hard to look at 31 miles of protected bike lanes *in 15 years* as anything but a failure paris rolls that out in a year.

when Lee Jae-myung was a firebrand Seongnam Mayor, he said if the influential right wing troll forum Ilbe ever got in his crosshairs, he will kill Ilbe. as president, he may be on path to doing exactly that thanks to Starbucks-gate

can someone clue me in on the ube sorbetes discourse? seems dumb af but also dont really know what everyone is mad about lol

bilious Islamophobia is just totally normal and accepted in the Democratic Party at present. not all of them are like this but Schumer is

What happened yesterday was effectively a coup by Snohomish County, with help from Pierce County, against King County -- even though King generates most of Sound Transit's revenue and votes. And King County's political leaders just rolled over and let it happen.

The good news is that 40 years gives us all plenty of time to find new homes with more trains and less 18-member boards

Love it when voters overwhelmingly approve things and they never happen

"Thunderous" is just insane 😭😭 this is as diabolical as "legs up, bonnet down for about an hour"

Chikin WHAT ya??? 😭🙏🏼

42,000 km of roads. That’s enough to redraw Taiwan almost perfectly. The island’s transportation network reveals its cities, mountains, valleys, and coastlines without showing any of them directly. #Taiwan #Maps #Geography

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson says "we are Sound Transit, not Sound Parking," and says she won't support Prince's $100 million parking garage amendment.

Wow. Dave Somers cuts off public comment. @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social urged him to take more time for more comment. He refused. Sitting behind me was Toshiko Hasegawa, Port of Seattle Commissioner, who came to speak in support of Graham Street and Strauss’s Ballard amendment. She got cut off too.

At the Sound Transit board meeting in Seattle where Ballard light rail advocates have a casket ⚰️ mourning the deferral of Ballard rail. The casket is covered in memes which are admittedly really good lol

I am a survivor of the 2022.10.27 Itaewon crowd crush. While it will take more research and healing for me to write about that night with the clarity and respect the victims deserve, i will leave some quick personal thoughts in a thread:

DOOM LOOP Special Report for @soseaemerald.bsky.social: "Car-Free on LWB" I went to the opening of Bicycle Weekends. See the whole thing here: southseattleemerald.org/voices/2026/...

Jenny Durkan generally doesn’t get enough blame for most things.

Nimby vs yimby are the primate governing coalitions in west coast municipalities. All other labels are secondary to these ideologies and are used by nimbies to confuse low info voters

my hot take on gooning discourse is that nobody who posts frequently on bluesky can criticize anybody for spending hours a day masturbating.

Bass (center-NIMBY) is puffing up Pratt (right-NIMBY) as a way to lock Raman (left-YIMBY) out of the race, meanwhile Huang (left-NIMBY) is acting as a spoiler to divide the left vote. 3/4 candidates functionally collaborating to shut out the only one who would do something about LA's housing crisis.

The DNC being excessively rude online to Trump’s White House policy architect would hit harder if it were coupled with the party’s full stop blockade of voting for his appointees

What's happening at Delaney Hall should be major news with 24/7 coverage. People have been linking arms and protesting for 6 days straight. Don't let the regime bury this story. ALL EYES ON DELANEY.

MW 사 is just diablolical bro

This is huge "Normal pinay way cooler than fascist freak in every way" hell yeah

Important milestone today - inflation-adjusted Personal Income for households is now lower, year-over-year, than it was last April. Households have 0.4% less income now. It's starker for my estimate of bottom 50% households - 1.6% less income.

I wrote about Sonny Rollins - a huge influence on me as a saxophonist, and a man whose creative philosophies I'll forever be trying to understand and emulate.

Every time this guy opens his mouth I am even more convinced people missed the boat on Balducci… 🤦‍♀️

If sound transit would stpp fucking trolling and actually decided to build the projects the voters approved i would be able to find another topic to poast about

Yeah i lowkey wanna knife this guy for that taco time take ngl You know what is hella mid though? WA winter sports and resorts. Our spots stink and it just doesn't have the same aura as our summer activities

lmao

Beecher's herb curds for the homer in me, also had smoked burrata which was whats up

Hard to know what's happening with the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, I guess www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/...

Leaders said they are committed to keeping the paper's coverage consistent after the departure of the executive editor. An editor described the firing as "shocking and sudden."

what are they doing in those camps that has them driving over protestors to hide

The Seattle Times wants you to "weep, then activate" after reading about someone using environmental law to try and block Seattle's plan to allow apartments in slightly more areas of the city.

Yo we need Duwamish recognition ASAP

I’m bad at this idc

I am a dork about local seattle history, chilling in tw and kr, and food (dont care if i make it or buy it). People incessantly tell me to start a youtube channel about any of these "for a side hustle," but i know that setting up a camera and editing would probably kill my passion for all of them!

Not just the same type of guy - often literally the same guys!

Sometimes i dream of living in a country where our pathetic loser wimps are in fact not in government and are just taking too long in the gamestop bathroom where they belong

Local spending priorities: Forced RTO, but without any of the infrastructure to support RTO

This but i can also play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 against some other random guy who is chilling there (we both took massive edibles)

was watching a video of a survivor of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake visiting the ruins of her elementary school (now a memorial site) on the 18th anniversary. She poured cup after cup of baijiu onto the ground, toasting each of her childhood friends lost in the earthquake, telling them
