Someone thought it was a good idea to steal from the #1 pirate-themed punk rock dive bar. Help them out if you can please and thank you gofund.me/e84275dff

I'll walk around the city snapping pictures Uninvolved And wasting no one's hopes for me No one left to look at me as if I've let them down No longer sounding like I'm trying to change the key I'm going to be the picture of agreeability youtu.be/369s33KzvJo

HEY! Did you vote for the Mayor of Seattle and think that you're DONE with this election already? Well, I'm here to tell you you're NOT! There's 1,794 ballots from Seattle alone that aren't counted due to signature issues! But good news: you can check and FIX IT if it's you!

I wonder how many people will discover the @hodgman.bsky.social & Janet Varney podcast E Pluribus Motto on @maximumfun.org while searching for the Official Pluribus Podcast for Apple TV? Out of many, one would hope a batch of new pod listeners.

Staff are also available by phone at 206-296-8683 to help with questions.

Maybe you forgot to sign your ballot, or your signature didn't quite match the one on record. If you received a signature challenge letter and have questions, we have a web page for that. kce.wiki/SignatureCha... Folks who need to resolve a signature challenge have until 4:30 pm on November 24.

New releases and recent live shows reflected in this week's streams. All over the decades and genres, as usual #5x5 #LastFM #music #FridayGrid #NowPlaying

It's the weekend, baby

This is incredible. King County elections is now saying they have 45,000 ballots left to count. If Wilson gets exactly the same margin of those as she got today she'll take the lead by... 20 votes!

Hell yeah, that's a hell of a jump closing the gap!

I'm a little bit embarrassed to both listen to a Star Trek podcast and to have bought this clearance game at Barnes & Noble. The sales did not go well, Enterprise! #FriendsOfDeSoto #GreatestTrek #GreatestGen @greatesttrek.com

UPDATE: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the use of force by federal immigration agents in the Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants. This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

“And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

There is going to be epic amounts of ketchup hitting the (remaining) White House walls tonight

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

I listened to a lot of Ska today and there's a full-on 🌊🌊🌊 in progress. I'm not saying they're related, but I'm not NOT saying they're related. You should probably listen to some Ska, just to be safe

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

You know what they say: Go couch, say ouch

Cringe? Maybe. But I enjoyed adding to my collection of band selfies last night with Steve Wynn from the Dream Syndicate

okay *now* nobody deserves to be a billionaire

Register my garbage can in your "convenient app" for a special offer? My garbage can does NOT need an app.

The cruelty is the point

The final Audioasis Live show of the year was fantastic, as usual. Chico Detour, The Wimps, & Quasi, live in the KEXP Gathering Space.

A typically soggy start to November, but I'm seeing Quasi at KEXP tonight so all is good youtu.be/O2rZn1PxqGo?...

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

We rarely get trick-or-treaters. We live in a fairly densely populated suburban "planned community," but the kidlets hit up the center of town main drive, where they can more easily hit 100s of homes. Last year we had 1. We just had 2! Our most exciting Halloween yet in this home.

This week's 5x5 is titled "The Al Gore Rhythm Don't Know What To Do With Me," or alternatively, "Let's Knife." #5x5 #LastFM #music #FridayGrid #NowPlaying

I remember the crunch, like a Joe Louis punch youtu.be/P7j-bAlf-yc?...

Well, this sucks. I've seen 19 bands at Madame Lou's so far this year. 12 last year. Regular visits to Here After too. A big loss for the city. At least the main room & hotel survive for now 😭 mynorthwest.com/local/downto...

I don't understand why mainstream media refuses to expose this scandal!

@calculizer.bsky.social obsessed with these new Ratboys songs. OBSESSED. Stellar work.

I forgot to bring my overnight oats to work yesterday so this morning's breakfast is double-overnight oats. tbh I think one night is all they really need

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

New @ratboysband.bsky.social ordered! ratboys.bandcamp.com/album/singin...

I want to go see Frost Children at Barboza this week but resellers bought up all the tickets a long time ago. I checked a few weeks ago and they were offering them on AXS resale for $900+ for 1 ticket. Down to $276.10 today. We'll see what a couple of hours before the show looks like.
