Instead of going to Ballard to support the romance bookstore using AI, you could also go to Lovestuck below in Wedgwood, or also Beguiled which is opening in Pioneer Square this weekend.

Oh no, I just learned that Becky Slater worked with Peter Thiel, is a venture capitalist, and is a big JD Vance and MAGA supporter. Brutal.

Gah! I decided to rewatch The Wonder Years because of hearing the Joe Cocker Beatles cover the other day and talking about the scene where Becky yells at Kevin and I only now discovered they couldn’t get the rights to the Joe Cocker version of the theme song. Absolute disaster.

Fuck SPD
you can learn a lot about a police department by looking at its union leadership, and whether it’s fair or not every single person in that union has to wear it

The Athletes United Softball League announced their newest expansion team is the Cascades, but with no home city yet. More than likely, based on the almost Kraken colors and name, they will be based in Seattle, where there is already a long established Ultimate team named the Seattle Cascades.

I became a Cubs fan in, maybe, 2014 because I really liked all those players and at the time liked Maddon and could see the writing on the wall. I celebrated a World Series, but I was blissfully unaware of the Ricketts and other nightmares and now I kind of regret the whole thing.
That 2016 Cubs team not only opened the portal to our current hell but they’re miserable people too
Certified Crank Joe Maddon is comparing the new Giants manager to, you guessed it, Mamdani

Since moving back to Seattle I have voted for Cary Moon and Lorena Gonzalez for Mayor and got Jenny Durkan and Bruce Harrell. I’m pumped that it looks like I will finally get my wish for an actual progressive mayor.

26. Malibu Rising - Taylor Jenkins Reid: Convinced to read this by my kid (who I’m not sure was old enough to read this but oh well) and I’m glad I was. A really fun read that could easily just be meaningless fluff but she really loves this family and characters and makes you really care for them.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Hell yeah, Bees! Great penalty. Let’s finish this thing out and get through what promised to be about 10+ minutes of stoppage time.

Good shift from Aaron Hickey, good to see him back in action and playing well.

That is a pathetic VAR review. The one angle clearly shows Burns kicking the shit out of his ankle. And Dango still gets the yellow.
