it’s stealth resegregation and a way to spend money earmarked for special education on kids who aren’t high-need

Holy shit fling this guy into the sun. Fuck every democrat who defended this demon since the nazi tattoo story came out, fuck anybody who still does, fuck all the podcast bros, fuck Maine, fuck America.

*Beck voice*

I never tire of posts of people recreating strange foods from their dreams. The best of this genre was “the king’s hand.”

TIL that cats are subject to the British class system, too.

I’ve been to *how* many therapists? And not one has prescribed burrowing owlets, smh.

Love this guy and his Barbie car, don’t care for the framing that taking the bus, a public service meant to move people across a city, is “improvising.”

Pay Dyna, get good art.

lol fuck you Howie. independent coffee shops in Seattle are doing fine.

Looks like the rich ghouls in Laurelhurst got publicly shamed into letting sick kids get helicoptered to emergency care. Public shaming works!!

I have discussed this. I’m glad others are aware. bsky.app/profile/swil...

the more I think about it, the more I feel like “Odysseus is from Boston” is true in a sort of ecstatic truth way

what if Mark Felt hadn’t yapped? How much longer would it have taken for the Watergate story to come out?

Not the point here, but have any design nerds written about the Trump admin’s love of serif fonts?

Don’t fuck with Smith, especially, right, @modaviau.bsky.social ?

Other way around: Wes Anderson has nailed the whole Nixon White House aesthetic.

I would expound on my thesis, first formed in my freshman year of college, that “Adventures in Babysitting” is a reinterpretation of the Odyssey, and that “Harold and Kumar Go to White castle” is a reinterpretation of “Adventures in Babysitting.”

A lot of people really twisted themselves into knots to avoid admitting (to themselves and others) that they simply didn’t want to vote for a Black-Indian woman who laughs a little too earnestly. And now we’re here.

Disgusting. When Gluesenkamp was elected, I understood she was dodgy but it was a win against one more MAGA shithead (her opponent) in congress. But, like…is THIS any different?

I was astonished to recently learn that Adrian Chiles is just some mildly funny, generally pleasant, inoffensive BBC radio bloke, and not, as his Guardian column headlines suggest, a stark raving lunatic.

Balsamic PhD Dropout.

Vance is the biggest weiner in this entire government. He has an opportunity today, in the next few hours in fact, to stop a madman from kicking off WWW3, and establish his own presidential future. He’d get cheers across the aisle, prizes, a 2nd term. But he won’t, because he is a fucking weiner.

Behold: The Blob! A core memory for Queen Anne (Seattle) kids of the 90s.

The baller move for Jewish dads in the 80s was to hide the afikomen in the vcr slot. #pesach

Oh my God. IRGC spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari released a video showing himself skateboarding and drinking juice while a missile launch appears in the background. This seems to be a dig at Trump's bloviations. No, it's not AI. I think the juice is barberry?

God bless John Waters.

I once went to the ER for a deep cut on my finger from a bagel-slicing mishap. I’m convinced it will happen to me again, and will result in full digit loss. 🥯

“Everything happens for a reason” needs more haters.

Fran Lebowitz had it 100% right with this, and we all should have listened to her. I always knew he was unintelligent, but I admit I fell for the “he has a kind of animal cunning, a salesman’s knack” bit for awhile. There’s nothing in his brain pan except reptilian predation & random 80s trivia.

This might be a “Berenstein Bears” false memory, but I’m certain—CERTAIN!—that there was a longer version of this commercial that included the lines: “Take a sniff…pull it out…the taste is gonna move ya when you pop it in your mouth.”

ok, these billionaires who are destroying our civilization are *stupid* stupid. (Andreessen conehead watch: head is slightly less pointy here than in the last photo I saw of him.)

Maybe they shouldn’t have capitulated with Na-zhays

See? It wasn’t ever that hard to say no.

I’m spending my morning learning about the leader of the UK Green Party and someday-maybe future PM, who is: -gay -Jewish (+ from the same Mancunian community as my grandfather) -a former actor and hypnotherapist -apparently from this pic has a decent sense of humor

We at AVCX crosswords believe that N and Ñ are different letters

Tukwila City Council unanimously approved a 6-month moratorium on new detention facilities after reports ICE and DHS were exploring expansion in the area. Jaquelyn Jimenez Romero reports here: soseaem.org/3ZYfEjV #TukwilaNews #SeattleNews

Para los hispanohablantes que odian la IA.

Sir Deadass is my new favorite New Yorker.

“Bears have the potential tonight to put their defecation habits on more stable ground—if they don’t shit in the woods.”

“The sun has the potential to put itself on a new course and rise in the west tomorrow—if it doesn’t rise in the east.”

Herb & Butter Rice-a-Roni. I cannot defend it, but it has my lifelong allegiance (unless they seriously fuck with the recipe).

Happy Arrest Day of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to all who celebrate.

Community exclusion and shaming now, trials and convictions later. It’s a good thing this data is being collected outside the US.

I had this shirt in high school in the 90s. and yes, in the PNW.

1.5: I hate cottage cheese and will not eat it unless it’s puréed into blintz filling. I have tried snails before and might give them a 2nd try another time, but wasn’t a fan. I dislike ranch dressing and raisins but not enough to count them here.

fyi to #Seattle area #ICEwatch: the Wired list only has one WA location: the Riverfront Technical Park in Tukwila, which, iirc, is already a long-established ICE office. So expect some expansion of activities there. #StopICE

all the folks Capt A listed, + The whole cast of Abbott Elementary in add’n to Quinta, esp Janelle James Chris Fleming Kumail Nanjiani @kumail.bsky.social Martin Short Reggie Watts John Darnielle @themountaingoats.bsky.social Tessa Thompson Margo Martindale Wanda Sykes

Hey Chuck, I know the Baileys. They are solidly on board with abolishing ICE at this point. Eileen is driving her friend Luisa's mom to chemo and calls me up to say she's just aghast at how scared she is.
