From the mainstream local news coverage of this whole project you'd think that people haven't been mad about what a fucking mess this route has been for literal decades.

This story is fine, but the headline the Seattle Times chose implies that a new bus lane is forcing drivers to just "find a new" route to I-5. No, the engineering project actually includes a new route to I-5. Anything to make it look like a progressive mayor is causing chaos, I guess?

I also think it’s so interesting that the story doesn’t point out that one reason this was the one first thing the new Mayor did is because of the grassroots organizing of @fixthel8.bsky.social. But we aren’t whiny NIMBYs so I guess we can’t be cast as having built strong community support.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · last wk.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Anyone who cares about Israel’s well-being shouldn’t be silent about anti-Palestinian settler terrorism in the West Bank and the nothing-much-to-see-here policy of Benjamin Netanyahu,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

I was picking up my meds today and the pharmacist said "good evening" and I said "... is it evening?" and he said "yes, it's 4:25" ... is that evening?

Obviously Jimothy doesn't know about his internet fame, has no context for it, but do you think he has noticed a slight shift in the air, a little vibe-shift?

It could have been an incompetent oversight... or maybe they just don't want North Ireland to start feeling a lil too Catholic

lol I looked it up and it's a gif from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. i can't think of a scene with nudity in which the nudity would be the main problem.

(The other GIF was the extended version of this with the nudity, my apologies for that.)

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

I want trials for every last one of these mother fuckers.

This Forbes report basically says that they are aware that foodborne illnesses are very common and a threat to their bottom line. Even a cynical read of this shows that they really, really didn't want outbreaks tied to their restaurants.

✫✫LVN✫✫@urbanaudacity.blacksky.app · 3w ago

…I think everybody needs to continue not to let this administration scapegoat restaurants, no matter how the media tries to frame it. Why is every report about fucking Taco Bell and not DOGE? I mean, I know why, but I see folks on here falling for this shit.

There’s no lawsuit blocking the Jimothy Trail 🤔

There’s an opportunity to make him the honorary mayor of Ballard, fill the missing link in the Burke-Gilman trail, and name that leg the Burke-Gilman-Jimothy trail in his honor.

Matt is straight up making up data. Teacher unions aren’t unpopular !

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

hey @siffnews.bsky.social how about you listen to your union and meet its members at the bargaining table in good faith, instead of dragging talks beyond 6 months? I for one won't be crossing any picket lines to attend The Odyssey this weekend and will be demanding a refund if needed.
