Idk who needs to hear this, but there really isn't a humane way to execute somebody. Sanitized yes, but humane...nope.

With the public sentiment on things like Flock, and with the new AI features being rolled out, I think wearable tech is on borrowed time now.

I don’t think a single driver should be able to crash into another vehicle, take out power for thousands of people and the only two grocery stores in reasonable walking distance of my house *and* close my local Light Rail station for hours without significant legal consequences

3 years delay and a billion extra in budget, flying under the radar. Throw out the entire board, start over.

This is…fine, I guess. Doesn’t seem like the best use of limited local political capital tho. Wilson’s got some wins (Bike weekends, the L8). But those are relatively targeted, and I fear that citywide she’ll come up short when voters look for tangible ways life has improved next election.

it's important that we not only end these companies, but that they are widely understood to be evil, and that choosing to be associated with them in any way should be a mark of great shame

Delaying Smith Cove-Market St was always a gamble, knowing that if any subarea is going to approve an additional funding measure to finish the build, it’s Seattle. Pierce/Everett would never. ST3.5 is coming. I still think it was a bad gamble, for the record, even if it succeeds.

Acquiring tickets to the Lucas Museum has been, by far, the most frustrating ticket purchase of my lifetime. And I got face value tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour from the Ticketmaster Trenches.

In the space of two months - March 28 to May 28 - Sound Transit went from the peak of its success (opening the Crosslake Connection) to a stunning act of self destruction (gutting the ST3 plan). I’ve never seen anything like it.

Today was the first major Link expansion opening in the last few years that I’ve missed (today was moving day, plus getting married in a few weeks means I just couldn’t make it work). But I cannot wait to celebrate in my own time and ride this damn train!

Boeing Access Road station is the exact kind of station we should be deferring for cost saving measures. Low ridership, above ground, infill, suburban. The idea that this kind of station could get built instead of Ballard or Alaska Junction or even SLU is insane

Will March 28 be the first time in many years that Sound Transit won’t have a light rail project actively “under construction”?

So there are several timelines where ST3 gets fully built out (forever from now) but the only stations removed (as compared to the original 2016 ballot plan) are ones in Seattle (SLU, Avalon, Midtown) and nothing gets deleted from outside the city. How isn't this bullshit?

It is our job as the public to demand that our elected leaders use every lever they have to build out our light rail system. We do not need to accept these options. The board can simplify station design, identify additional revenue and work towards better solutions. #BuildTheDamnTrains

It is a truly honorable thing @typewriteralley.bsky.social does for local news to cover these traffic fatalities and collisions when our highly resourced newspaper never will. Ryan goes through a lot posting the death and maiming that goes on by drivers hitting people outside of cars. Support Ryan

Is anyone else bothered by this obvious gap in the RapidRide network? Getting from somewhere along the northern leg of the D to anywhere north of 100th is so cumbersome due to that extra transfer to the 40 you have to do.

Watching a replay of the Olympic opening ceremonies and…they used AI slop for an animated “history of the winter games” segment? In the biggest celebration of human achievement - both sport and art - they couldn’t pay an animator for two minutes of content. Incredibly disappointing.

It absolutely sucks that the most surprising thing to me about this is the Times outright calling it racist, rather than something like “what experts say is racist” or “arguably racist.” As the kids say, we’re so cooked.
Screenshot of the New York Times front page:

Trump Posts Video Portraying Obamas as Apes.
The White House press secretary dismissed criticism of the clip’s racist content, shared by the president’s Truth Social account, as “fake outrage.”

Tarrant County is the largest red county in the nation. I cannot emphasize enough how big this is. Rehmet winning this race against Wambsganss would be an earthquake of Biblical proportions.
Jasper Scherer on X:

Just a PSA for people, FreeTaxUSA is an excellent tool for filing taxes. Do not, I repeat, do not give your money to TurboTax. They lobby congress to keep tax filings difficult and inflate their prices to make it more expensive. FreeTaxUSA.com is about as good as it gets today.

I deleted all algorithm-first social apps from my phone this week, including YouTube. That leaves only BlueSky, whose default feed remains a chronological feed of accounts I follow. It’s been refreshing. There’s a clear end point, when I’ve caught up, and can comfortably close it. This app rocks.

Remember how Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill -- and Trump signed it into law -- requiring DOJ to release all of its files on Jeffrey Epstein by Dec. 19? Still hasn't happened. To the tune of more than 2 million documents still being withheld. Carry on.
