I am a Seattleite, owner of https://www.whatisaggregate.com, documentary producer and impact producer, raging Democrat, fan of evidence-informed policy, basketball fan (Go Storm!), and John Hughes' pen pal. My favorite movie of all time is Badlands.
@dwhdaily.bsky.social Really excited for Elsinore, in part because I adore Colman and Scott, but more because it's a queer/AIDS era story I don't know. Loved the McKellen anecdote from your write up. Nice choice.
In 2011, as a diehard Malick fan, I flew from Seattle to LA just to see The Tree of Life at the Cinerama because I knew how special it would be to see his return to filmmaking in that theater. Looking forward to 2028. TY @alamodrafthouse.bsky.social

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.
This is AWESOME and I hope other Planned Parenthood affiliates follow suit www.npr.org/2026/05/21/n...
Abortion pills "just in case"? Planned Parenthood will offer them in two states
In Washington state and Hawaii, residents can now get mifepristone and misoprostol from Planned Parenthood to keep in their cabinets in case they need to end a pregnancy at a later time.

I quite like this kind of moxie.

We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social
Remind them that the President installed his personal lawyer as the AG so he and his family could never pay taxes again when someone tries to tell you that immigrants come here to take government handouts.
"In early 2024...the average NBA player made about $12 million...The average WNBA player made $118,000—less than one cent on the dollar." That recently changed, thanks in part to this Nobel winning economist. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

This is not okay, my fellow Washingtonians.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 7mo ago1. This weekend, far-right group Lets Go Washington announced that it had collected enough signatures to get a trans sports ban on the ballot in the state. The bill includes genital inspection provisions. It is one of the first to go forward in a blue state. Subscribe to support our journalism.
I got around to reading the transcript (well, as much as I could bear) of the president's "speech" to the gathering of US military leaders and it truly is insane. rollcall.com/factbase/tru...

Had a great week of film viewing: CHRISTY — had zero interest and wouldn't have seen it if I had not been invited, but got caught up by the performances and story; THE MASTERMIND — my love for Kelly Reichardt persists and my love for Josh O'Connor grows, also, dang those Thompson boys;
No one cares about truth any more. The narrative is written and then facts are selected to illustrate the chosen tale. I honestly feel like I am going to lose my mind.
I said this before and I am sure I will say it again; the frequency with which male colleagues talk shit about their female colleagues in airline lounges is astounding. Listening to two men discuss abducting and killing a female colleague they dislike. "She is too confident." I love bears.
I fucking love this woman with every ounce of my soul.
When I was 10, my friend Wendy got tickets to see #Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour and asked me to join her. My mother, never one for active parenting, said yes and Wendy's mom dropped us off at the Hartford Civic Center. He did not bite a bat; he did throw a crucifix. I got my first contact high.
In case you're wondering what the GOP/MAGA tax cut bill will do to #Seattle in particular, the Select Committee on Federal Administration and Policy Changes of the City Council has pulled this presentation together. seattle.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...

This is a meaningless trick. A court cannot violate rule 6(e), which prohibits public disclosure.

One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
Two men at bar talking about how no American has dominated in tennis since Sampras retired more than 2 decades ago.
The anti-graffiti ordinance that the #Seattle City Council is about to pass is being handled by their Public Safety Committee. Seattle, where white people feel unsafe because they are forced to look at things that make them uncomfortable. Performative bullshit, once again.
If you haven't watched Judgement at Nuremberg, this might be a good day.
Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
The condescension dripping from the lips of the GOP is astounding. They are liars and I pray for a vengeful God. I cannot wait for the day when that snivelly little fuck Johnson hands over the gavel to Jeffries.
I was already excited about Sentimental Value, but I didn't know that Anders Danielsen Lie was in the cast. I will be running, not walking on November 7. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbc...
