Biking to work in big tech companies in Bellevue, WA. Formerly very much C++, now very much making privacy work at scale.
Seattle Times article on election results calls out "Cybertruck-driving" as a main description of this tech guy from Woodinville. Dude, you drive a Wankerpanzer. It's a character fault.

Likely AI, yes, but this is not "AI Slop". (If there is an artist, and someone recognizes it, I'd love a source!)

Meanwhile, in Bellevue WA, recently vacated by Microsoft, never had much Google, but 26% headquarters of Amazon, "Tech Bro Go Home" posters are being replaced with more political statements.

Bike parking at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. How many bike racks provide space to eat lunch? Job well done, folks! Exceeded expectations!

As someone who visits NYC to work enough to pay NY state taxes, there are too many damn cars in Manhattan. Land is scarce there, air is dirty there. You say this isn't London or Milan, but have you seen the pictures of Amsterdam in the 1970s? Become the city you want to be.

For those who don't know the history, Elysian made a beer called Loser with "Corporate Beer Still Sucks" on the label. I'm not sure if it lasted after Budweiser bought Elysian. I drink better beer now.

Bluesky is great but does it have this?

> wherever that is

Broadmoor is the reason you can't bike from West Montlake Park to Edgewater Park without going all the way down to Madison & Arboretum Drive. It's gated, but it also makes Madison Park a quasi-gated community. It's bougie on ends sides of 520!
