Just heard an advertisement for Bank of America Private Bank….and I have to say it only set me to wondering how un-private rest of the bank must be. Super weird choice IMO.

when salutation is required and 'Dr' is not a choice (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I’m disappointed that no Puget Sound activist group (pro biking, urbanist, street safety) has engaged, in the Brem Mayor race. except @wabikes.bsky.social Coughlin endorsement. Bremerton has exactly zero protected bike lanes, largely due to 2-term Mayor Wheeler.

My brain gave me the general outline for two very different stories this morning and I dunno if I’ll ever write them but…I like the idea of jumping from my current novel (that supposedly I am editing) to something completely new

IMO, 6th is the cornerstone of all future multimodal travel in Bremerton. If this little 1.1mile stretch isn't built safely, Brem will never be an all-ages-abilities bike town. Going on two years since my first @theurbanist.org article on the topic. www.theurbanist.org/2023/10/26/t...

I missed the Sep 2, 2025 meeting of the Kitsap Transit board, but I am watching & reading minutes. At the end...we find out that Kitsap Transit gave board members a copy of "When Driving is Not an Option" -- and one of the members called out how insightful it was! kudos @nondriver.bsky.social

going to be diving into the world of county insurance claims with express interest in county roads. From 2015-2024, Public Works was responsible for 57% of claims in Kitsap County; 90% of those are for county roads! Math tells us that means that > half of liabilities are for county roads.

This is going to be the final season of baseball because the Mariners and the Brewers are going to make it to the World Series and it’ll get to game 7 and go 30 extra innings and they decide the power of friendship and the power of butts cannot best each other

Just a regular person, sitting next to one of my favorite passengers, ready to ride my bike somewhere those wheels have never seen

I'm sad about the loss of local journalism. I quit my local news subscription today and already feel bad about it. I want local journalism to thrive SO MUCH, but when the newspaper can't support enough journalists, we don't have coverage.

“We estimate that 36% of Americans over the age of 10 do not or cannot rely on a personal vehicle to meet their daily travel needs.” New @nrdc.org report on the overlook mobility needs of nondrivers. #weekwithoutdriving

Everyone is starting to notice our egregious typographical error. We are sufficiently ashamed. Please accept this corrected version of our guide:

This is today! Downtown Bremerton. Accessible by Kitsap Transit. Demand safe streets!

Kinda wild to have this suggested double lock to a staple sign right above grid bicycle parking.

Bremerton! Kitsap! City will have another open house at 1700 Tues Sept 30 (next week) to talk about this. The only right answer is pedestrian protection. www.bremertonwa.gov/1342/6th-Str...

Odds of dying are still 1

Kitsap friends. It’s kinda boring but also important. Our commissioners have to figure out how to fund many competing priorities. Sheriffs office shares good links for finding more info and watching budget hearing on BKAT. your priorities may be different, but you prob still wanna know.

Hilarious to get GitHub notifications that PRs you made 7 years ago are closed without merging. Uh, ok

More trains. Fewer lanes. ;)

Kitsap Transit why is the 301 shouting? Is it because it’s a commuter?

book people - how do you pre pre-order? like, I know I want to order certain books as soon as they are available in my preferred format (paperback), but the pre-order isn't up yet. How do I not miss out? #booksky please help. I must finish this series

Brain just started to write a new story in my head…not sure where it’s going but it starts out… A lot of people were worried about my immortal soul. Perhaps most worried was Tessa. You don’t get any more context than I got. This is where we are. IDK this character!!

We are all gonna die. It’s a matter of on whose terms.

Prob first ever transit tracker for Kitsap Transit I’ll need to fiddle with routes but so excited! Thank you for the help @eastsideurbanism.org !

Who picks the discrete set of interests that we get to pick from? I look at it and feel like I’m interested in stuff but not thaaat stuff

I never really think of myself as an artist...but here I am, waiting for paint to dry as I devote *more* time to improving watercolor skill, while taking a break from editing a speculative fiction story

On Sept. 17, this Transit Trekker webinar is bringing nondrivers to leaders & transpo/planning professionals in rural communities & small cities — locations where participating in the #WeekWithoutDriving comes w/ the highest barriers. Please join & share broadly w/ colleagues in these regions.

As some of you may know, @renegadegamestudios.com is in the process of making a Dungeon Crawler Carl TTRPG. Now is your chance to help shape that game. Please fill out their survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Gosh, I've been so heads down that I neglected to invite you all to this webinar that @transittrekker.bsky.social is hosting in the lead up to the #WeekWithoutDriving. Please share widely with your colleagues in rural regions and the smaller communities nearby. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

hear me out - if the llms can do the work of a junior [*job name] so companies will have the middle level [*job name] do their work and puppeteer llms to do the work of juniors, uh, how will we train new middle level people? I'm missing something

feature GitHub should implement is letting you see all of your hopeful forks - forks where you never contributed. You forked it and then ignored it, and now you have no idea what 'scraggly-purple-thermador' is and whether you should not delete that repo because unexpected bad things will happen

my sister is reading No More Tears, and I am reading A Fatal Inheritance -- and that makes for some quite depressing discussion. However, the No More Tears is anger making -- f jnj bad actors Links to book details: - www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647408... - us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

new favorite quote from #SciShow Tangents Ceri Riley says , " just put your brain in a jar and then put wheels on it and it will drive toward the light " at the end of S3 E21 Cyborgs hilarious if you listened to the episode and completely unhinged otherwise

Pretty strongly help opinion that what sets good work apart is organization. A well thought out, and test driven, as applicable, project is easier to follow, update, use, change, etc. This applies to projects using LLMs and not. Think strategically, ploddingly, not just “end goal”

I figured it out. You know how you can mute words/phrases/tags? We should be able to mute images and videos. That is possible. Please #bsky

Wish there was much better bus to ferry comms for Kitsap transit. Another day, another time that I (not dawdling) hop off the bus and arrive to the foot ferry just as it is departing. These are +1-2 minute mismatches. 😥

Challenge with Kitsap transits awesome and fast text to know when the next bus will arrive is that the stop numbers are hard to find. Little help here. Text 541 to the KT line to get next bus.

Seriously. I enjoy discover but it’s becoming all sunsets and nature scenes and cute cats, and that’s impressive stuff but I don’t actually want to discover it

I know I'm way behind my friends in Seattle, but I just ordered the parts to make my very own transit tracker - I can't wait to follow these instructions from @eastsideurbanism.org : transit-tracker.eastsideurbanism.org/docs/introdu...

trying to decide how much effort to put into developing model context protocol (mcp) designs to support projects I like. since mcps are intended for llms trying to do 'some task' when I (1) don't want to support reliance on llms and at the same time (2) do not think this genie hops back in the box.

so I made a python script that automated this, and I ended up retagging those first 7, but I got the rest of the 80 into Open Street Map. I will figure out and delete my dups...eventually.

how do I set up bsky so that: 1. my discover feed does not include accounts that I'm following 2. I do not see posts that have photos or videos that are not from an account or list I follow #help number 2 is sooooo much more important to me than number 1, but number 1 seems like an easier thing

really want to know - has there ever been a time when you clicked on a file and it opened in Xcode, and you were happy about that?

Parasocial relationships are so much easier than real ones But less rewarding
