Cool, informative, interactive. (The interactive part may work better in larger screens than a phone)

Happy #InternationalWomensDay    Just a reminder to men, you don't need to invoke your daughters, mothers, wives, or any other women to justify sympathetic stances towards women's rights issues.

This cat culture thing where you do an intertwined weaving walk with your loved ones is going to kill this human trying to do house projects.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

tired of people treating trump like he is anything other than an ego-driven simpleton (i wrote this, this is a piece about why he is nothing more than an ego driven simpleton.)

4 door hatchback! Honda Fit fans rejoice

I think what bugs me most about this line of Democratic response is the implication that if there had been concrete plans to lower prices, the rest would’ve been fine. The rest is not fine! It is very much not fine!

I love a good reversal

Before Trump, never in my lifetime did I think I’d see a President abandon an American ally to side with Vladimir Putin—a Russian dictator who paid the Taliban to kill American soldiers. Aid to Ukraine isn’t charity, it’s an investment in our own national security interests.

Dustin protected kids from tobacco products. Arielle worked to make childbirth safer. Amy made sure donor organs would get to critically ill patients. Trump & Musk fired them all—& thousands more public health workers whose work was critical to keeping families & communities safe.

On Thursday I interviewed a man living in a tiny house village in Seattle who has a full time job. Together with his partner he makes $5k a month; the two are saving up for a security deposit. The average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Seattle is $2,029 a month. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/o...

Alot of folks are convinced that the default state of being a human being, the standard human being if you will, is being a straight white guy and that any deviation from that is either a societal experiment gone wrong, a draconian conspiracy, or a crisis of unimaginable proportions

Omg yes this

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

This is my total fantasy

Check the linked article for some hope and perspective. Thanks to Derek for sharing

So cool

For folks in DC with animal pals

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

Relatable

Straight up crime boss

Team Trump feels like the epitome of fake it til you make it and perception is reality. Facts become quaint.

I did need this! Thanks for making this happen Gov. F!

oh.

I had no idea vaccines were cumulative.

We have three competing elements fighting for finite land in Seattle Housing Trees Parking You can only pick two I would pick Housing and Trees, but a lot of what I heard at City Council was folks who already have nice warm stable Housing pick Trees and Parking for everyone else.

People don’t consider what was lost when THEIR house was built

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

I feel like I’ve been slacking on cat content. This is Buster in the box (stray who became a pet) and Hector in the chair (skittish stray who visits every night)

What flexposts say: "We could use steel bollards but a bollard might scratch a car and that would be a tragedy. So, we're going to use these instead — things literally designed to be run over — because protecting even one car from a scratch is worth thousands of pedestrian deaths every year."

Look at how much of Seattle is preserved as a single family house monoculture. Those white areas on the map could use some housing options!!!!

The selfishness on display from Seattle’s existing residents who only care about their personal views and historic landmarks and a handful of trees in the face of massive climate change, people moving here for a safer life, & catastrophic homelessness are just heartbreaking to listen to. 💔

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

If ur testifying tomorrow ur gonna want to do something that Erin House taught us called a testimony sandwich. Most of these CM’s are full of bologna but you want your comment to be short & sweet. Put ur ask at top & the end. “I want you to restore the original alternative 5 zoning proposal.”

This is my industry. Is my business about to crash? How many housemates do I need to afford my mortgage if I’m working fast food or something?

I often hear voters say they wanted Trump to be President because he’s a businessman and will run our country like a business. What people still don’t realize is he was such a lousy businessman he bankrupted casinos. Casinos! That business acumen currently on full display.

I would like more people to build me delicious breakfast sandwiches. That's why I'm requiring that every time they build me a delicious breakfast sandwich, they have to give a second breakfast sandwich away for half off. I am confident many sandwich purveyors will enter the market to do this for me!
