Well here’s something interesting: Someone put together a “warehouse fire tracker” to keep up on all the recent reports of major warehouse fires that have happened in the US. Do with this data what you will warehousefire.watch

Whenever Erica Barnett starts with “a real hater would” it’s 100% something someone should do.

by the time this is over it will be 12 straight years of being governed by men without a functional brain. and at least 8 straight years of men clinically unfit to hold any proper work or drive a vehicle

Photos from the ST2 gallery that make me say “Hell yeah, brother”

Government officials arguing publicly about who is responsible for a sewage pipe is definitely a thing that happens in a first world country.

Saw the new harbor seal and he’s quite the lad

Dumping money into the Punishment Industrial Complex budget is going to be painful for regular people in the short term but in the longer term (a few years maybe) it’s going to make it really easy to divert budget to building a functioning society. And no, I don’t mean “rebuilding”

New seal just dropped

The Tukwila Riverfront Technical Park is owned by Sabey Corporation. Three of the principals are listed below, source: LinkedIn and Secretary of State corporations filings. John Sabey, CEO, Medina Alexis Greene, CFO, Seattle Travis Anderson, COO

Conservative leadership is something that sounds good to some people in theory but has never worked in the United States, in my lifetime, in practice.

If you’re going to take the time to appreciate the ugliness, and you should, you should also take the time to appreciate the beauty.

I see life as a shared gift, received from others and passed on to others, living and dying as one process, in which lies both our suffering and our reward. Without mortality to purchase it, how can we have the consciousness of eternity? I think the price is worth paying.

What if revive I-5 is actually a plot to make Seattle more socialist by forcing us to ride public transit more and be around other types of people we might not regularly be and maybe even develop some empathy. @wsdot.wa.gov

The Homan League As Donald the Dove sends only human Homan to synthesize peace in Minnesota, Greg Bovino is left asking don't you want me baby? Honestly, a waitress in a cocktail bar could do a better job than either of these clowns. by Maureen Dowd

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

Leaders who refuse to lead are saboteurs. Saw the same thing under Biden. Status quo or bust.

Seattle traffic is wild these days and it’s all due to our massive, expensive bridge repair between north and central Seattle. Everyone who ever advocated for bike/bus lanes and light rail was 100% correct. You could clog those spaces with cars and it wouldn’t help any of this.

I'm at the civil war I'm at the NATO war I'm at the combination civil war and NATO war

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

ICE agents will be the enemies in future books, movies and video games.

dumb nazi bitch lmao 😂

Guys, we have to pay twice the amount of taxes we otherwise might so that we can be “protected” by a bunch of Uvalde cops who are too scared to do their jobs.

Solan will be taking time to pursue his true passion: Conservative Grifter Podcasting

Never let anyone tell you trains are expensive again. Days like today should remind you that the DoD budget is part of the cost of cars.

This photo is trying to tell us something

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @governorferguson.bsky.social @atg.wa.gov This is unacceptable.

Shopping pro-tip: a lot of the time, you can go right to a company’s own website and get a product for the same price as Amazon, often with free shipping. Every penny you keep out of Bezos’ pocket is a victory.

Vanguards of modern neoliberalism: “We’re running out of good ideas!” Everyone living under late stage capitalism: “Just now?”

You need to understand that the reason Weiss was hired at CBS was because it was already dead.

Whatever you do, don’t look up Chuck Schumer’s net worth.

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration. It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

Yeah, sounds extremely familiar. “Oh, yeah it was bad. Of course we all saw it and it was way worse in person than what was reported. What, you didn’t see it? What are you, some kind of moron?”

White suburban Americans who go overboard on Christmas decorating the day after thanksgiving innately understand white Americans have no culture but they probably don’t have the words to express that.

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Maybe if we dedicated less of our country’s resources to AI and human rights abuses we could have more resources for keeping people from being angry. Someone should look into that.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

There it is. Blue: Normal People Orange: Sociopaths

Red areas really telling on themselves. Concentrated sociopath zones.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are. The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

New piece. A long deep dive piece into the reasons beyond the punditry and headlines as to why Harris and Democrats as a whole failed in 2024. I firmly believe this is about far more existential, psychological, and structural reasons than it has been depicted as. Here’s why.

Disband the department of homeland security and use the money to fund services. Move the coast guard back under a department that can be held accountable to taxpayers.

If the United States was a club the vibes would be off and people would be leaving cause it’s a sausage fest

If you feel victimized by your neighbors choosing to increase your local tax rates you are in the wrong place and you really should leave. Go somewhere that aligns with your values. It’s relatively easy, especially if you’re a white male tech worker.

I’m not gonna let this one slide @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
