I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.

How many products does Microsoft have named ‘Copilot’? I mapped every one
Update (9 Apr 2026): Another one. A helpful person sent in Microsoft 365 Copilot for US Government. That's 81. Chart updated.

the main reason these are better is because they're not always on, they only trigger when speeding is detected, not for all the other cars. Even with that data in the worst hands, stalking is difficult.

If ultimately it's the American taxpayers that pay the lawyers' fees and fines, then what does the regime care? It sure seems that they're exploiting an infinite money glitch to do crimes without consequence.

Seattle city council's District 5 has been held by pro-business backed candidates for a long time. Debora Juarez has held this seat on-and-off for nearly a decade. Cathy Moore won the seat in 2024, but resigned 18 months later. There is a special election *right now* to fill the seat until 2028.

But that's not how traffic in this area works. The continuous grid do exists, but only for buses, bikes and pedestrians. Many of the streets are either completely pedestrian or have modal filters and there are three short bus-only segments. They break and fragment the grid for cars.

I'm convinced that in order to succeed with the school streets, we'll have to "flood the zone with (good) shit". Do every single one at once, overwhelm the tedious busybody do-nothings, they can't possibly mire every one down.

I would love for the energy spent saving one tree in Seattle to instead be directed towards saving the thousands of trees that are cut each year for our sprawling suburbs and rural estates.

We replaced the entire 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington, tore down the Alaskan Way Viaduct, bored, broke, dug out, fixed, continued boring a tunnel with the world's largest tunnel boring machine, and built an entire new waterfront during the entire time this has been held up by SEPA.
