Absolute morons through and through

“After killing 88-year-old Shinko Oshino on Saturday, Mark Adams is accused of driving south to Tacoma, where he struck two other people with his car, about 2 ½ hours apart”

Introducing the SHUT UP Act, a bill that reduces harmful noise exposure and eliminates vehicle nuisances by making it a misdemanor to:

– modify your vehicle exhaust
– “roll coal"
– obstruct or cover your license plate
– excessively tint your windows
– use aftermarket LED headlights

The best way to honor the Gaudreau brothers is to advocate for active transportation infrastructure in your community and to follow traffic laws, especially the speed limit, at all times.

If that second part is too hard, ride a bike.

Our government does not provide a safe transportation network.
Our governments do not mandate safe vehicle design.
Our governments do not punish driver-caused fatalities to the same extent as other homicides, and do not prioritize law enforcement based on driving behaviors that lead to fatalities.

If the US properly prioritized safe streets, safe vehicle design, and safe driving behaviors.
Nothing has changed since his death a year and a half ago.
Over 110 Americans will be killed by drivers today, and another 110+ tomorrow, just as over 110 died yesterday.

Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were riding their bikes the day before their sister's wedding when they were killed by a driver of an SUV

Amazing gesture by the US team to honor Johnny
Johnny's parents were in the stands
The kids in the photo are Johnny's
And Johnny could have been there

SCL doesn’t ask the public if we want safe transmission lines.
SPU doesn’t ask the public if we want safe watermains.
Boeing Field doesn’t ask the public if we want a safe runway.
WSDOT doesn’t ask the public if we want safe bridges.
Why does SDOT put safe streets up for debate?

Disband ICE and give their budget to the IRS Criminal Investigation branch. Surging these guys in the Hamptons and Palm Beach would reap the greatest benefits for the American public of any law enforcement action.

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social cool map

Map of downtown Seattle with queueing spaces in red.

How much of downtown Seattle is just queueing space for the freeway?

XL please!

Federal Way does have a left-friendly gun shop with a clean, well ventilated indoor range that doesn't cost more than a meal to use

But that's pretty much it

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Vibrant Cities Act, Bob

No one “decided” to screw over anyone. The issue of parking in a major city leads to unavoidable trade-offs as it grows, and I’m glad leaders chose not to bulldoze a ton of Seattle for more parking.

We need land value tax, Bob

Not income tax

Generates revenue, housing, and employment

Went off without a hitch? Went off without a trailer too! 🥁

Seattle city planners hired a consultant to analyze feasibility of downtown housing typologies & given the sky high fees to build, hard costs & parking costs, every model was rated “infeasible”

Highrise Res: $605k/unit
Mixed use: $710k/unit
Mass timber: $605k/unit
Office to Res: $640k/unit

We are not in a position to freeze it.

No zoning
No community review
No process

And looks great.

And then when it's not the world cup, they can be used so you can talk to AIs of historic figures, like MLK and ask what the fake version of him had for breakfast

This is Caleb lol

Did you get his 3rd down rush for a first down?

I called Sam was gonna throw scissors

no car is better - fix your town's zoning
