The yelling has scared the cat. #mariners

My kiddo is coming for Thanksgiving week, and as we discussed what to cook he asked if we could do a land acknowledgement before dinner. I'm definitely not a perfect parent, but... he's a pretty outstanding small human.

I almost feel sorry for the Blue Jays' bullpen. Almost.

Taylor Swift announces that she is supporting the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS and hopefully the World Series on ABC’s Good Morning America. Says that Cal Raleigh, the Big Dumper, embodies the spirit of the Life of a Showgirl.

Mariners win *and* some random Toronto fan behind home plate was wear a shirt with a butt plug on it. October baseball!

Caught a glimpse of a guy at the coffee shop working on a presentation deck, and... full-side blue-and-green gradients everywhere with black text?!? Sir, no.

A little girl, maybe four years old, just came into the coffee shop wearing rainbow leggings and cowboy boots and assertively pointing out which pastries she wanted, and... I think I want to be her when I grow up.

Fuck yeah Mariners!

Whenever I talk to junior designers, they're always surprised (and a little disappointed) at how little time I spend in Figma. The "UX" part of my job is a much bigger chunk than the "design" part.

A man sitting in his parked car opened his door to yell at me because he thought I was too close to him when I parallel parked (he honked at me as I backed up). He even had a print copy of the WA driver's guide to wave at me. But a baby high-fived me in the park, so still net positive on the day.

Oh like you *wouldn’t* have pizza delivered to the salon mid-balayage if you had skipped lunch.

This morning’s comic after I cooked my brain watching that inane freaking military nonsense

This signature?

Good thing I’m not planning to get out of bed for the next six or seven hours.

When it's a cashmere-wool-blend yarn, it's not "using up scraps," it's "color blocking." This stuff is *pricey.* But I will have a very cozy new scarf about the time it's cold enough to wear it.

Executed a perfect parallel parking job in a rock star spot in front of the coffee shop, and when my first coffee came out a couple minutes slower than normal, they gave me my second one for free. I wonder how long the good karma is going to keep paying out...

Put on a video from the “sleepy history” subgenre to help me fall asleep last night, and… I appreciate the need to monetize to support content creation, but front-loading the ads instead of one being dropped in right as I’m dozing off might be a better strategy.

These murders really did change my hometown. MASSIVE break in a case that has haunted Austin for decades (I was only a bit younger than these girls when they were killed and remember the news coverage so clearly).

Pike Place Market is rethinking its streets — less room for cars, more space for people. 🚶‍♀️🚲 @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social + @nerd4cities.bsky.social share how the Limited Car Access Pilot is reshaping the Market + what it could mean for Seattle’s future. 🎥 Full Vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhJb...

Speaking officially as the host of Jeopardy!, Cal Raleigh is the correct MVP vote.

THE SEATTLE MARINERS ARE AL WEST CHAMPS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2001!

MAGA Christians will worship serial predators, career criminals, neo-Nazi influencers, race-baiting, supremacist podcasters, xenophobic nationalist politicians, and homophobic celebrity evangelists. They'll worship just about anybody but Jesus. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/conservati...

Need a new streaming service for all of that boycott money? How about investing in @dropout.tv, a progressive comedy platform that doesn't bend the knee to fascism! Not sold? Check out the trailer for @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social season 4! www.slashfilm.com/1975685/amer...

I never thought a dystopian nightmare could be this embarrassing.

I hope they distributed barf bags to the UN General Assembly as they entered today.

So... just how much money did Disney lose over the weekend?

🎶The band is getting back together 📢 Make Some Noise season 4, coming exclusively to @dropout.tv, starting October 13th

Prompt engineering feels a little like the "Teach me to make a PBJ sandwich" writing exercise from the first week of college. The output from the model is going to suck if you don't tell it to open the jar of peanut butter. Does this mean I get to say I'm still using my degree?

Big weekend for former Discord employees going all in on their art. Today - Emilie and the West Seattle Art Tour! emilieseasel.com

Prototypical Seattle for coffee shop Sunday.

It’s @mb-pottery.com’s first market! Making sales like a pottery boss.

Wikipedia editors are keeping busy.

is it normal to be tired all the time

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

The world is a dumpster fire, but I'm choosing to see my recently developed ability to blowdry my hair in less than 10 minutes as part of the silver lining.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

A prescient typo for "New Courses" in an email newsletter.

Thanks, Seattle City Light, for another power outage. The fourth in the last three weeks.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

The cat is now wandering around howling because I scolded him for chewing paper, and... you can't convince me he doesn't understand English.

So. Much. Food. Happy birthday, Ruth!

I came home from the dentist today with two temporary crowns on my root canals, and I’m exceedingly glad I was able to sneak in the appointment for the permanents at 8 am tomorrow. Because I was home for all of five minutes before I cracked one of the temps biting into a hot dog.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Everyone look at this cat.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
