Y'all, as a home vegetable gardener, I'm telling you with love and experience: we are not going to home vegetable garden our way out of this one. If we can't count of the safety of our commercial food supply, lots of us are going to get really really sick. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is how I find out… on the Wii News Channel…

I should not have to work this week. Only float in lake.

Global oil demand is set to fall this year, according to the IEA. www.businessgreen.com/news/4532701...

Checking the segment leaderboards on Strava is always self-esteem Russian roulette as to whether you’ll get a nice little boost or have your ego fucking destroyed by ‘top 90%!’

Read/listen all about how a "land value tax" can discourage land speculation & encourage dense building on the highest value land, ie, land near urban cores. www.volts.wtf/p/want-less-...

Congratulations to Lindsey Graham for writing his own obituary ten years and two months in advance. The question of who deserves it remains, since the natural world and a whole lot of people in this country and beyond do not deserve it.

🚨 DEFEND OUR BUSES 🚨 Bob Kettle’s “defund the bus” amendment would CUT service in Seattle and halt service expansion. Join us at city council this Monday! Details here: bit.ly/SaveBuses13

Couldn't stop thinking about how a 747 would look with its cockpit pushed back to the tail like a 1930s race plane so I got out of bed to 'shop it up

I sure am glad SEPA protected the environment from a bike lane in Ballard

Another day, another impeachable offense

Ban Cars

For context, the I-5 Ship Canal Bridge (237K) and the Aurora Bridge (68K) carry a total of about 305,000 vehicles on an average day.

I now feel better about USMNT losing to Belgium; this game is proof that even if we had advanced Spain would have absolutely wiped the floor with us

pretty much all law and society depend on the voluntarily compliance with general rules. once you're in "everything has to be enforced with coercion" territory you're basically doomed.

“The slate is the graham platner of trucks” got em I think yall got it exactly right, this thing was designed to the Biden era tax credit and it’s kinda lost without that. If the effective price was 18k or even better 15k it’s a very different story, but yeah cross shop this with a maverick and oof

Build sounder stations in Ballard and golden gardens and run them every 15 minutes

A better world is possible and it’s already on its way

Here's a hotter take for GPS discourse: Self-driving cars are already here, they just need a human as a layer between the software and the hardware

RIP Bonnie Tyler

I for one would simply not affiliate with any movement that uses the phrase "lite-rape" for any reason

Seattle was electric during the World Cup. To support 750,000 visitors, the city pedestrianized streets, activated public spaces, and removed parking. Rather than revert these changes, city leaders should identify what worked and make those changes permanent. seattletransitblog.com/2026/07/09/s...

cars kill over 40,000 americans a year and nada.

sports gambling should only be conducted in seedy smoke filled rooms with a guy name paulie no fingers

US official making shit up on the fly because the entire federal government is run by fewer than 50 people, all of whom are fucking morons, enthralled to an old man who twice today referred to the islamic empire of japan

it's time for the kids to stop 'looksmaxxing' and start 'booksmaxxing.' i think we can solve this if we get J.K. Rowling to do a rap. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

I hope he sues Flock for everything they’re worth

Hey, leftists who think policy is the only thing that matters, and character should be meaningless: Maybe you could apply that the next time a liberal lady running on a progressive agenda, who reminds you of your mom, is running against an evil fascist.

This guy’s bio is more American family man than 95% of the scum in the White House. A guy with a traditional marriage who worked every day with his hands and never had trouble with the law. These people are killing the real Americans

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

My Alma Mater did a study showing touchscreens in cars are dangerous. We need a retroactive regulations change, force automakers to produce tactile button retrofit kits for all essential and common functions for any car with a touchscreen or capacitive buttons. www.washington.edu/news/2025/12...

If you want to speed up housing, get rid of the bloat of our land use permitting process. End the 7 cycles of correction nonsense and get rid of aesthetic reviews like design review. Do that and you’ll help renters more than by cutting a pet fee

I wonder why Seattle ridership recovered to pre pandemic levels by 2024, before any of the major expansions opened, while Portland is still well below their pre pandemic ridership levels

My take? Fuck all these guys. They had a chance to make a graceful exit and refused, now they should never work a respectable campaign again.

The U.S. spent $103 billion in the first 120 days of Trump’s war on Iran. That could fund… -Food stamps for an entire year -Medicaid coverage for nearly 30 million children -ACA subsidies for about 2.5 years It’s not a question of what we can afford. It’s a question of priorities.

This is a shot at streaming platforms that do this: Subtitles and closed captions ARE NOT THE SAME THING Stop throwing a dubtitle into the CC track and calling it a fucking day.

I May Be a Senator, But After Reincarnating in Another World All I Care About is Leveling Up and Finding Love!

Not only have we not cared, HVAC folks have also undermined the shift. When I replaced my HVAC system I had to argue with the companies that quoted me to get heat pump quotes because gas is so cheap here. They could not understand that I actually wanted the locally better but not cheaper option.

Seattle is carrying 68% more riders than before the pandemic. Transit’s not just back, we’re already on the way to somewhere better.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

"Residents for Thoughtful Growth" #seattle #doomloop

i don’t have strong feelings about that “waymo hands kids over to the cops” story because i did a bunch of stupid shit as a teenager, but if i were riding around drunk shooting people out of the windows with a gun that could be mistaken for a real one, i would have expected to get arrested

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

Drivers who yell at me to “move over”: this is why I don’t ride as far to the right as you wish I would. I’m riding safely, and you can chill the fuck out.

You might point out that the $12 in savings achieved by shrinking the sales tax increase would be more than wiped out by a single trip to the gas station that could have been avoided by better bus service. You’d be right. But Kettle is a right-wing carbrain. Logic doesn’t break through.

See, this, this is a living city. Pioneer Square yesterday. The masses of people together as one superorganism, it's a treat, a marvel, a thing you only ever see when a sufficient mass is together. Throngs, Im searching for throngs.

If a company has to lay off 10,000 people, the executive team should be fired, because they clearly weren’t businessing very well.

What is Platner waiting for?
