i bet laying on a hot dog roller at the gas station feels amazing

McClatchy, controlled by a hedge fund, doesn't want you to talk about all the journalists they're laying off today around the country!

I, the only data reporter at the Charlotte Observer, am among the McClatchy layoffs in the bloodbath today. The HR person asked me not to talk about it! AMA. Anyway, here’s a link to one of my most important stories this year. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Good game Drake. #GoHawks

This is Drake Maye’s worst nightmare: playing against a team that is good

facing a backup QB, every ticky tack call going for them, and ICE purges - Robert Kraft delighted that 2025 never actually ended

Pay attention to this

Brian Heywood isn't just putting initiatives for child genital inspections & his own massive tax cut on your ballot - he's also funding an attempted right-wing takeover of our state's Supreme Court. His plan? Roll back our freedoms and gut our schools & healthcare via a captured high court.

It's a beautiful day for the Patriots to get throttled. Make it happen, Seahawks.

Pretty pathetic stuff from Matt Calkins, who is trying to get in on cultivating the worst of America

Brian Floyd@brianmfloyd.bsky.social · last wk.

got nothing to generate interest but whining about his former employer and rewriting spiked columns that aren’t good. none of his audience cares when he writes about sports. he ain’t got it and isn’t good enough to get it, so he’s trapped in a prison of his own making, good luck

No further questions, Your Honor.

I would recommend reading “Crossings” by @bengoldfarb.bsky.social if you want to understand how bad roads are for ecology. The Forest Service had begun to remove roads that were no longer in use to boost the ecological usefulness of forest tracts

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · last wk.

Trump wants to let special interests build over our protected forests—and we need to fight back to stop it.  The public comment period to overturn the Roadless Rule closes at midnight on September 21. Speak out now to SAVE OUR FORESTS.

I'm pretty sad the icon that is The Lively Market got sold. Hopefully, it continues as the best bodega in Tacoma. Oh, and here is a rainbow at the aforementioned Lively.

Broken clock is right: the Seattle Times endorses NO on the ridiculous attack on trans kids. WA has had policies allowing kids to play the sport they identify with for nearly 20 years. It's worked out fine. Vote NO on I-638.

Seattle Times recommends 'No' on I-638, ban on trans girls in sports | Editorial

If this were a “Washington problem“ it would be worth studying as a pressing issue to be resolved by the electorate, informed with science. But it is not.

It started like any other 911 call, with Kirkland Police alerted last week to a potential burglary in the city's Moss Bay neighborhood.

Google Maps doesn't seem to take changing the generally accepted name change of SixFlags St. Louis to Mid-Ameirca Adventure as seriously as the unpopular name change of Lake Ontario.

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.

Based on Public Disclosure Commission records, the Xitco brothers (own X Group, which owns E9, and also have a stake in 7 Seas) contributed $1250 to Let's Go WA in 2026. There may well be additional contributions I haven't been able to locate. www.pdc.wa.gov/political-di...

I'm missing some big chunks of the country, though I'm not in a real big hurry to visit the South.

Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

Abdul El-Sayed distances himself from Hasan Piker’s comments on American Jews

If everyone can call him Enes Kanter Freedom then they can call trans people by their chosen names too

Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Foster, Councilmember Saka and I are teaming up to ban surveillance pricing at grocery chains in Seattle. Surveillance pricing is a harmful practice where your data is weaponized against you to price gouge. (1/2)

So many folks out here showing their whole asses over this

lol

Am I the only one who gets day drunk on Fridays and then listens to 1990s music exceedingly loud on their home stereo? Yes? Oh. Well, sorry, but I enjoy it.

Name something you used to mock but now wish there were a lot more of.

Certainly not my best orca photo, but they were so close to our boat that my telephoto lens couldn't get them in frame. 🦑 Very, very cool experience today.
