The reason America as a whole is going to walk on by its 250th birthday with nary a thought about it is that it is profoundly embarrassed, ashamed, and angry at what we've allowed to happen to our country

Congrats to Seattle and Mayor Wilson

Record "sick" days to be taken

Stranger endorsing this guy, and also someone who said Harris "deserved to lose 1,000 times" against Trump. We got ourselves a pro-Trump paper dressing in leftie clothes?

A few things that I think are important to note as we talk about SEPA. The City started scoping of environmental review for the comp plan in 2022. A Draft EIS which is over 1,000 pages was issued in 2024. A Final EIS was released in early 2025. It is over 1,300 pages.

Just absolutely bananas endorsements. That district 9 one is wtf

Days like this, I really wish we had automated trains. Mine was 20 minutes late and going so slowly that we had two other trains backed up behind us

This extremely niche technical bill hearing is bringing out a lot of Parks & Rec characters

Schrödinger’s SEPA appeal: filed so rarely as to be unworthy of attention and reform, and yet the city's last bulwark against turning Seattle into a treeless hellscape at the same time.

Pro-SEPA speaker connected tree loss to "parking and building a million dollar house" Okay okay let's get rid of parking and build affordable houses instead.

It's a big day in Seattle! Sure, Belgium and Senegal are playing in the round of 32...but it's also the public hearing on Council Bill 121215 reforming the city's SEPA appeals process. The meeting starts at 9:30am! seattle.legistar.com/MeetingDetai...

"And serves people who aren't even here"

WSDOT: Hi SEPA we want to build a massive "diverging diamond" interchange on I-90 at SR-18 to facilitate additional sprawl is that cool? SEPA: Sounds fine to me City of Seattle: Hey SEPA, we'd like to allow people to build more homes in the heart of our city SEPA: Slow down just a minute fella

💚

Well here's an idea.

Movie trailer showing the heroes on both bikes AND transit? nice.

people apparently don't recognize that manufacturers would develop AC units that would work with e.g. common tilt-turn windows if European countries developed a healthy market for them and laws allowing them. The box form factor designed for sash windows is convenient but not the *only one possible*

I'm really coming to agree with the argument @denisagar.bsky.social makes here. frequent transit that sevces more areas is far more important than free transit.

The anger was largely about him saying "we'll put in an honorary bike lane like we did for Steve Hulsman" They don't want "honorary bike lanes" created after people die, they want safe bike lanes now that will prevent people from dying to begin with. Btw there is still no Steve Hulsman bike lane.

Always fun getting a whole ass 401k rollover check 😬

Half of Lime trips on unprotected portions of Rainier and MLK are Access reduced price riders. Look at that huge volume of rides along Rainier north of Columbia City. 👀 Great research by @nondriver.bsky.social on who rides bikes and scooters on the Southend.

Mom is wheelmaxxing

Paris presque coupé en deux : la carte des arrondissements de Paris suivant quel véhicule leurs habitants utilisent le plus pour aller travailler entre le vélo (rouge) et la voiture (bleu) d'après les dernières données INSEE parues aujourd'hui.

We are only going to beat MAGA with a popular front, and people who insist on mischaracterizing Democrats as some kind of right-wing party are sabotaging the popular front as much as any centrist obsessed with bipartisanship.

One thing that's been fun to watch during this World Cup in Seattle is conservatives realizing cities can actually be fun and exciting - especially when there's tons of people in them - and that the government can do a great job of hosting events and creating people space! More!!

"You shouldn't need aircon in England!!!1" well, the earth got hotter, now you do, sorry

Also, as a species we emit about 4 times the GHGs globally for heating as we do for cooling. We don’t have these same weird rounds of “should we *really* be heating our houses in the winter?” discourse because it’s what we’ve always done and so obviously needed. Well, cooling is life-saving too.

And not a peep about this from Tree Action Seattle? How strange, this is in their obsessive leader’s area too. I guess there were no houses added so no reason to protest it? www.kuow.org/stories/a-pr...

figma becoming the very thing they were born to combat (all the cruft in adobe tools)

I just want to know why this particular car isn't available to Americans. Oh right, the government says free market, but gives us anything but that.

Slate Auto lost the $7.5k federal credit, but without the trade provisions attached to it, they were also able to switch to much cheaper Chinese LFP batteries. It's not a wash, but *if* Slate survives it'll probably be as a more efficient and competitive company.

​"European cities are set to lose between 8.5% and 14% of their on-street parking ..." This is a smart way to get drivers to care about car bloat. Bigger vehicles use more curb space, reducing the parking spots available to everyone else.

Sean Hannity called Brad Lander a "radical socialist." If that's what they're calling Brad, whose entire political identity is being the biggest mensch around & understanding that government can be used to help people, then Democrats need to follow his example and just do and say what they believe.

Hey Microsoft employees, want to get to the airport in like 25 minutes?

One-ways are actually mostly good. They get too much unmotivated hate in urbanist circles The safest crossings I experienced as a pedestrian in the US are in Manhattan, a grid almost exclusively made of one-ways.

Spotted this cool sign in Portland.

But this project is far from finished. When Phase II opens this year, it will grow to 4.2 kilometres and eight hectares, making it Romania's largest linear park. And planners and officials increasingly see it as the backbone of a larger network of green and active-mobility corridors across the city.

sometimes I just need to chill inside the whole day; Seattle summer fomo be damned

We also need to have a more honest conversation about how driving, no matter how useful to the person doing it, imposes harms onto other people. Until we try to reduce those harms as much as possible, it’s not clear how we’re going to take the steps needed to create a safer, healthier country 8/10

We argue that this fits squarely into an emerging body of research that all points the same way: car culture and motonormativity are so entrenched, it's too late for information and incentives to make the difference. 'Hard' measures are needed if we want to get serious about reducing car harms 7/10

Fuck yeah this guy get it. 🤘

OK this is the freaking greatest

What the Overlook Walk looks like at max capacity. Seattle has shown up today

Seattle’s stadium tied for 1st of the 16 World Cup venues. Strangely no Bellevue stadiums were ranked. 🤔 www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

The three highest ridership days in Link history have all occurred in 2026. Between Juneteenth celebrations, the USA vs Australia World Cup match (and affiliated watch parties), and the Mariners game, there's a good chance today will earn a spot on the Link ridership podium.

No one better drive into the tracks today
