in all of continental US?? as late as 1962??

NEW: @seattledot.bsky.social is hosting a drop-in meeting about this Monday March 16, 4:30-6:00pm at Populus, 100 S. King Street. Stop by anytime in person on Monday and let them know if you think we should be removing a few illegal parking spaces to make our streets safer and more accessible.

in America we believe that children should be bombed by good ol’ cisgender service members

and bikes, buses, and trains. and density so more places are walkable

the oil outside got blown up but at least they’ll stop extracting more for a while

another potential ally for dealing with this could be Erica Barnett of PubliCola: bsky.app/profile/eric...

so discriminatory and encouraging of waste. as if “online-only” outlets aren’t as valid because they don’t kill trees in order to exist

well the new combined lane will be a foot smaller. sucks for bikes but will be less comfortable for cars to squeeze into at least

an Autodesk Fusion model of a waterpoof case that screws onto an LED matrix display. there is space inside the case for a Raspberry Pi and some cables

the aforementioned LED matrix panel screwed to a piece of a plastic storage container with a piece of a plastic food container JB Welded to the back of it for the Raspberry Pi and cables

forgot to take a video of the LED marquee I made for my bike, so enjoy this 3D model for a custom case I'm modeling for it in the meantime. why do I need a custom case? see the second picture for my current solution

I want to massively reduce spending on highway expansions, use every tool available including new taxes to suppress ICE prison operation, reform police to focus on deescalation and crisis care, and fund tons of rail infra. but Pedersen's reply has usually been "that's unlikely to happen"

my read based on contacting him about issues that are important to me and his responses, is that he's very much an incrementalist. he doesn't have the confidence to make really bold change. he did well with the million/year income tax recently but that's about it

hard disagree. Pedersen was getting complacent. and no-contest "races" are boring

I hate Mike Lee. he used to be my senator. but we might actually agree on cutting spending here lol

gotta fight with every tool we got

I long for municipal fiber

omg is “on your left” your official campaign slogan

cool, makes it easier to vote no

when I moved out of Cap Hill I had to park my moving truck half a block away and carry all my stuff across two crosswalks to reach it. if parking was more expensive and more spots were free I could have parked closer

yeah has anyone been to Cap Hill? because it’s going to end up like Cap Hill. sincerely, someone who park their moving truck half a block away and carry all of their stuff across two crosswalks to reach it

if Issaquah, the city whose downtown association is literally headquartered in a historical gas station, can get rid of parking mandates before Seattle, that will truly be embarrassing for us

how long has it been since the state bill passed, a year?

I’m actually happy to see that Pennsylvania is at risk of losing a seat

I’m a little less worried about the house because it’s not as much of a given which seats will go where, even with gerrymandering. but the electoral college is absolute in all but two states

so does abolishing the electoral college, but baby steps

complete nonsensical non-sequiter. there's nothing to even analyze, it's just word salad

sample from a great thread on the millionaires tax being debated in the house right now #waleg

I often long for the free healthcare and amazing transit and bike infrastructure of more developed countries. but at the same time I don't want to permanently leave the US, as bad as it can be. I think for similar reasons

also love the bike throughout

here's to electing a state senator who doesn't crush all my hopes whenever I voice my opinion about a bill

we need this for Bell Street Park
