Seahawks by 50

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

We are so broken

Super Bowl advice? Hand the ball off.

Two Seattle schools shelter in place due to reported ICE activity Seattle Public Schools that ICE agents might be trying to draw out families who intended to bring their children home from school after news of ICE activity.

Heads up, Seattle: Aki Kurose Middle School in Hillman City and Cleveland STEM High School in Beacon Hill are sheltering in place after ICE activity was reported in the area.

I had no idea the Seahawks would win on the the first play of the game. But that’s all they needed. They just needed 7 points.

Once again the absolute dumbest people you and I know will be downright gleeful about this.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Sure. That’s the main thing here to consider, NPR.

Rockets owners expand talks to buy, move Sun

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Please indulge yourself at the mountain goats merch table this week to offset how poorly I’ve controlled my book buying habit at Magus and Elliott Bay in Seattle, thank you, I tried to control myself but didn’t

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Completely unrelated, but this little shop wouldn’t be compliant in new construction in Seattle where retail mandates a 30’ depth for some arbitrary reason. Zoning codes and city planners do not know how to make good buildings.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.

100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
