Will do if I can on my route home from work. Thanks for the heads up!

The "is AI slavery" discourse is exactly what the tech bros want. It doesn't end with fancy autocompletes having human rights. Its logic ends with you having fewer rights. If you believe AI is sentient (it's not) & are down with enslaving it (it's not slavery), then why do human labor rights matter?

New-to-me bike day: this Singular Swift bikepacking machine. Testing out the fit on the Cheasty Trails today. What an awesome system of trails we have here right in the city!

I love the novelty taking a new bus route for a fun errand. Great way to see other parts of the city

Missed this in my neighborhood: a car seems to have run into the side of a multi-unit house on Rainier Ave S. This is kitty-corner from the South Seattle Senior Center. Cars, man.

A large plywood board covers damage on the side of a home. It appears as though a car drove into the side of the building.

Grateful for having a robust transit network. I got a bad flat on my bike commute home. Walked one block and got right on the 7 bus. @kingcountymetro.bsky.social

This is a huge improvement. Glad to see. I still tend to take the walking path/16th Ave S over 15th, but all lanes are welcome lanes.

This is high I suspect. In my neighborhood (South Seattle), it’s $5.50 today

That’s a good point. I wonder if the potential bubble risk just feels more significant/like ‘08, because AI is being infused into all aspects of our digital lives and is on a lot of people’s minds. Idk

Rafi Ronquillo @rafironquillo.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Appreciate the response. I guess the difference in structure between the two seems maybe a bit of a red herring? I’m concerned that the effects of a serious correction on things like retirement accounts, could be pretty darn catastrophic. But I’m just a guy. I hope not!

Rafi Ronquillo @rafironquillo.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I’m not an economist. It seems like a major pillar of his argument is that the big 4 companies are so big they can just absorb the losses if/when an AI bubble implodes? That seems optimistic.

This has been something the Seattle Bike Advisory Board has been pushing for over a year.

Hillman City Block Party is an absolute blast. We biked car-free Lake Washington Blvd to get there. I love living in south Seattle. I love a Seattle summer.

Peak bike commute in today. Guy passing me on his bike gives me a ‘nice bike’, then, once passed with a double take, ‘and nice mustache!’

Inventing a new shared surface for the public to touch seems unwise from a public-health/hygiene standpoint.

The turnout for Bicycle Weekends today is amazing. And yeah, there are some counterprotestors trying to rain on everyone's parade. But there are no signs so far that anyone is going to let that happen.

Feeling grateful for the start of car-free Lake Washington Boulevard summer weekends. Seeing the small NIMBY counter protest reminds me that victories like these are only won with continued advocacy. We must keep fighting for accesible, car-free spaces in Seattle.

Hundreds of folks enjoying a lake Washington boulevard free of cars.

I know Wilson and @rvgreenways.bsky.social have the juice because they bring out the rancor in these folks. Was shocking to see in person.

They are exceptional, but not worth waiting +1hr. I’ve only ever had one when passing by at odd hours or when the line is <15 people.
