Our city council is so shit man. Federal Way has some good bones and could be great if it would get out of its own way.

The vast majority of rural voters are not farmers or dependent on farming at this point. They are mostly exurban people who actually work IT jobs in a nearby city and drive for an hour in a clean lifted truck to do it.

Rural voters can have a fair vote when Wyoming has fewer Senators than California.

But 2016 Trump, not 2026 Trump.

I read this in Trump's voice for some reason.

Only thing kind of surprising to me here is Jr. Being so high. I wonder if most of that is dumb people thinking it meant the current Donald Trump, because Jr. Seems to have negative charisma.

I've never met a transphobe that didn't also hate women in general tbh. So they don't care if they also label cis women incorrectly.

If Americans could get a burger on the bus that might encourage them to demand better transit tbh.

The DDoS was actually just a spike in traffic from them posting more videos.

I started following @scalzi.com on here before I read any of his books and thought he was delightful. I just blasted through the first part of Old Man's War and it's amusing to be able to see his persona reflected back in the writing. Really enthralling read so far.

I'm sorry nobody likes you enough to want to spend time with you, but for what it's worth it seems like they are right.

I mean a good %80 of the time it's also illegal, and a good chunk of those times it gets rolled back. But I think the underlying sentiment is mostly correct.

I would also like to see a version of this where they uncap the number of players. So you could have a few really tall guys are a couple dozen dwarves.

"Jensen Huang is like the Taylor Swift of Silicon Valley."

When did I navigate to The Onion?

I feel like you can see the similarities in how they thought about war as well. Fancy new tech vs " mass production go brrrrrrr".

Something being legal does not make it right or sane.

You don't want a fancy hotel, you want a business focused hotel. They will do a lot to maintain a relationship with large companies.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Unfortunately this goes so much deeper than just Sound Transit. It's really fundamentally a homeless/housing issue and until the State makes big investments into housing this is always going to be a problem for ST and other public spaces.

If people were fundamentally cruel the world would be WAY worse than it is. The only reason any of this shit works at all is billions of decent people doing the right thing about 80% of the time. If everybody was cruel we would have ended ourselves ten times over.

I mean the thing that makes it "who cares" is that a tracked or quadruped robot would be strictly better. Bipedalism is only an advantage for us because it frees up our hands, but robots are designed from the ground up so it's not an advantage.

Drunk enough to spill my secrets, not drunk enough to volunteer therm.a

I've got some beef with Obama but I think people underestimate how much this kind of stuff matters. I think Role Model in Chief is a really important part of the President's job and was pushing things in the right direction in the long run even as Obama engaged in drone strikes and other shit.

Not quite, the compact requires the state to enact it, and most red states are horrendously gerrymandered. But they can only do so much and you can still start splitting their house seats up at least and start chipping away at the narrow lead Republicans inherently have currently.

I've been very fortunate that my rational brain overrides my feeling brain in most cases. I LOVE being drunk and could do it all the time if my rational brain were not capable of being like "Nah mate that ain't it." In some sense I feel like I am already an alcoholic who just hasn't found out.

Every once in a long while I'm depressed and then get drunk and smash a plate of the most mediocre nachos that taste amazing and understand how alcoholism exists.

A glazed ceramic teapot and two mugs with art depicting the northern lights along with silhouette figures of a couple and their dog looking at the aurora.

A while back I commissioned a wedding gift for two dear friends from @amyraehill.bsky.social and tonight I was able to give it to them! She turned my friend's photo of the northern lights from their engagement trip into a gorgeous ceramic tea set and I could not be happier with the result.

The problem with trying to appeal to indignant white men is that you have to appeal to the same fake news and bullshit that conservatives use.
