On opening night when the motley troupe suddenly realizes they’ve forgotten to memorize their lines Wilhelm attempts to bail them out by reciting lines from a different play. He’s hoping to superimpose one play onto another. It may be the world’s first mashup. www.joshfeitpoetry.com/blog/im-all-...

I’m All Lost In, #131: A Bowie song; a Goethe novel; and a different podcast than usual. Plus the week in X > Y and two music recommendations. — Josh Feit's Poetry If I can get the melody and the bass working at the same time, I want people to stop telling me how hip the past is.

The first LP came up as a reverent "Yes, please" while I was looking for an album that could ease me into the night: The Ahmad Jamal Trio’s casual live record, 1958’s But Not for Me. The second for when night actually comes: Code, a 2014 release from electronic musician Jun Nushimura.

I can't get this 1968 lyric out of my head these days: "And I'm a genius genius. I believe in God. And I believe that God believes in Claude. That's me."

I get that they threw Orbán out. But the jubilance on the left seems a bit pathetic. The new guy represents the same right- wing populism that Orbán did. It's hardly an ideological shift. I guess we take our "wins" where we can these days?

I’m All Lost In, #130: A 1960s art film; another Tsvetaeva poem; flossing and gummies; plus the week in X > Y, including tax breaks for developers > fees on developers. — Josh Feit's Poetry Her odes to the hope despair stirs in the human heart.

Wilson is throwing out her slow-growth predecessor’s stubborn “I’m-from-here” comp plan so she can build “taller, denser, faster." This renewed push for density gives me an opportunity to promote something I've editorialized for b4: Funded inclusionary zoning, or FIZ.

Seattle defined: A city council hearing about adding housing density. A Gen Xer (against) in a KEXP hat screaming about Orcas.

Maybe Metropolis: French Revolution Vibes - PubliCola By Josh Feit Seattle’s capitalist class gathered last week in the fifth-floor ballroom of the $2 billion Pine St. convention…

I love @ericacbarnett.bsky.social's description in her PubliCola recap. "Responding to Downtown Seattle Association’s fanciful descriptions of Seattle consumers (from “Laptops & Lattes” to “Top Tier”), Josh predicts a revolution in this week’s Maybe Metropolis." publicola.com/2026/03/20/m...

Not sure if it's a metric, but Wilson is the first Seattle mayor in memory who seems to enjoy (or even have a blast!) being mayor. www.instagram.com/p/DWAPgiNgXF...

KIRO has ignored my request to go on their show and talk about my story and my reporting. I talked to more than a quarter of SOCR's staff, mostly people of color, who shared their stories and experiences with me despite what I believe was a justified fear of retaliation.

Here's ECB on our socialist mayor's speech yesterday in the heart of traditional enemy territory publicola.com/2026/03/12/m...; Wilson spoke to Seattle's capitalist class at the Downtown Seattle Association shindig. The real indictment of the economy was happening on the 1st floor, tho. Empty.
