Founder Alex Ganum is one of a handful of the most gifted brewers I’ve encountered in my travels around the world, and on a number of occasions, tasting his beer left me startled by its originality and accomplishment. With its singular vision and personality, Upright was an irreplaceable brewery.

Aside from how gross that is (and it's pretty gross), the idea that AI can't have regrettable posts is pretty hilariously wrong.

hardly anything is on fleek these days

For me, it's a misremembered line. Whenever I see someone acting like an asshole for no discernible reason, I say in my head "some elephants are just jerks."

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

oh come on.

An alternate headline would be GOP is not interested enough in serious governance to pick up the votes necessary to avoid a shutdown.

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater. The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable. interestingengineering.com/science/chin...

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

Great post!

Sarcasm on linkedin this morning: "...sacrifices everyone must make when the calling is nothing less than to rethink a CRUD app as an AI-enabled CRUD app." That's all most of this shit is. I see your app is working fine, but does it use AI? Cause we sure paid a lot of money for these licenses....

This is such a cool problem. My intuition was far enough off that when I did the calculation, I thought I must have gotten something wrong and did it again.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Oh god, it’s worse. This is Open Ai dictating to the studios they can “opt out” of OUTPUTS. This isn’t even about the training, as Open Ai thinks it’s all theirs to use for free. The hubris of these thieves is just obscene. I can’t see them not getting sued for this, it’s just that ridiculous.

So many people who were friends before kids, moved out of the city because it really is actually quite expensive, especially with kids, and now we never see them and we miss them. (Then they put their kids in private schools in the burbs and saved precisely zero money, but that's a different rant.)

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

More relevant story is when my own kiddos were in day care in the U district, I'd drop them off, then bus. But I was very aware of a hole in the wall biscuit place around the corner. Things got out of hand! But then I reversed the order, and brought kiddos to get a biscuit *before* dropoff.

Frog and Toad Together

There's literally a 4 story, block-length apartment building just a block away on 35th. My in-laws have lived there since they moved to Seattle to be closer to grandkids. Kids visit the apartment all the time.

On my walk from office to train downtown, I walked past a daycare with windows that were mostly transparent. (There were signs telling people not to take pictures.) That block of seeing happy kiddos behind glass & seeing their paintings up in the windows etc was really a highlight of my walk.

Had to read this a few times to realize that this was not a joke and that this person's name is not made up.

Yeah, go vaccines! You're welcome, antivaxxers!

A nice thing about this kind of incident getting onto the Seattle subreddit, and then having very active comment sections, is that a lot of folks process exactly why this kind of protection is needed.

A public service announcement

If you demonstrate so conclusively that you do not consider yourself to be bound by the social contract, society has no obligations to you, IMO.

Now this is Content

My theory is that Jacobin wasn't getting enough attention and decided to act out.

A Very Special Smarty Pints is coming up on 10/6, featuring Drs. Stacey Hardin and Jodi Newman of the UW Dept. of Education, talking about JEDI Education! You should come and learn about this and drink some great beer!

This rules so hard. It's been a longstanding conviction of mine that the best way to convince people to replace car trips with ebike trips is by letting them try out an ebike for free. Love the Oakland Public Library. oaklandside.org/2025/09/25/o...

The things that make public housing hard to build are pretty much exactly the things that make market rate housing hard to build. Public housing doesn't animate me the same way market rate animates me, but I still think there should be a lot more of it. There should be a lot more of both.

there are two kinds of public housing advocates: those who actually want public housing, and those who just want to use it as a cudgel to block new housing

"of course ChatGPT is full of errors when it comes to my specific area of professional or technical expertise, that's why I only use it for other stuff, where I can't tell if it's bullshit or not" 📰🗞💥

It should be the stated goal of a Seattle mayoral candidate to get us on this list. (And that they should emphasize incentives, not penalties, so they can actually get elected).

They've lost the 9yos

It's interesting that some of the quite large markets that Sinclair did not broadcast into last night are very wealthy and very blue Seattle and Portland. I am curious what kind of backlash local advertisers will see.

It was fun while the spanish speakers (who I guess are mostly excavators and concrete pourers and carpenters/framers) were on site. Now it's the trades workers, who are blasting 80s hair metal & country. I got to hear "try that in a small town", which I had previously managed to avoid. :(

Playoffs baby!!!!!

SEATTLE MARINERS

The Mariners are in the playoffs. Repeat. Not a typo. The @Mariners are in the playoffs.

OMG GOMS

I would not be surprised if his staff told him they'll find other jobs and that he should play fuckin loud.

Indeed, it is not. Total miles of track -> good Miles of track laid to less transit-hungry destinations while ignoring shorter line possibilities in dense areas -> not as good

every pet owner discovering some chewed up furniture up be like: dog is this true

game recognize game!

This could be us, Seattle.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

*Fascinating* blog post.

Had my first linkedin style engagement robot on here tonight. Hope that's not a sign of the future.

I crunched the numbers so you don't have to but it seems like if you're able to preserve trees, things are looking pretty good for housing in Seattle's single family zones! The standard 5k sqft single family lot will allow a 4 story 12k sqft building 🤯 (if you retain trees). That's 6 2k sqft units!
