$1,700 is roughly the FIT burden of a household of three filing joint making 65k, to put that into tax perspective.

But does this make them more likely to avoid seals while they find the fish ladder?

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

[Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

"America has the greatest public road system in the world. Yet congestion remains" is actually such a good line for every counter statement.

I just... You've gotta be shitting me that some loser working on drone boats for Mordor really named themself Sword of the West.

Reading the Lord of the Rings to at least say I've read the references for the insane right wing is nice, because the text is good, and also an exercise in taking mental damage whenever I find yet another company name defined.

Okay but the Albuquerque postcards from @cohete.bsky.social made an interesting statement

International journalists have been barred from Gaza for two years and seven months.
It's been seven months since the "cease fire" came into force, and two months since the Rafah crossing started to operate.
Israel continues to prevent the entry of journalists.

Not that I know any of these words, but it would be an incredible group fit for the next Rubbout

Stop all conversation when axis nationals or quislings enter a cafe.

I had a nightmare that my somewhat fundie parents found a note in my handwriting in a Bible that just said "Ugh that is *so~ P" and made me explain the documentary hypothesis.

Seattle's traffic deaths are climbing. One City Council member wants an audit to find out why Seattle’s goal is zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. Right now, the numbers are far from zero — and going nowhere but up.

"The fires are lit: Gondor calls for aid" but it's just Click Clack Symphony.

Exactly one year ago today:

Trump called himself a peacemaker and said he would end centuries old conflicts.

Technically, he wasn't lying, just the conflicts he thought he would end were quite young and worsened by him, and the old ones won't end in his favor.

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

Sent a statement about a recent action to what I thought was a friend and realized I sent it to a group chat of my horniest Cap Hill acolytes. It was more embarrassing than just posting here.

Meanwhile, in administrations that say they're combatting antisemitism, antisemitic dribble on the daily.

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

I was in Alki and Admiral last weekend for three hours and I was like "Wow, this could be nice if I didn't have to cross the bridge. Excited for that time in two decades."

... No. But you can come to where everyone else is 🥰

And every day I break through and unleash faggotry worse than my office thought was possible the day before.

Me exiting the Capitol Hill light rail stop

Schumer is out of step with his caucus and should step aside.

Staunchly pro-Israel Democrats repeatedly argued their colleagues should not hold votes on military aid for Tel Aviv, arguing that would unhelpfully “split the caucus.”

Now those supporting unconditional weaponry (notably Schumer) are the clear minority — a new unified position is arguably found.

If they aren't, they'll have a fight this June. Organizing is, with my admitted just learning about this as a first timer, supposed to be much tighter this year than in previous conventions.

Now the question remains as to whether the state party leadership is willing to work with a crop of delegates clearly saying that this will be the floor expectation going ahead in our dealings with warmongers.

As the state party moves toward its June convention, this is a good sign that our senators and delegates are not fully out of synch on the essentials of upholding the dignity of all humanity with our foreign policy.

Both @cantwell.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov vote to block both sets of aid to Israel. While Murray has not been a constant backer of Israel's aggression, Cantwell was visible in the infamous Netanyahu meeting photo. This is a positive decision.
