For the hard of thinking - what Trump and his lackeys are saying about Somali people is what the Nazis said about Jews, and if that isn't enough to jolt you out of your slumber, then you're already on the wrong side of history.

This is about what I would expect, to be honest. www.costco.com/p/-/fifa-wor...

If the headline is true, this is the first time in my life I’ve ever been jealous of Trump.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

This is disgusting. America is supposed to be better than this.

Where we are as a country During the Trump era, political violence has become an increasingly urgent problem. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... At least 11 Indiana Republicans were targeted with threats or swatting attacks amid redistricting pressure from Trump www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

You’ll never guess how the IDF decided to talk about killing these two kids, 8 and 11 years old, in its official statement

Seattle is not small or narrow. It’s huge and we can easily double our population if we are being realistic. It would fund transit, schools and services and bring an economic vitality and vibrancy to every part of our city

Of the 13 clubs who spent more than the Sounders, only one is playing for this final trophy. (Vancouver is 21st on this list). The team that knocked us out in the first round? 26th. Long way of saying spending is not a guarantee of anything.

he’s fascinating to me to observe simply as an example of the varieties of human experience. Totally incapable of empathy or even the appropriateness that can serve as a guide to conceal the inability to feel empathy.

One frequent complaint used against new housing projects is that “they’re only building new fancy expensive condos/apartments, not regular housing for average people”. But supply and demand means if you DON’T build it, you have less. And this paper shows if you do build it… prices are lowered.

I learned a lot from reading this. I’d like to think I’ve come to recognize actual antisemitism when I see it (vs legit criticism of Israeli govt policies on Palestine that gets labeled as being antisemitic), but this post lays out how we got here in the first place.

I guarantee you could post this on every social media outlet in existence and in a few years you'd have people swearing up and down that the problem with the grid is solar or wind or some such nonsense

Almost there, just a few more votes!

Whenever I wear my Cascadia-theme NKNT shirt, people ask me where I got it. Get stuck in. You’ve got an hour and a half.

LAFC and Minnesota losing to Vancouver and San Diego in the same round feels like true soccer justice

Sounders season ticket holders? I am yet again returning (well, trying to return!) to the Alliance Council. Please vote early and vote often! soundersalliance.org/vote/

This is disgusting, and the USL leadership should be ashamed of themselves.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

Anti-solar NIMBYs aren't beating the accusations of being pretty dim bulbs. "Extracting from the sky" is a good one

DOGE resulted in the FAA becoming slower, less effective, and now that we’re coming out of shutdown it’s taking longer to get back up to speed because of DOGE processes to get some of our contract staff back up and working.

Is 48 bucks worth going to run around outside, getting yelled at by Crossfire and Eastside parents, watching 9 and 10 year olds play soccer? Tune in later and find out!! Preston, in a few minutes. LFG!!

"Dick rises to the occasion!" Eric Dick with a couple of big saves to keep the #USL Championship Final tied in extra time

This one stopped me dead in my tracks.

And it’s contrary to the constitution and the emoluments clause. Not sure why originalist sorts so dismissive of emoluments clause but the risk of putting self interest above that of the country is something the founders and early Americans were quite concerned about.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

It’s that time again! Thanks, friends eballot.app/soundersfc/l...

Hmm… there’s a couple. Both of these are “listen to every single song every single time” albums for me.

Slaying two bigwigs with one brilliant piece. Yowza.

This says it all

This is Jólakötturinn, the Icelandic Christmas cat, who eats children who do not get new clothes. Christmas is here, children!

Nothing to worry about, just the chief regulator of the media pressuring a television network to fire a critic of the president.

Why are they naming all the operations after gay nightclubs?

Always a Sounder. This guy was a leader by example.

I think it would be funny to give them unexpected results. Vote early, vote often nbcmontana.com/question/vot...

Pretty cool that 12.99 will now get you access to a mind bending drama based on highly structured and inscrutable rules with themes of identity and free will set to a backdrop of corporate desperation and overreach and also severance is on there I guess

For posterity, here's what is still my favorite MLS goal ever.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years." When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

math! J.P. Morgan calls out AI spend, says $650 billion in annual revenue required to deliver mere 10% return on AI buildout — equivalent to $35 payment from every iPhone user, or $180 from every Netflix subscriber 'in perpetuity'

Next Wednesday, November 19, I am participating in a panel discussion at AIA Brooklyn with @holz-bau.bsky.social and SO-IL's Jonathan Molloy about building code reform. It will be in-person in Downtown Brooklyn from 6 to 8:30 p.m., register free to attend here: www.eventbrite.com/e/rethinking...

If you live in Seattle, and you vote, and you care about who your next mayor is, log in to the King County Ballot Tracker (it’s very quick and easy) and check that your ballot was counted. This race is so close that it might make an actual difference. info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

If you live in Seattle and got a notice about your ballot, get it fixed or they won’t count it. And maybe check your status to be sure it’s in there.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Trump threatening to dock the pay of air traffic controllers who aren’t getting paid anyway is pretty spot-on. It’s like when he claimed to reduce the cost of prescription drugs by 600%. They pay you to take them!

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

So yesterday I picked the movie for family movie time and chose “Back To The Future”, and D and G haven’t ever seen it. (They put it back in theaters last week but we couldn’t go.) For a 40-year old movie, man, it’s held up pretty well, and they loved it. Wee bit slow to start but they were…

3 posts/crossbars hit in one penalty shootout. Sigh
