Damn, Ben, have you ever considered, like… being less ridiculously good? 😅

big gothic castle in quake from last year. didn't make it for any other reason than I was using it to make new textures and enjoying myself.

KATIE WILSON LEADS BY 1,346!

*chanting in anticipation* BAL! LOT! DROP! 👏 BAL! LOT! DROP! 👏

It is impossible to unwrap a present and see this without smiling.

I always tell people that I'm not worried about AI doing what I do, I'm worried about people with control over my livelihood thinking that AI can do what I do!

This is the work I miss the most about my old job

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Reminder: here's how a recount works, and why Wilson is likely to remain the winner if she goes into a recount with a lead, even a small one. Still...cure those ballots!

Daaaaaang.

Thinking of this quote from Mamdani’s victory speech.

For measurements of, “walk into the airport and get to your gate” and “get off the plane and get out of the airport,” Burbank to SeaTac D gates is quite the airport speed run

cone of shame vs cone of delight

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

I’m gonna be on a plane but anyone local who didn’t know about this should get over there for sure

Just one grift after another, and only the wrong people benefit.

Me: "Where's my damn nasal spray?" The various rooms in my house:

This is the election equivalent of a 15-inning ALCS game jfc

In Tyler Zangief we trust

The arc of a thrown sandwich bends towards justice.

Mamdani was unwilling to run PR for an apartheid state committing genocide, so Schumer refused to endorse him.

TL;DR: to put it in sports terms that may be more easily understood, anti-trans policies and politicians are fucking losers.

All this AND the McRib is back?

Hell yeah sounds great

Riley Gaines’ most successful vocation is losing

Always kind of curious where the cutoff points are for Seattle’s first night election results vs the later drops. Anecdotally, this time my ballot was in the drop box on Monday afternoon, was received yesterday, and I received the counted confirmation this morning.

Hold music

Here's a look at the raw numbers in the Seattle mayoral contest, with 2021 for scale. Harrell has lost a lot of ground from his 2021 win. Wilson gained 17,221 votes more than Harrell between the primary and general. That would be more than enough to eliminate the 8,319 vote gap here.

We got this. She had 46% on primary night and ended up 10+ on Harrell

Many truly moving and exciting things in that speech, but this was a HIGHLIGHT

This was always going to be the close one, but these numbers are winnable based on previous results

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

All right, Seattle, we’re up.

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Once more, for old times’ sake
