Business Idiot Charles Fitzgerald is leaning into the "Seattle is Dying" trope, comparing Seattle to Cleveland in the 1950s. I'm not even sure why @geekwire.com published a 1000-word op-ed that says exactly nothing, offers no insight, or even (bad) solutions.

I'm with you. I just won't watch anything on TikTok. Would love a cross post on YouTube or similar instead of the app explicitly gathering surveillance for U.S. government

As has been called out many times on @ifbookspod.bsky.social too, MSM keeps falling down by not doing the basic research of clicking links and reading footnotes and citations. It's weaponized ignorance manufacturing consent of the incurious and gullible

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

If this huge chunk of land could be changed to a mix dense, walkable residential and commercial space with plenty of green space, it really would reinvigorate that part of the city. It's really out of character for everything around it today

Love how the NYT is actively and empathically facilitating the AI grift now. This plagiarist isn't trying to do anything more than spread her coaching grift to convince other plagiarists to do the same thing, even name checking her "coaching" business. 🤢
