I hope the college students who protested the US-funded massacre of Palestinian civilians, while being vilified by their universities and politicians and even the president, understand that they are actually having an impact, just much slower than they hoped

The article that people keep posting to prove Abdul El Sayed opposes aid to Taiwan and Ukraine admits that he supports aid to Taiwan and Ukraine

No one that lives in the Rainer Valley and depends on the bus to get around should deal with delayed and slow buses because the special events office "opened" the bus lane to general traffic.

for when the next AC discourse inevitably strikes, I'd like to submit for evidence this Korean jesa ritual table photo* set up for Willis Carrier, the father of air conditioning *confirmed on twitter it's not AI but rather an elaborately staged meme

Joseph Heavenly 🥶

u but no face

Don't think ive seen AI fuck up hangeul this bad before lol "세기昌" 🥀

my biggest takeaway from argentina-england is that cr7 is a gigantic fraud

If I were Israel and did not want to be attacked, I would simply stop the illegal occupation of several states

we blast Nutville all night

Hmm... I don't approve of FIFA's "fix it for Messi" policy, but I DO approve of FIFA's "fix it for Andres Cantor" policy...

how in God's name has Argentina been allowed to get away with this the entire knockout stage

Every Argentina game at the World Cup

On the flip side, I’ve noticed that many people who are most willing to apologize for the voting and political choices of rural Americans…. are those who have either never actually lived in a rural/GOP area, or are people who are recent-ish transplants from urban/blue areas to rural areas.

And blue cities should have robust programs to help rural folks escape their hostile communities. But Democrats in blue cities are anti-growth and don't build enough housing to give people a choice. Seriously, blue city Democrats give away so much political power because they are selfish.

unpopular take but if people paid for the real carbon intensity of beef, they'd be eating less of it

Argentina and its not close. Mexico just not on that level

It's pretty clear at this point that gamers are so entitled, lazy, and politically illiterate to be able to boycott even things they know they should. Mfs sprinted to go but switch 2s at launch lmao

I have indeed had the cops called on me for Standing Around While Brown

if you speak as third spaces in the past as a myth to go 'shit sucked for us too y'know', you may want to simply consider 'yeah, and shit sucks even more for kids now than it did for you'. what little you had has shrunk since then, policing has expanded, NextDoor is a thing, etc, etc, fucking etc.

I'm still boiling about this. Maybe Illinois’ senators can explain why they think their constituents want ICE to run an expanded facial recognition database out of every Target and use it to do immigration enforcement along with federalizing petty theft (for everyone). But I doubt they'd deign to

I am younger than this guy but in rural WA we spent a lot of time at disc golf spots. Also a drive in movie theater in the summers

people eho like third places should listen to (and play) more jazz

OH DEAR LORD, the Seattle Process. Public hearing regarding the recommendation for the Lincoln athletic fields in Woodland Park. parkways.seattle.gov/2026/07/14/u...

Yeah i am 25 and i don't expect to see a bike trail through Ballard before i die, let alone HSR lmao

If we had started work on High-Speed Rail back in 2009, we would now have a string of tunnels, bridges, and embankments stretching nearly from Portland to Seattle and a supplemental funding request from state legislatures to fill the gap and hopefully complete the project by 2031. (Thanks, SEPA.)

Luckily i have been Taiwanese cabbagemaxxing recently which avoids the trump shits

One of the most diabolical was watching nimby boomers go absolutely feral at the legalization of 5 over 1s in my hometown. The implementation takes place in 2029! You are 76! I don't know how to say this kindly but it *will not affect you*

Hong Kong independent bookstore owners and staffers are amazing, and deserve our support and admiration.

learn to see the signs of a media panic

The filibuster is congress 'eritage

trump’s taking our extra hour of sleep

This photo is one of the ages. And should be made famous.

ICE has killed three people this week. But a liberal at my World Cup watch party used the words “football,” “pitch,” and “kit,” plus “sport” as a plural noun. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Man this shit is dumb as hell. What if instead of building normal mixed use we made old people shit in a Spencer's for the rest of their lives? Also are we bringing portable showers in trucks? Who falls for this slop lmao

I'm becoming a "teach trades in high school!" Boomer but the Boomers also have to take the class because clearly no one ever fucking thinks about what's behind the walls of their gated-community condos.

Banger alert

It slaps every time

The United States banned naturalization by ethnically Asian people in 1870. Then it banned entry by ethnically Chinese people in 1882, Japanese in 1908/1924, and almost all other Asians in 1917. Courts clarified these were racial, not geographic bans. Extremist memes will not erase history.

I wish Seoul had containerization, having to buy district specific trash bags is such a pain in the ass I hope Taipei never gets containerization since it would mean the end of the banger tunes the trash trucks play

Blanched lettuce in beef noodle soup 😭🙏🏼

seattle'a single family homes have not been affordable for *decades* - it has nothing to do with hedge funds and wealthy corporations and everything to do with policies that prioritize existing homeowners over new condos and missing middle homes. zoning. construction costs. single stair bans. etc

I have met based Germans who love American beer and will stand up for its quality. I actually started drinking coors banquet partially because one told me it's the best macrobrew in the states (also cause johnny lawrence drinks it)

Once had a french mf try to explain to both a canadian and me that canada doesn't have school buses. When the canadian said that wasn't true, she said "well maybe juat your school had them" This woman had never been to either the us or canada

Trying again w more details 1. Taipei (does it need explaining?) 2. New Taipei (瑞芳臭豆腐/first city i remember living in) 3. Tainan (probably best food city in the world) 4. LA (best street food in the US. Great indie jazz scene and exciting jazz kissas opening up) 5. Seoul (limit testing)

Absolute menace

the latest arc of this incredible manhwa (not yet translated in ENG) focuses on 1948 riots in Osaka and Hyogo after MacArthur-led occupied Japan forcefully closed down Korean ethnic schools.Koreans held the Governor of Hyogo hostage and US troops arrested thousands en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshin...
