the sidewalk between the new Montlake lid and the library has achieved "so bad it's good" status, which is something no infrastructure should aspire to.
the pavement is so warped by decay and roots that it has become a thrilling off-road course for cycling. it's kinda fun.

new christmas lights arrived. told my friend why they're special by describing a series of videos by "this youtuber I watch who is really particular about lighting" and by the end he said..."Is this @techconnectify.bsky.social ? this sounds like something he would do." it was in fact TC.

The first good thing any ICE agent has done with their life. ended it!
He tried to lie to the arresting officers about where he worked so Border Patrol supervisor wouldn't find out. We won't know if he would actually have been fired, though, because he went off and overdosed. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...

no idea how you'd study this without running into a correlation is not causation problem but i wonder if every extra few minutes you spend driving to the polling place increases the odds you're going to vote for republicans by 1%

The true mark of a great mayor isn't how many ribbons you cut, but how many systems and wins you put in place for your successors to take credit for.
Baffled by why @cascade.org endorsed Harrell for mayor? Simple answer: Harrell gave Cascade a seat at the table during an epic bike lane construction binge, which, I argue, made the resulting bike lanes were qualitatively better.
Will Mayor-elect Wilson invite bike people to the table? I hope so.

bust all the green districts. every mansion must be torn down and turned into public waterfront with social housing on it.

If that’s the only thing Pike Place Market is for, I guess they don’t need public levy dollars?
After public comment, historical commission chair Jonathan Cracolici is picking apart a comment from Bruce Harrell about making Pike Place the best "pedestrian experience" in the county.
He says it should be the best "customer experience," because it's a market that's there for people to make money.

this is really what gets me. these guys have been so devoid of a single creative thought. like a full on far right conservative would at least show up with some passion lol. the council chambers just looked like a shitty bar where everyone is drinking alone and scowling.
Put it this way: if they had any other big ideas don't you think they would've tried em by now? in an election year in which their council president and mayor were up for re-election? That's all they got. It was a strictly revanchist enterprise: criminalize visible poverty & protect the status quo
