One of the main reasons that WSDOT isn't in the passenger ferry business anymore is Tim Eyman. Prior to I-695, WSDOT did operate foot ferries in the 1990s. Then budget cuts forced the legislature to decide what its real priorities were (shockingly: cars).

“Just a cat”. Rude! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a lovely shorthaired grey cat standing on a line of smooth rocks that look like they may have been placed there to border a driveway or something. The cat is looking at the camera with its tail up, obviously friendly. Cursive handwriting in the upper left corner reads “Just a cat”.

The only reason Kristi Noem has any type of power was because John Thune vouched for her and BEGGED South Dakotans to vote for her for governor. This plus many other reasons is why John Thune is an absolute bitch ass douchebag who will always have to lurk in the shadows of Tom Daschel’s greatness.

A new security report from King County Metro shows that reported security incidents on buses are now less common than they were PRE-PANDEMIC, even after adjusting for somewhat lower bus ridership. In 2019, Metro saw 64 incidents per million boardings. In 2026 that number has dropped below 60.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Three years ago today. Let’s get out there and make fun of the fear mongering bullies. (And bring a jacket. It might rain).
A screenshot of a twitter post from Kat Abu: “Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn’t go well.“ It includes a picture of a white woman in a green jacket with a microphone in front of her. She is outside in Seattle, getting increasingly annoyed with the reporter trying to paint Seattle as a hellhole. She will soon turn to straight up mocking him.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
