It’s time to undo the damage of the Durkan administration and put the bike lanes on 35th NE. The plans are still ready to go, let’s do it! @mayor.seattle.gov @transportation.seattle.gov

A functioning city government would be out here dealing with this issue and instead it’s just nothing. I’m confused what anyone does all day.

Still a problem today.

Most predictable outcome ever and the city still just lets it happen.

I hate this intersection so much. Basically see a dozen people a week ignoring no right on red, sometimes even the red light itself.

I was going to say at least the weather's nicer, but looks like the heat wave is coming for us too...

We need folks cheering for RCV and Term Limits to instead get excited for party-list proportional representation.

But I also think higher, progressive taxes used to socialize risk and improve everyday people’s lives is a good thing the state should do more of. So I’m a Capitalist Socialist? Words have meaning!

Carl @subzidion.com · 19/06/2026
Yeah, that one’s super frustrating too.

That’s something to take up with the actual socialists. I think a lot of normies do genuinely struggle with the actual difference, though.

I just feel bad for the actual socialists.

If we want to go 100% electric, won't we still be behind on capacity though, even with this? We'd end up trying to buy wholesale on the same market these data centers will end up (regardless of what city they get built in), right?

Carl @subzidion.com · 04/06/2026
Seattle City Light has had a power capacity problem brewing for years. Whether it's data centers or electric vehicles, they're going to have to bring a lot more generation online sooner rather than later...

Sounds like the Metro Customer Service has it

What I've learned is in practice people are very willing to compromise on their values if it inconveniences them otherwise. And those that don't compromise and ended up here are mostly assholes about it.

Carl @subzidion.com · 12/05/2026
Wait this looks pretty good.

Carl @subzidion.com · 12/04/2026
Bare minimum I think we should “promote” everyone in the House to the Senate and replace the house with party-list proportional. Best way to get buy-in from current electeds and get some really meaningful change.
010
Carl @subzidion.com · 12/04/2026
Let’s make it mixed-member proportional representation while we’re at it. I think folks would be happy with some form of party-list allocation rather than every district being winner take all.

We should get Dems to start with a parliament in the WA Legislature first

Carl @subzidion.com · 12/04/2026
Have you seen the presentations from City Light over the past few years? Costs continue to rise as they have ridden the coattails of conservation the last decade or so and we’re going to start paying the price (literally) not just with data centers but also if we want to go zero carbon.

It’s surreal politicians think quadrupling their property tax revenue is a bad thing.

A coworker of mine gets prompted asking if they should take a break pretty regularly, sometimes right at the beginning of a session. Maybe I’m not nice enough to Opus.

Help out if you can!

Don't disagree. But the first step is getting off the Bad Site that propagates nonconsensual sexual images.

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social @alexis4seattle.bsky.social Seattle when?

Carl @subzidion.com · 11/01/2026
This is something I wouldn't expect the previous administration to respond to, but am hopeful that @mayorofseattle.bsky.social and @councilmember-amr.bsky.social will understand the significance of and opportunity for Seattle to lead. (As well as with domain verification!)

I'm just going to keep posting about other folks getting off the Bad Site until the City of Seattle gets it together. Feel free to help me pile on.
