and I have to wonder if keeping my work laptop plugged in this long is going to run up my electric bill

FUCK ICE

The Netflix/WB thing really just fucking sucks, entire industries being squashed by a bunch of Silicon Valley tech losers in bad suits more concerns about churning out C- level content slop than making TV and movies.

Stay based, Seattle. "He speculated the city might be the epicenter of anti-AI sentiment among major U.S. tech hubs."

Anyone else remember like a 10 year GOP crusade against snowflakes and parents coddling children with “participation trophies”? Everything is projection example 10,001…

23 hours and still going strong…

This GIS model has been running for 10 hours how is it not done yet

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

This isn't a Supreme Court, it's just six Republican operatives imposing law on the rest of us in order to help Trump and MAGA destroy the Constitution and impose authoritarian rule.

Real great system we have here. No notes.

I don’t understand how Susan Collins’s votes to confirm RFK Jr. and Kavanaugh won’t sink her the most if Democrats hammer on it. Make an entire ad called “Lazy Susan” and talk about how her refusal to stand up to Trump has undermined public health, allowed ICE abuses, and cost Mainers re: Canada.

Every piece shit standing around him is equally as racist as the piece of shit speaking behind the desk.

Being sick is annoying but at least it’s cozy weather and ramen is only two blocks away

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Thinking so much about how every client's wishlist was physical or financial, and no one asked for someone kind, loving, sensitive, or funny. Those qualities are the most enduring in a partner. Bodies and careers change a lot faster than personalities do.

Absolutely devastating account of the CSU's $17 million capitulation to ChatGPT, from a fellow faculty member watching it happen www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

If Joe Biden had personally tweeted about Laura Bush using Donald Trump's autopen, Jake Tapper would have had three stories and half of Congress would have been calling for the 25th Amendment before dawn.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Unfortunately, not everyone is on board with this vision. We lost about $2,000 in donations because we took a strong stand for an affordable and walkable city this year. If you agree it was the right thing to do, please donate if you can — it will be matched today! seattlegreenways.org/donate

LADWP finally turned off its last coal powerplant. The last one of any significance providing power to California.

It’s giving…Tuesday??

Will pay $1M to never learn another thing about someone named Olivia Nuzzi

The president is a lunatic

Well, this is exhibit number one in any lawsuit challenging a new travel ban on unconstitutional animus grounds.
