For the world cup, one weekend we should empty a section of the Ballard locks and host a street soccer tournament in it. Spectators can stand around the top of the locks and look down on the game, while player shouts will echo and boom.

"Without this critical tool, misconduct investigations can’t be completed, trust erodes, and institutions are shielded instead of people. I can’t justify spending tens of millions more on officers while essential oversight tools remain missing," Saka said. council.seattle.gov/2025/12/09/p...

I just got a "Facts for Peace" zionist ad on youtube, but when I blocked it they said it'll be blocked *after* it finishes playing. I don't block a lot of ads but I thought usually it takes immediate effect and they don't force you to watch it.

About 5ish years ago my former team really wanted to build Amazon's version of 'spotify wrapped'. It'd be stupid and not as good as spotify or youtube's but I can only imagine some of the weird hilarity that would ensue on social media. Another short sighted poor decision from my pm.

Hot take: just because there's a soccer ball in it, it doesn't mean that your mural is a "soccer mural".

Felt like Ballard should have won that game. We were the better side and had more chances, just to concede by a free kick in 85'ish. The end of the game was chaos, went 10+ mins of added time, and when the whistle went the opp keeper ran in front of the crowd cupping his ears...kinda an ass

"The estimated cost of repairing the graffiti damage to the bridge was $1,110."
WTF is that number?! It's spray paint on the side of a concrete bridge that is already painted gray, you just need to paint it gray again so how is that $1k?!

The Valencia art wall has been a Mission District fixture for 20 years—a spot for posters, graffiti, stickers, & all manner of anti-establishment sloganeering.
The city painted over that wall last week.

There's still a lot of free space on the Ballard bridge so the graffiti artist is a bit of an ass. But, the city continually abates graffiti on the grey walls, while paying muralists to paint the same walls...so it makes sense the graffiti artists would be a bit upset.

"The council also voted to require the Wilson administration to use $4 million from the Seattle Department of Transportation’s budget for graffiti removal—a top priority for Harrell, whose budget includes 22 staff dedicated to this purpose."
$4 mill just for SDOT abatement alone is ridiculous.
