And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

A reminder that anything recorded on a device like this AI "friend" could be used against you — by hackers, private companies, or the government.

I can't make public comment next week, so I sent this to @council.seattle.gov. Seattle needs to take this opportunity to enable the construction of vastly more housing throughout the city.

Thanks to @seattleyimby.bsky.social for the list of amendments.

Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Secretary Duffy believes the U.S. DOT should NOT be funding bicycle infrastructure.
He said
“I do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That’s a problem.”

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force — not just the moments right before the lethal force.

Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

If you’re still on Meta first best thing you can do is get off of it.

But since this is not always an option you can take steps to de-monetize your data
