Again, political violence has no place in this country.

I probably don’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a damn thing, but that doesn’t matter - he’s a husband and a father.

This is despicable and can’t become our new normal.

Me three months ago:
My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Absolutely stunning winter morning from Redmond WA. Snow blanket at 2” at 530 ft elevation around Redmond Ridge. Foggy inversion in the foothills with sunny skies over Mount Baker in the distance. #wawx #pnw #wxpics #wx #snowday

If you told me back in September the National Championship would be played on F*ckt*rds inauguration day I'd have picked Ohio State v Notre Dame to perfectly round out such a shitty day.

As an Arizona State fan since 25 minutes ago that is the worst non call in college football history

I hear it was windy in Washington again today. Here's an Arizona sunset...

Do you have any idea how badly you have to fuck up a website to get a band that relies on social media to sell tickets to our little shows and stuff to nuke an account where we had 160k followers
Rock band, Eve 6, have completely left Twitter

Three kids barely out of high school (class of '23) killed themselves in a Cybertruck in the wealthy enclave of Piedmont, CA last night.

God knows why this stupid car caught fire, but you should not lot anyone you know drive one.

I haven't seen much written on unusual downslope mountain waves that were responsible for the worst wind damage in Seattle's eastern suburbs on Tuesday evening. So if you're curious to know why Issaquah was hit especially hard, I've got you covered: theconvergencezone.com/2024/11/24/h...
How did Tuesday’s bomb cyclone trigger a major mountain wave windstorm over Seattle’s eastern suburbs?
Last Tuesday, a frontal cyclone rapidly deepened over the Pacific Ocean about 1,000 km to the west of Seattle. The storm was a “triple bomb”, meaning it reached around triple the 24 hPa…

This Ole Miss/Florida would mean absolutely nothing in the 4-team era.

It means everything in the 12-team era.

Don’t let people tell you college football is being ruined.

Reminder to Seattle area peeps. If you encounter a traffic light with no lights, treat it as an all-way stop.

Pretending not to see it is not the right choice.

Ok, definitely need to figure out how to curate feeds on BS. Just got my power back after the Bomb Cyclone and would like some local updates, but can't find anything. Just seeing random shit from Starter Packs that looked interesting.

Any tips for an old guy on a new app would be appreciated.

Power is back on!!!!

First take: cell phones are completely useless in a widespread outage. Mine was nothing more than a flashlight with a shitty battery.

Haven’t seen this many transformers blowing up since that EF4 in Birmingham. #bombcyclone #wawx
