The Seattle library levy is on track to pass with 80% voting yes. The Seattle Times came out against it and was resoundingly ignored. Seattle voters want nice things and are willing to pay for them.
So far, voters overwhelmingly approve Seattle library levy
A property tax levy to fund the city's public library system over the next seven years is solidly ahead after the first release of vote totals Tuesday evening.

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Today, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.

Just found out Melvin Bragg wrote biographical drama on Debussy directed by Ken Russell, which is a cool thing to find out about at 209a in the morning. Ok. G'nite!
Listened to John Lithgow recite Andrew Marvell's The Mower's Song.
*Adds Thomas Adorno to want to read list* Culture Industry sounds like the subject.

For some reason I use the 📺 on Saturday instead of the 🖥 and I have no idea why.
Watching White Sun of the Desert. Pretty cool flick.

In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.
In Germany, Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels
Together, wind and solar generated 44 percent of Germany’s electricity, while fossil fuels generated roughly 43 percent, according to data from the Energy Institute, a think tank based in London. The figures represent a major milestone for the German “Energiewende,” or “energy turnaround,” a national push to ramp up renewable energy and phase out gas, coal, and nuclear power.

Just watched Frank's Place. The episode about the capital c club. Very good TV show. Tim Reid in Frank's Place, Lenny Henry in Chef. That's what's up.
Hey so turns out discovering why we used to have all those food safety regulations in the first place is not all that much fun
When an entire arena boos you for telling the truth, you quickly learn who has courage. Kris Kristofferson walking onto that stage and standing beside Sinéad as the insults rained down remains one of the most powerful acts of human decency I’ve ever seen. Three years resting in peace 🙌🏼🤍🙌🏼
