The turnout for Bicycle Weekends today is amazing. And yeah, there are some counterprotestors trying to rain on everyone's parade. But there are no signs so far that anyone is going to let that happen.

AI is a FAD

Making hay, feeding it to the cow, and milking this for all it's worth😂

The Sound Transit board room is packed this morning, with mayors and councilmembers from around the region as well as transit and labor advocates who have a direct stake in what the outcome produced this month is.

"With a free Skynet Edu account, students can gain the career-readiness needed to navigate an exciting future in which they will be hunted by a remorseless, nuclear-armed superintelligence seeking to annihilate the human race—which will later be revealed to be Skynet itself."

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Okay, again... this is how TF you write a GD'ed headline!!!

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Use the credit card to buy a bicycle.

Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

"Biggest scam in modern political history."

hmm

Driving under the influence is reallly bad. And I really don't understand why people do it when they are rich enough not to.

The number one rule for No Kings 3 tomorrow is DO NOT INTERACT WITH COUNTER PROTESTERS! Do not talk, do not argue, do not react to their words, their single-finger salute, or their rolling coal. DO NOT ENGAGE!!!! You safety team is ready to deal with any negative people.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

This is the 2 Line, to Lynnwood City Center.

Under-appreciated report even by its own publication that hasn't posted it here: "9 of the 12 members of Axon’s ethics board resigned in 2022 after the company announced plans to develop armed drones for its clients. Of those that didn’t resign, one was former Seattle police chief Cameron Best."

The idea that a state income tax, which nearly every state has; targeted to millionaires, which CA and MA both have; would somehow cause capital flight, is an absurd claim that should not be taken seriously as policy analysis.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

I know there is a lot going on so just a quick reminder, Epstein.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

I do not heart Huckabee’s… band.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

fuck war

Lots of great Issaquah folks at yesterday's Sound Transit board meeting, but 7th grader Michael Miller gave the best public testimony I've ever heard. He'll be 28 when the Issaquah line opens.
