me: ok!
people: hi
me: Im quite serious when I say that I want to orbit and probe Uranus! It’s a type of planet we’ve never properly explored before, yet it’s the commonest type of planet in exoplanetary systems. And it has 5 round moons

This is one of the most important yet least told stories in Seattle over the last 5 years: the steady scaling back of transit service, even as we expand light rail. We need to bring transit back closer to more people.
Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan)
In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%!
Time to get the buses running again!

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

"What Would Feynman Do?" is a fucking terrible ethical maxim. Feynman was a repulsive misogynist and a creep.
Which seems to be very much what I'd expect from Krauss.

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

naturally Krauss is in the email dump today, where he decides that because Feynman was a known sexual predator, he could be one too

The agency has already been irreparably damaged, capacity and culture destroyed, decades worth of experience shown the door. "NASA" is the strongest name brand in the world, a metonymy for our highest ideals as humans. It is being bulldozed by people who don't understand (or care) what we're losing.
After 13 years as the top federal workplace, NASA is facing an employee exodus and months of turmoil after deep budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration.
If fully implemented, the changes could reshape U.S. science for years.

NASA has lost thousands of workers. Here’s what that means for science.
Staffers told The Post about months of turmoil and sweeping changes that, if fully implemented, could transform NASA and American science beyond the Trump years.

Today is probably the day if we find out we get a fresh start with Transit Advocate Renter Mayor or if we have to do another almost half-decade of The Guy Who Pulled A Gun On A Pregnant Woman Because Of A Parking Spot Mayor
SEATTLE POLITICS: i made a mayoral election tracker.
TL;DR: can katie wilson overturn an 11,000 vote deficit? well she gained over 17,000 votes as the lower-turnout primary unfolded, so theoretically yeah probably. but if she doesn't reverse the trend tomorrow or Friday, she's probably hosed

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.
