Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 1/8/25, 8:31 am

– 2 years late, but congrats to SPD on firing a giant fuckup. Hopefully now the good apples can finally note that it’s bad to kill someone and then joke about it.

– Not just the Puget Sound, housing is expensive in Spokane too. Hopefully some of their newish reforms will bring prices down over time.

The Stranger has a bill tracker. I would advise you to find a bill you find interesting and good. Track it, sure, but also contact your legislators and try to get it passed. Maybe find an org that’s doing lobbying.

Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 1/6/25, 7:59 am

An hour ago, I didn’t know Washington state had an intercity bus. Now I would like to see it expanded. Maybe ride it, although it doesn’t seem super convenient to Seattle.

Have any of you taken it? Is it worse than the Greyhound bus would be on a similar route?

Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 1/3/25, 7:56 am

With the new year, Amazon employees have to work from the office. I live fairly close to the headquarters, and have been working from home. I haven’t noticed — in two traditionally light days — particularly bad traffic. Or like coffee shops and restaurants being particularly full.
