I still think he was an asshole but man, I also think about this quote a lot, and for very different reasons than just 5 years ago.

"In the middle of the Pacific Ocean" — do they even know where Alcatraz is?

Yes... and it takes two to tango, so we can also "thank" the Bartell family for selling it to what was already a failing company at the time (while acknowledging that PBMs have made it difficult for independent drugstores to be successful).

Thank goodness all these elections (Germany, Canada, Australia) happened *after* the inauguration. Had the order been reversed, most of the West would have right/far-right governments by now 😬

A few years ago I attended a meet-and-greet with our French elected representative at La Parisienne, which I feel is quite the endorsement ☺️
A top contender in my list is Temple Pastries. Was just there last week and OMG their chocolate croissant is incredible.

And the fact that ChatGPT relies on Bing for web search doesn't really change the equation. Nobody would argue that DuckDuckGo is not a search engine, and yet they also rely on Bing.

He's *your* employee, of course you can (and should!) contact him and let him know what you think of his first 100 days and your support of an income tax! governor.wa.gov/contacting-g...

Trump wants to cut taxes for wealthy people and corporations? We tax them back dollar for dollar.
Trump wants to cut Medicaid? We pass universal healthcare.
Trump wants to cut Head Start? We pass universal pre-K.

The most frustrating part is that it is really the right time to take a big swing here in Washington, after the November initiatives were massively rejected, with DOGE being so impopular, with so many people willing to fight back locally against federal cuts.

Especially at a time his approval rating is in free fall! From +20 after the election to +5 this month. And that's even before people see prices go up and essential services being cut. At this pace he'll be in the red by the end of the year. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

It *will* be like this all the time. The pilot will be inevitably a success, and it's on us to make sure we don't let off the hook anyone pushing back on permanent pedestrianization.

Here's what I sent to our elected officials to voice my disappointment in seeing the legislature prioritize wealthy people and corporations over the children of our state, especially those from low-income working families.

And yes, early education includes kids 0-3. At my daughter's childcare center, the highest demand is for this age group. There are less options and less local funding than preschool/pre-K, making it hard to find open spots even if you can afford the tuition, almost impossible if you can't.

Some of these folks hear "lowrise residential" and they already picture the Columbia Tower next to their house, when they should really think "that brick apartment building down the street with the cute courtyard".

I make occasional updates there, so if you have a reference (e.g. newspaper article), I can try to add any relevant and factual information to his page.

Ah c'est marrant, comme le gros panneau "no turn on red" au-dessus des lumières ici ! Le mystère s'épaissit...

Looks pretty good! Most bobbleheads look comically wrong but this one is not bad at all.

My team at Twitter (pre-Musk) implemented something like this! It was targeting offensive replies specifically, and it was effective beyond expectations at reducing toxicity, both in the moment and in the long term. techcrunch.com/2021/05/05/t...

His defense was exceptional on Thursday. For sure we don't win that game without him.

Especially at a time the federal government is cutting left and right, and is on its way to making the federal tax system even more regressive!

Our train (allegedly) broke down because of the weight of all the people on board... and I contributed 160 lbs of said weight, so my apologies for breaking the light rail. 😅

Reminds me of the Edmonds Oktoberfest, a "kid-friendly event" (their words), whose beer garden was... 21+ 🤦

It also takes a special level of cowardice to vote yes on cloture and then no on the CR itself. You can't even own your own decision @schumer.senate.gov. A vote yes on cloture was a vote yes on the CR and you're fooling nobody.

Turns out it was 10, and my point still stands. You can't stay Minority Leader when you end up being outnumbered on such a consequential vote by a 1:4 margin.

I managed to get to voicemail at her Seattle office number. Glad to see from another comment that she's (allegedly) a NO but we need public statements in advance of the vote to put pressure on other Senators who are on the fence.

I miss the back entrance. It was a much more convenient way to access the pharmacy without having to go all the way around and through the store.

Probably the same folks who are dismissing privacy issues with "if you have nothing to hide..." 😔

A win/loss after extra time is a full win/loss (per the laws of the game). Similarly, a draw after extra time is generally counted as a draw regardless of the outcome of the shootout.

To think that I gave (a very nominal amount) to her campaign and every week she gives me a reason to regret it. 😔

This is my hometown! It is truly in the DNA of Marseille to welcome folks from around the world. The most diverse city in France, and proudly antiracist.

My local QFC introduced that trend a few years ago. And lost most of my business at the same time.

That's the first thing I looked for in the press release and there's no indication it will be automatic. There's a big difference between having to plan and buy your pass in advance vs. the flat rate being applied automatically after two taps. Hopefully they'll upgrade the system soon.
