Saw One Battle After Another with my dad at the Cinerama (Ok, SIFF Cinema Downtown) today and had a lot of fun. It was really good and I missed that theater and watching movies with my dad. It's been a while.

Like Julio Rodríguez today, the last definitive *infield hit* that scored TWO runs by a Mariners player I could find was Michael Saunders on May 22, 2014 vs. HOU.
Both Julio & Saunders’ hits:
• 7th inning
• 2 outs
• Broke tie game
• Challenged by opposing manager (unsuccessfully)

Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies.
Seriously. As of today.
We couldn’t make that up.
Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real.
Thank you ALL.

Concerning news related to decreasing reproductive healthcare access right here in Seattle. This is a loss for our community.
Virginia Mason will no longer offer employees insurance coverage for abortion or vasectomies, and closed its only birth center in Seattle. “You can’t have an abortion, but you can’t have your baby,” said one employee of the disinvestment from reproductive health.

Since the hospital joined with a Catholic system, the birth center has shuttered and employee insurance soon won't cover abortions and vasectomies.

Going to do a thread of all the neighborhood groups in Seattle trying to get the neighborhood center near them proposed in the draft One Seattle plan taken out.
For context, new neighborhood centers would be mixed-use zoning surrounded by increases in allowed residential density for a few blocks.

“In adjusted models, a 1-μg/m3 increase in the 3-year mean of wildfire PM2.5 exposure was associated with an 18% increase in the odds of dementia diagnosis … In comparison, a 1-μg/m3 increase in nonwildfire PM2.5 exposure was associated with a 1% increase.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 🌳🔥🧠🧪

Having your four year old quiz you on the Wicked soundtrack on every song and every character and who's singing and what's happening and how it relates to the characters in the original Baum book makes you realize you don't remember it all as well as you thought.

It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.
The food security report is out, and it's bad news: 13.5% of households were food insecure in 2023, up from 12.8% in 2022. This is what happens when you abruptly end "pandemic" supports that should have been there all along.
