If yall woulda listened to Black people we woulda had 2 term Hillary Clinton handing over to Kamala Harris! We would have a majority LIBERAL court locked in for all our lifetimes and we wouldnt be in a dumb as war with Iran, Emma!

(It’s cause they didn’t vote for Kamala and desperately want to ease their guilty conscience by showing the libs would have done the same)

Something I've noticed is that there's a section of the left who've been desperate to find a way to prove VBNMW people are hypocrites. They thought they had it with Fetterman, they thought they had it with Mamdani.

I was thinking about the Zeekr MIX today, and I got irritated all over again we are getting screwed here in the USA, y'all

anyone who thinks the USA has gotten monotonically worse in their lifetime either has forgotten or never experienced a restaurant where the host asked you "smoking or nonsmoking"

vILLAGE GENIOUS@suddenlygarmo.bsky.social · 18h ago

going to a restaurant is better because the food doesn't suck, no one is smoking indoors, and there's no godawful carpeting

but mr. stancil don't you understand author said pithy thing that affirms their worldview so if you tell them it doesn't apply in literally every situation you hate them and want them to die

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 22h ago

I wish I could convey what it’s like, psychologically, to have this happen pretty much every single day, no matter what you’re talking about, by people who absolutely refuse to even try to understand what you’re saying And then to be told it’s a fetish and you must enjoy it

This kind of mid-rise, native planting urbanism is banned in most places.

Lots of great stuff in here. A competent transit agency with good leadership would not hesitate to embrace these ideas. Will Sound Transit? Will Dow Constantine? Or will they keep pushing back and ensure we get the 2060 date rather than 2035?

Seattle Subway@seattlesubway.org · yesterday

Check out our latest op-ed for the Urbanist! TLDR: - Getting to Ballard "around" 2060 is unacceptable, but we're glad ST is finally acknowledging how dire the situation is - Their plan to get to 2042 is too vague - 2042 is still not good enough, the goal needs to be 2035 as originally promised

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

“Good value for the price” is what is breaking this People long for bespoke artisanal production, but they want mass consumer availability and prices and ultimately those preferences are what win out when we look at market behavior, the former being mostly just an impetus for nostalgia

there are certain users on social media that make you wonder if they're ops to make their ideology look worse than it actually is

Every New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around. That’s why the NYC Council is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.

Had one of these as a rental last year, perfectly acceptable transportation, most important functions were still buttons and not on the screen, reasonably fuel efficient

Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · last yr.

for some comparison, the Kia K4 costs $22,000 (i.e. less than the 1985 cavalier) and has more stuff like a 147HP engine, a/c, AM/FM/Satellite/bluetooth radio, power mirrors & locks, etc is this a good car? no. is it better than the 1985 chevy cavalier, and will last longer? yes.

I realize I probably come across as an "angry cyclist" a lot on here but then I remember that 7 cyclists have been killed in my state since early June and I have my life threatened on a nearly daily basis and then I don't feel so bad about being a jerk sometimes

If the administration denies this request that’s grounds for immediate impeachment

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 2d ago

Last night, @governorferguson.bsky.social made a formal request for an expedited emergency declaration for the Spokane fires. Our ENTIRE delegation is urging the President to approve that request immediately. All of us are working together to make sure Eastern & Central WA get more help ASAP.

Court documents allege that the severity of the damage to the vehicle that killed boxer Hannah Rapp contradicted the driver's claim that he reversed at a low speed.

A few weeks ago I realized that tomorrow is the date the Ray Bradbury story “There Will Come Soft Rains” takes place. It’s a shame science fiction from 75 years ago isn’t relevant anymore

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

It’s often safer for cyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign and a red light as a stop sign.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Another day another impeachable offense

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 3d ago

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

interesting

I will never get over Tapper being presented with the actual, full-on conspiracy of silence irt Trumps health that he alleged existed around Biden and largely just shrugging at it.

WildPartyInviteDecliner@ratelimitexceeder.bsky.social · 5d ago

I find interesting but not surprising that Trump's actual health is a black box in his inner circle. There's maybe like 5 people who know what's actually going on, and none of them are talking.

The amount of taxes we pay to the feds compared to what we get in return is outrageous. This needs much more attention, including from our businesses. The reason we keep increasing local taxes (the only ones we can keep 100%) is because so much of our state & fed taxes are going elsewhere.
