I was a small part of the project to acquire this sweet new bike lane sweeper through Liveable Kirkland. This baby hooks up to a standard Burley hitch and can both pick up and also push aside debris. I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin and helping clear some of our local bike lanes! 🚴🧹 ✨

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

Got my kid a Tin Can phone and she LOVES it. Really cool project started by a West Seattle dad (and family biker!). It’s basically a VOIP phone that can only call/receive from pre-approved numbers or other Tin Can kids. Uses any old touch tone phone. I think this idea’s a winner. tincan.kids

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need to replace the "Artificial Intelligence" moniker with "Simulated Intelligence". I feel like we aren't anywhere near real AI. Real AI would be able to incorporate new clock times on the energy of a few Snickers bars.
Just Because: The 10:10 Position of Hands is so Deeply Rooted that AI can't Generate Anything Different
When things are so widely accepted and rooted in common psyche even the best AI image generators are brainwashed to follow the norm.

As I use and peruse Bluesky, I cannot help but think to myself nothing excludes this platform from enshittification, even with federation. Someone will eventually have the urge to monetize and that is when it starts. Can anyone assuage me of this?
