Light rail fare inspector ending his little speech explaining that he'll be checking that we paid: Let me know if you have any questions. Me to half the car: Why don't we tax the rich so everyone can ride the train for free? momentary silence Fares for public services are a regressive tax.

Tonight I met the impressive Harry Conic Jr., a lifelong professional in traffic engineering. He's working the night shift in freezing temperatures to improve Seattle's roads.

Elder Millennials, most of us are now old enough that more time has passed since our births than had passed between the end of WW2 and our births.

Had a dream in which I, an American, was explaining Canadian parliament to some other Americans but couldn't pronounce Poilievre correctly. I kept trying, but the last syllable would make my mouth malfunction like Agent Smith was asking me what good a phone call would be if I was unable to speak.

Does anyone else think that "The Resistance" should be updated to "The Rebellion"? Just asking for a friend.

I love calling my grown-ass cat "Mister Baby" when he needs firm redirection from being a butthead.

CIA to media: Demonize Putin's Russia as an oligarchy of criminals. Media: Russia oligarchy bad. Be glad we no have. Americans: What's an olegarchy? internets Oh, a ruling minority class. And you say this one's especially bad because of the crime? looks around US

The idea of voting with your wallet is noble and not totally ineffective, but it's possibly the weakest form of protest and is encouraged in US democracy to blunt interest in more direct action. Buying from one oligarch instead of another doesn't free us from their system.

I don't mind my age and cohort, but being an Elder Millennial is getting embarrassing because of those among us who are in power or currently being swept into power by the generations who are afraid to let go.

Request for Gen Z from an Elder Millennial: Please call us Moomers. I think it would be hilarious, and Boomers may finally unclench and feel better about being teased. You have my blessing to reply, "ok, Moomer."

Polyamorous friends, let's use the abbreviation polyam instead of poly. Poly is also used by Polynesian people, and visible polyamory is an overwhelmingly white thing at this time. Let's not trample another group's abbreviation and keyword.

I'm convinced that the International Fountain plaza in Seattle Center was designed with international espionage in mind. It's an excellent movie-style spy meeting place with well-spaced benches and constant fountain white noise and music. Let's have a clandestine meeting.
