What people call “woke 1” was just elites deciding certain cultural norms were dominant, largely through Twitter exposure, and insincerely and clumsily performing them for status. Then Twitter changed, other norms seemed dominant, and elites insincerely and clumsily performed them for status.

BREAKING: The Seattle City Council has just voted 8-0 to pass the new ordinance banning landlords from imposing junk fees and requiring up-transparency in rental listings.

the last time Seattle City Council made it their number one agenda to sink a mayor like this, they did, indeed, sink him but they also completely demolished their own influence this feels even more unhinged and petty than that one, and I think it goes even worse for Council this time, ngl

I personally think the police chief should move to the region, and all previous police chiefs from out of town have done so. I also think lunging at a reporter asking a reasonable question could be a fireable offense in itself. But there were lots of other issues with Barnes, as I've covered:

Just wanna emphasize that at a Seattle council meeting today, multiple council members accused the mayor's office of lying about why a police press conference about a recent shooting was delayed, implying that it was the mayor's fault and they're trying to cover it up.

This is how I break it down — all NWSL comps vs all comps. Debinha is now the all NWSL comps scoring leader (83), while Lynn still has the edge for all comps including Concacaf/FIFA/ICC (85).

Becca@beccahoma.bsky.social · 22h ago

Hey @keepernotes.bsky.social KC Current says Debinha is now the leading scorer in all competitions but Opta via the screenshot from x seems to have Lynn with two more goals. What competitions does "all" (does Liga MX Summer Series count?) encompass and who is really the current leading scorer?

With that experience as my authority, allow me to formally declare: to reduce your ability to extend solidarity only to perfect victims is to reduce your ability to extend solidarity to no one. Sorry.

i encourage all of you, regardless of your age, to not take this shit advice

i think we’re going in a healthy direction

I often say of this league that nobody's as good *or* as bad as you think they are, but Chicago really do be making me rethink that. they might, for actually true, be as bad as we think they are...

still, though, 10 points in 5, 11 goals in 5, Fishel balling out I’m feeling pretty alright right now team’s young as fuck but really starting to come good

The Reign scored multiple goals for the fifth game in a row, but split the points with Angel City to remain in 9th place and just below the playoff line. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/08/reig...

Reign draw Angel City, 2-2

A scrappy, back-and-forth affair ends with a point apiece.

astonishing that wasn't a penalty, let alone being called as a foul on Mercado for ??? dangerously allowing herself to be blindsided ??? I guess ???

The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 3d ago

"In their seminal book Life After Cars, journalists Aaron Naparstek, Doug Gordon and Sarah Goodyear write that the noise, pollution, and epidemic of violent death brought to our streets by cars have become so ubiquitous that we no longer even notice them."

my god I'm fucking crushed for Pedro, he absolutely cannot catch a break :/

That we forget JtV as a brilliant piece of craft seems connected to the way we denigrate romance novels despite the genre having more readers and economic heft than any other category.

the best teams in Mexico would much rather gamble with sending a heavily rotated lineup out on the road against a full-strength LAFC than *dare* bring anything less than their absolute best against the Sounders' third-string extreme-hardship injury replacement roster. makes you think. ;)

Landlord, Michael E Heijer accidentally CCed the entire Seattle city council, asking fellow landlords to testify against rental junk fee banning. Said renters who testified in favor of banning junk fees were the “unemployed left trying to stick it to the man.” Still think this isn’t a class war?
