Now's the time of year I have to bike home in the dark, but at least I get to see cool sunsets over the water

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

Some things to add to this great blog post:
As someone who wears glasses, a baseball hat under the helmet keeps most of the water off them.
I really like my super reflective proviz jacket. In the dark you become the most visible person on the road. (Recommend sizing up if you get one)

Last night's fatal crash in north Ballard means that at least sixteen people walking have been killed in 2025 after being hit by drivers in Seattle.
Seattle Fire just responded to a driver hitting someone walking at 15th Ave NW and NW 73rd Street, 30 minutes ago.

This was a hit-and-run.

I'll provide updates on the person who was hit as they become available.

A common excuse we hear for SDOT's refusal to install bus lanes on Denny is that WSDOT could be opposing them. However, @juliareedwa.bsky.social checked, and WSDOT is “unconcerned” about potential impacts to I-5 traffic. The state’s ready to talk bus lanes on Denny, lets get them built!
