Six things can be true. And one of them is that five things cannot be true.

Jamelle’s ongoing beef with JD Vance is a true delight. Every time I see one of these petty posts I hear that Little Pig Man remix in my head and start bopping around.

What a thread. I guess I should be glad that West Seattle doesn't have gutter bricks, which are apparently more important than child safety.

Real talk: suppose there's an uptick in existential dread among low-information voters in the next seven weeks. Does that benefit Republicans? Logically it shouldn't, since Republicans are so clearly the ones making existential threats worse. But fear makes people more conservative usually, so... ?

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

I know a D+10 environment seems nuts, but after a couple cycles in which Republicans did well (22 and 24), LV models are likely to be overestimating, rather than underestimating, Republican turnout in the midterms. So, if D+10 is wrong, it’s likely because it’s too low.

Thanks to a deal on tix to Helsinki I am planning a trip to the Baltic region for next summer. Anyone have opinions re: best cities and things to do? @drkath.bsky.social I think you've been to those capitals. I hear good things about Vilnius and Tallinn? @lauraolin.bsky.social got Finland recs?

Mass suicides in Nazi Germany
Article
Talk
亥
^
During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War I! in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide. In addition to Adolf Hitler and many high-ranking Nazi officials like Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Philipp Bouhler, others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.!"! Motivating or triggering factors included fears of execution for Nazi war
crimes or reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and the Soviets, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after Hitler's suicide. For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves in a mass suicide in the German town of Demmin, before and after

It's endearing that Joe Biden has always loved Hunter despite all of his reprehensible behavior, but it doesn't mean we have to.

Gun violence in Seattle isn't a new problem, and my neighborhood has been hit especially hard by it. Weirdly, none of these companies had anything to say about it before we had a socialist mayor. I wonder what changed?

I agree. I really wanted to like pawpaws, but at any given stage of ripeness they just didn't strike me as having a flavor and texture that fully justified the effort. Wineberries are so good! I used to find them in Rock Creek Park when I lived in DC. They're so beautiful, too. Like little jewels.

Additionally, Seattle Public Schools will be providing free meals, because your kids should not go without support while adults work toward a resolution. For the parent who cannot miss work, for the student who counts on a school meal, this is what your city is here for.

Whenever white supremacy comes up (as it is wont to do lately), I spare a thought for the fact that if you told an ancient greek person that he had more in common with some pants-wearing barbarian from northern Europe than with the storied and ancient land of Egypt, he'd punch you in the mouth.

This is a chart of the seven-day average of arrests being made, not people arrested. So imagine what the cumulative arrest lines look like, and how much faster the TOTALS for "no criminal charge" are rising than for all other groups.

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.
