OK, as long by "all religions" you really mean ALL religions, not "I'll attack Christianity but let every other religion off the hook". That's the hypocrisy I see far too often take place.

But then he'd become a martyr to MAGA, which would make things worse.

So now we know Spain can play the "score late in extra time" game too. #vivaespaña

Sort of. I'm in Bellingham, WA but I do go up to Metro Vancouver.

Proving once again, build it and people will use it. Now if they can just do something about thieves stealing the copper wires and grounding the trains.

Sort of, they're blaming MLS for the loss even though most of the starting XI don't currently play in MLS.

Belgium got their revenge the best way possible- by outplaying the US side and being motivated by the orange one's meddling.

In Seattle, and Washington state for that matter, outdoor alcohol consumption is heavily restricted. Festivals have fenced off "beer gardens" instead of allowing people to walk where they want. Having something like what's shown here in our area would be a step forward.

To say nothing of the fact it all happened 40 years to the day after Maradona scored two goals (Hand Of God and Slice Through The England XI Like Soft Butter).

Soccer fans are on the move to Pioneer Square and the stadium district. Transit is doing a lot of work today. #WorldCup

I agree with one of the commenter here - all this is missing is a shield with a brisket sandwich.

Well, this app is populated by a lot of angry, miserable people who are determined to make everyone else the same way 24/7/365. Yes, things are horrid, but people also need to take mental and emotional breaks, which they don't get.

From an outside perspective, seems that this mayor knows he's about to get kicked to the curb and is going scorched earth in the process.

That affordability is just a smokescreen that never comes to pass.

All Seattle needs now is for the NY Post to run a similar wrong headed on their back and they'll know they're going up in the world. (Don't get me started on the Old Seattle mindset that too many people still have.)

Another possible outcome is that world events play out so that getting rid of cars is the only option if we are to keep moving ahead.

This is what happens when you build your society on car and oil centric infrastructure. Eventually you have to deal with the consequences.

If they chose to own several oversize trucks and SUVs, then they have to deal with consequences. Empathy can only go so far.

That's from The Kids In The Hall. Best comedy team from Canada in the 90's.

Earl Scruggs never denied the West African origins of the banjo, in fact he mentioned it a lot so people would know.

I don't know, social media has been good at making sure 70's rock and 70's music in general still has an iron grip on society.

Yes, the dad barely tolerated rotary dial phones, manual typewriters and ball point pens. He'd have a seizure over the internet. Not to mention it's obvious he was Watterson's author avatar.

Think of it as the Morrissey Effect. He started saying outrageous things just to piss people off, but he never stopped and wound up believing the hateful ideas that came out of his mouth.

Not that unusual. Some Midwest and South families would give their kids middle initials that didn't stand for anything. Two famous examples are Harry S. Truman and John R.(Johnny) Cash.

Yes, that's what I meant. People are afraid of using that option for a valid reason - the very real possibility of it failing.

Nice idea, but judging from the users on Bluesky, people here are too afraid to even think about this.

Which has historically been a problem. The reporter is never the one that writes the headline, instead an editor assigns a junior staffer to come up with the most sensational blurb possible, even though it has almost nothing to do with the story.

Not that I know of, I was thinking more about the security measures. They treat passengers on internal HSR trips like it was an international flight, which is overdoing it.

"Process" is coded language for "kick the can down the road and let it be someone else's problem."

Trains are packed and now crossing the lake.

Once this is in full service, metro Seattle inhabitants will wonder why there was so much opposition to it. Just like every time a new transit line opens. (Yes, it's not perfect but it will be of great benefit).

Believe it or not, yes. There are those opposed to cards, etc. that want to go back to a cash-only society. This vainglorious move by TFG pretty much kills that idea.
