Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Caribbean.

After months of lethal strikes at sea, Trump is threatening to expand this illegal unauthorized war to Venezuela.

This is #SNL video that is being removed from sites

It aired last night, went viral and #NBC was subject of #Trumps rant to fire #SethMeyer.

Several 🔗 are now unavailable but this is a clip I’d saved.

Hey Seattle City Council, here's a idea: What if (and stick with me here for moment) instead of spending the next four years working as hard as you can to make Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson fail, you work WITH her to try to do what's best for the people of Seattle. She's a reasonable person. Talk to her.

The fact that rich people are buying up the media and politicians, and using up the remaining carbon budget is very bad for everyone.

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

At least Sarah Nelson is no longer on the Seattle City council.

Also Anne Davidson can go fuck the fuck off.

Got to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's election night party a little early; here's what it looked like a few minutes after 7, an hour before the first results come in. Photos by Josh Feit and me.

I wonder if we'll ever get the memo that roads designed for high speeds allow for high speeds, and thus high speed accidents

If Bruce Harrell squeaks out a win in two weeks, I for one will never forget the contempt that he readily showed for wide swaths of the city in service of doing it.

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!
Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

Sam Altman is laying the groundwork for OpenAI to be declared too big to fail by the U.S. government. At this point the stock price of AMD, Nvidia and Oracle all have OpenAI growing revenue 20x by 2030 baked in.

It’s not a systemic risk but it isn’t nothing either
