Americans for Tax Fairness @4taxfairness.bsky.social · 17h

Meta has been writing off their investment in AI data centers as "research & experimentation" for two years. It's allowed them to avoid $4 BILLION in taxes. Any tax code that allows a mega-corporation to scheme out of a $4 BILLION tax bill while our economy tanks is BROKEN.

#3. TV movie of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman at age 8ish. Truly terrifying depictions of KKK terror.

#1 Papillon at age 5. Not sure why my mom and soon-to-be stepdad took me. Mom tried and failed to cover my eyes for the execution by guillotine. #2. Episode of Kolchak: The Nightstalker at age ~8. Healthy people suddenly age and die. Had a nightmare this happened my friend Kenny.

Learning from Larry @ Friends of Issaquah Salmon Hatchery With @jrock08.bsky.social and @kellyjiang.bsky.social: “The most important thing is to get the tires off the road” and “reduce the tire-miles-per-person. Thats why I’m telling people to ride the bus!”

The Buffalo Bills - singlehandedly healing international rifts.

Buffalo,
we could hear you singing from here.
At your home opener, many of you stood up and sang O Canada. What a moment.
Us Canadians sang along, from the stadium, in sports bars, and on couches across the country.
Then you put it on billboards across Southern Ontario. We're still singing it, you said. We be lieved you.
Well, we want to return the feeling.
On Saturday, October 3rd, the sky over Niagara Falls will go red, white and blue in Buffalo Bills colours.
You're invited. Come across the bridge, find a spot along the river and soak it all in. We'll be right there with you.
We've shared this river a long time. We share the view, the mist, a lot of family, and even more Bills games. Thanks for being a neighbour.

Hey @sound-transit.bsky.social! Congrats on opening the Pinehurst station! BUT please remove the pictures of a current candidate for office from the station and any related promotional materials. Don't know how that happened but it's not appropriate.

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by our table to tell us what you want to see at Seattle-owned Jackson Golf Course!! You all had such brilliant and beautiful ideas! Send this action letter to council and the mayor to make our shared dreams a reality: actionnetwork.org/letters/turn...

actionnetwork.org

Rename "Jackson" Park and turn it into a free public green space for more neighbors

Two new light rail stations will be opening next to "Jackson" Park Golf Course in the next couple of years. The 148th St. station is set to open in 2024, and the 130th St. station in 2026. Right no...

Come to Pinehurst Station opening this Wednesday & tell us what you want to see at Jackson Park! We can absolutely do better than a fenced off golf course that cuts off access to TWO light rail stations. (If you can't make it, you can always take our online survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...)

Poster of preferred "Jackson" Park uses that you will be able to add dot stickers to vote on!

Possible uses include picnic area, playground, bball court, vball court, trails, spray park, sports field, dog park, skate park, pool, outdoor stage, public restroom, and blank spaces for you to fill out!

With Seattle CM Daniel Strauss you know it's gonna be one of two options: flip or flop. Right now he sees opportunity in joining the Do Nothing (but Hate on the Mayor) Caucus, so he's making up reasons to attack her budget. The man has no spine and no moral center. It's frankly embarassing.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

There are no “rogue” AI agents

Identifying them as such only lets companies like OpenAI off the hook.

This is a book about how completely unprincipled attention hounds will always make their way to the right because they know the right will have them. The NYMag piece? I guess that’s a story about how unprincipled attention hounds deserve attention as long as they’re shitting on democrats.
