Over the past 20 years, Seattle lost the Sonics thanks to the stewardship of Howard Schultz, saw dozens of stores close while the company engaged in apparent union-busting, and steadily reduced its local headcount.
There's coffee everywhere, Seattle. Spend your money elsewhere.

I worry about the goats' health. Otherwise, co-sign.

I never got the Disney cartoon “Motor Mania” until I started biking and walking most places.
The transformation that happens for the vast majority of drivers when they get behind the wheel of their powerful mobile multi-ton living room is almost supernatural (it’s not, but it feels that way).
The one where Carol glues his cuts together!
A whole bunch of people should have been sacked for abandoning the East Precint.
Yeah, there should have been a massive wave of dereliction of duty firings, but, y'know, accountability for cogs and not for SPOGs.

It is my fondest hope that President AOC someday appoints the first Supreme Court justice who kicks off their all their public appearances by calling originalism “a bunch of fraudulent clown shit”
Thomas said Washington has been overrun by elected and appointed officials who lack commitment to "righteous cause, to traditional morality, to national defense, to free enterprise, to religious piety or to the original meaning of the Constitution." "They recast themselves as Institutionalists, pragmatists or thoughtful moderates, all as a way of justifying their failures to themselves, their consciences, and their country," he said.
Clarence Thomas is a right-wing freak. This is an indistinguishable from what unironic retvrn guys post on X about, like, women being allowed to have bank accounts. Anyone who tells you he is a profound thinker or a serious jurist or whatever is not to be trusted.
