THE SUPPORTER SECTION IS WALKING OUT. THE POLICE MADE THEM TAKE DOWN THE SIGN. All the normal signs are gone. No "y'all means all." No "trans lives matter." Nothing. It is now quiet. No music, no drums, no chants #AustinFC

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

Light rail is older than the current rental car center, and is public transit, not airport transit. Seems like it would be a waste of money to build a station for people who are explicitly not planning to use public transit for most of their trip.

Debora Juarez, 2020: "When I hear people say there's just a few bad apples on the police force I adamantly disagree with that. It's just not a healthy tree. We need to plant a new tree, we have to completely re-imagine, re-vision what community policing is." www.kuow.org/podcast/news...

Bad apples? Seattle Police 'not a healthy tree' says city council member
Chants of "defund S-P-D" have become a common message at protests in Seattle, and for the first time the idea is getting serious attention from the city council.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

It was originally OutKick the Coverage, which I guess was supposed to have a "we look at what the mainstream sports press doesn't cover" vibe, but comes from a term for a bad play in football.

Hot take: If @flysea.bsky.social wants to run a golf cart along the only pedestrian connection to the light rail they should just drive it at walking speed instead of taking half the space and honking at people.
Photo of a sign in the pedestrian walkway to Link at SEA that reads: "Pedestrians Stay to the RIGHT; Shuttle in use."

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.
"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

The law that requires new parkland to be created for any parkland destroyed also applies to publicly owned golf courses, so I've been saying we should satisfy that by eminent domaining Broadmoor CC. We can pay them the county-assessed value their property taxes are based on.

The article mentions the area was once home to dozens of strawberry farms owned by Japanese immigrant families who were dispossessed of their land during their WWII internment. It fails to mention that Freeman's grandfather founded the Anti-Japanese League that advocated for internment. Weird.
