Red sky in the morning, something’s on fire. Red sky at night, something’s still on fire. #seattle

80 percent yes! Fewer weirdos out there than I feared.

71% yes is great but I did the math and 29% no is disturbing.

Sigh.

Is it just me or is the air better this afternoon on Capitol Hill?

Thank god the drops are already posted.

Apple enshittification, exhibit 6,789,444,918,5573. Trying to download RH iCloud files. Select all the files in a folder and download. Apple opens up *every file* as it downloads. Go into settings to see if there is an option to make it stop. If there is, it's not findable.

Do we know anything about the kinds of people who vote no on a library levy? (Seeking data/polling/evidence, not anecdata. Thx!)

Thank you, Seattle voters! Proposition 1, the Seattle Library Levy, is currently passing with 72% of voters saying yes. Learn more about what this will fund at www.spl.org/2026Levy

Boring you w/ this a.m.'s Apple enshittification matters. They are asking me for documentation they already have, for the 3d time, after I explained to them they have it. You really need a process for situations that don't fit the cookie cutter, corporations. Sorry that estate shit doesn't scale.

it really makes you think

I have one answer.

Pour one out for my homie who just finished building a space horse & had it stolen from his buildings basement. His wife's cargo bike was also stolen. Anyone have any luck recovering a stolen bike in chicago, any tips are appreciated. #chibike

So what now I have to wait 24 hours for another drop??

Genuinely funny how little some folks think of voters and how simple they want to believe dynamics are. It’s never just one thing but I guess believing that it is makes the instability of our condition feel a little less out of control? 

Nilu Jenks has run away with the D5 vote at 49%

Wooooo @niluj.bsky.social

Mixed news. Looks like Saldaña’s gonna be my new county rep so 👍

Libraries winning with 71.71% That's the dewey decimal code for victory!

I realize I have been a bit of a drama queen since about 90 minutes ago but I am starting to worry that something is wrong.

Earth to King County Elections: everything OK up there?

Please write in my obituary how I died waiting for the drops.

If King County elections wasn’t so on top of things and often posted the drops earlier than expected I wouldn’t have to be refreshing the website every two seconds

There needs to be a word for the 5 - 15 minute wait in Seattle once it hits 8 PM on Election Day but results aren't out yet.

Love you @elections.kingcounty.gov!! Anytime you're ready.... Any... Time... You.... 're... Ready...

1/2 I couldn't add a card to my Apple account to continue to have Apple TV. I kept getting a pop-up asking me to contact support. Support requested screenshots, so I had to do it again. Which backed me out of the support pin. My account got locked, so I had to unlock it to get a support pin.

Still waiting and there is nothing gentle about it!

Wishing all my Seattle politically engaged people a gentle ~5-10 anxiety minutes before the first batch of ballots drop
