Not to mention an essentially perfect and seamless fare system, which I wish Seattle could implement.

The North-South is messy.

It's already like 95% complete, and its completion is also the trigger for a dramatic road revision for Spokane's massive stroad (Division) including new BRT line.

It shouldn't have been started however many decades ago, but at this point I'm in favor of its completion.

But at least they have bodegas, a concept which exists nowhere else on earth

Hear me out... Sudden Death Multi-Puck

The Spokane of Montana (complimentary)

Justin Timberlake lip syncing an entire The Killers song; Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson saying "Pimps don't commit suicide"; a bunch of Christofascist tech oligarchs listening to an off-kilter Spanish language version of the national anthem with obvious discomfort... Every frame a painting

Third-Degree Murder charges at the very least would seem appropriate.

Not saying this is fully relevant, but when Civil War (2024) came out people complained that it was completely implausible that CA and TX would both secede at once, and Alex Garland basically responded, "You really can't imagine ANY scenario in which a president could enrage both populations?"

Calvinism is at the root of much that is historically wrong with America, tbh

Renfrew Christie Dies at 76; Sabotaged Racist Regime’s Nuclear Program

Holy hell, what an obituary

My moon shot would be pedestrianized SFB from Stevens to Post, local delivery and emergency vehicles only, turn one lane into food truck parking, and put in ped scrambles at Stevens/SFB and Washington/SFB.

DropoutTV has taken a lot of inspiration from the UK "Cozy winking gameshow," aesthetic, applied to US improv culture

If you're gonna kill a pig, you should eat the whole pig

"Worst day of your life SO FAR," etc.

The way Spokane has successfully framed housing/zoning/parking reform as bipartisan and common sense needs to be studied and replicated nationwide.

Hell yeah. It turns out that maybe people actually like bold, ambitious, clearly communicated public infrastructure plans

My theory is that for millions of Americans, the Super Bowl halftime once a year is literally their only exposure to media and culture outside of old syndicated sitcoms and their local radio station.

It's like injecting five minutes of a teen's TikTok feed into the veins of an Amish person.

It's not just that these ICE clowns tear gassed a peaceful residential street... the dude accidentally tear gassed himself by dropping it next to his own vehicle instead of throwing it forward.

The thing about Riverfront Spo is that it's so comfortably human scaled, each discrete space has physical and visual separation and boundaries.

Other similar US spaces I've been to (Seattle, Chicago, DC) are lovely, but generally feel too large, too wide open.

Also Kasa's patio overlooking Ice Age Park!

It's probably not a huge number yet, but "5+" lumps the six-plexes in with big apartment projects, right? I wonder what it would look like with "5-6" and "7+"

Meanwhile, Spokane stays winning bsky.app/profile/spok...

The other side of the coin is the coalition of non-affluent urban abundance lefties and Republican homebuilding contractors, which is also weird, but here we are...

Broken clocks, and all that!

Most of our historical zoning regulations were either implicitly or explicitly racist, part and parcel with redlining and Mosesian destruction of city cores.

If both sides can be convinced to reform them for different ideological reasons, I can live with that.

Agreed, but the fact that Spokane Republicans have been talking mostly favorably about all this housing and zoning reform as cutting red tape and reducing regulations for the last four years might mean that the local culture has shifted far enough to resist easy backsliding.

Turns out you can actually build housing pretty quickly if your city has bipartisan political will to do so.
