Extremely encouraging to hear Wilson cite Hidalgo directly as influence on urban planning policy
Katie Wilson: "I look at what Mayor Hidalgo has achieved in Paris, and I think that, and some of the mayors in Spanish cities, progressive, socialist mayors in Spanish cities, and the transformation of public space into walkable, people-oriented places where you want to be, it’s just so important."

Katie Wilson @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social congrats on the win! Can we please get more seating in the terminal for fast ferry? I'm currently seated on ground because there are a whole a six seats available to the public. Thousands of people use this terminal every day! Low hanging fruit!

Always striking to me the level of outrage at airline industry (safest system in the world) in contrast to auto industry, which kills 45,000 people a year in US alone. We went over a decade without a single major domestic commercial airline crash, how many killed by cars in same time?
The fuckers got away with it.
The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them.
They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Jamaica is my favorite example of music from a specific country because they must have the most distinct genre count per capita of anywhere in the world
It always fascinates me to think that a tiny island like Jamaica 🇯🇲 influenced the whole world musically: ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, dancehall...
From sound systems to hip-hop and EDM, its deep basslines keep on inspiring people globally!

Missing Link. This injury is the fault of Eugene Wasserman and local business cartels. They should be named and shamed. Bad for Seattle, utterly pathetic policy failure not getting a simple bike path constructed for 30 years
Seattle Fire is currently responding to a driver hitting someone on a bike at Shilshole Ave NW and 17th Ave NW.
This was reportedly a hit-and-run.

Data centers not only use a lot of energy, but they need a lot of water to keep from overheating. But that competes with other uses of water, such as for drinking. So China is looking to put data centers in the ocean. 🧪

I would be curious to know if there are historical parallels, where elite run the country off a cliff for no apparent reason. Russian society that pushed for a disastrous war in Japan comes to mind, which famously had no negative consequences in the following decades for the Czarist empire
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.
"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

It's actually wild how much money we choose to spend on bus drivers sitting in traffic, to say nothing of what it says about how we value transit riders.

I am not a NYC voter, but if I were then the Indian Point shutdown is so bad that it alone is reason to vote against Cuomo
I take issue with the Cuomo policy achievements listed by the Times editorial board in their non-endorsement endorsement of him for the mayoral race. Leaving aside the infrastructure BS – “ambitious clean energy program”? NYS is in the middle of the pack on renewable share, and he shut Indian Point

1000% correct, jarring film that does the correct thing of portraying war closer to a horror movie than as action
rewatched All Quiet on the Western Front and man, that film really does justice to the fact that those kids in the trenches lived like, some of the top 1% worst lives of any people in history

Whenever I see these piddling parking revenues and think of the ubiquitous free parking across the city... seems like simply raising the number of paid spots could do wonders. I'm currently on the bus, for drivers equality may feel like oppression but it's basically free money on the table
The city of Seattle's forecast office is recommending the city use the pessimistic scenario for 2025-26 budgeting purposes; this forecast shows significant reductions in all revenue sources the budget relies upon.
Bottom line is $50 million less than anticipated for 2025 and 2026.

Hell. Yes.
A clear majority of the Bothell City Council voiced support for fully eliminating minimum parking requirements tonight.
"Parking is a government-mandated tax on new housing and small businesses that we want, and the result that we get from it is more pavement, more air pollution, more tire dust, 6PPDQ pollution, and we know that it drives more traffic." - @masonthompson.bsky.social
