@elrolonw.bsky.social @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com listening to what we learned this week has me wondering... First, Leyva, then Atencio, and now Minoungou. What's the deal with Colorado? Is there some personal connection? Is this a sign the Sounders don't see them as a real threat? Coincidence?

@offsidemodeling.bsky.social if you're out there somewhere, can you do Jess Fishlock's shot from late in the Reign-Current 1st half today? Sure looked over but the angle was terrible.

Then DeRo comes in and shows him how it's done. Cody Baker's goal is mostly his work over the minute leading up to it. Hold up. Ful. Hold up. Pass for assist.

Arsène Wenger's proposed change to the offside law is an abomination.

Seattle needs @ericacbarnett.bsky.social ! Join me in being a monthly supporter!

Didn't watch the super bowl, but I DID finish listening to a 2.5 hour podcast about the band American Football...

Best. Birthday. Ever!

Is it at least kinda correct to factor in ~$1.8 million in salary savings over the past two years when thinking about how this played out? Seems like getting a larger transfer would have absolutely required significantly more in salary + opportunity cost.

Just a reminder that Blue Scholars was all over this years ago!

Chartreuse Praxis

Seattle "ethics" board FINED Katie Wilson for getting childcare help from her parents. But it was cool for Bruce Harrell to use city resources to campaign & they won't investigate his brazen coordination with his $$$ PAC.

Hypocritical, sexist, classist bullshit.

Mayor Katie Wilson pays small fine for child care help during campaign The modest fine was reflective of the fact that Wilson and her campaign fully cooperated as the ethics commission looked into an unprecedented issue.

there is simply no other conclusion than that mayors must be rich
and THEN it's fine if they spend months of their terms flying first class to international junkets and use the mayor's office to campaign

Rendering of 16th Ave Southwest in White Center with bike lanes located in between street parking and vehicle travel lanes, and only paint used to separate the bike lanes

I'm sorry but this is not a good design for 16th in White Center

Is it better? Sure, but I still will never ride my bike here with paint being my only protection and cars being encouraged to cut over the bike lane to park

The kind .. you find … in a second hand store

Even taking the most optimistic view, it's reasonable to say change takes time and you can't do everything all at once. What concrete policies is she prioritizing that can meaningfully impact the city quickly (and help win a 2nd term!).

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Who is Wilson? She does not own a car. She lives in a rented 600-square-foot apartment with her husband and two-year-old daughter. By her own account, she depends on checks from her parents back east to cover expenses. To let them off the hook, she seeks to force residents of Seattle to pay for “free” child care and other goodies.

You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Those are automatic recount numbers

Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell was putting out at least a press release daily celebrating all the amazing things the mayor's office was doing right up until, let's see, November 3.

Nothing since then, though. Weird!

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

This mailer was so odd and inexplicable, I thought WA Bikes was an astroturf campaign.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

It’s a genuine travesty. There’s maybe one bike locker and it’s hidden under the stairs and heavily used by Mariners.

@andrew-wiebe.bsky.social 2nd yellow for Laborda in '47. #Instantreplay

Clutch? Really?

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Mayor Bruce Harrell is announcing his new budget today. In the runup, he's been touting "the largest investment in city history" in affordable housing. That "historic investment"? A sub-inflationary $1 million increase in the entire Office of Housing budget, from $348 million to $349 million.
