Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 4/11/25, 8:36 am

The state House and Senate have passed different caps on rent increases. I mean 10% + inflation is better than the status quo, but also, it could be better. I do hope they can reconcile them. And that it’s closer to the original House version.

Anyway, if you want to contact your legislator or member of Congress, go for it.

Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 4/9/25, 8:18 am

– Feels like randomly, or at least arbitrarily, revoking visas is bad.

– Hannah Krieg has a new reporting venture. Go check it out. While you’re there, go read this story; Republicans are so afraid of homeless people and such violent asssholes. Um, allegedly.

– Good turnout at the anti-ICE rally.

– *Sports Chant* E-Bike Rebate 👏👏👏👏 👏👏

Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 4/7/25, 8:12 am

If social media is to be believed, a bunch of you went to various hands off protests. I didn’t realize it was happening and probably would have gone unless my parents mentioned that they were going. But it was pretty great to see so many people in Seattle Center and pictures from around the world. Hope we can follow it up with more action.

Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 4/4/25, 1:32 pm

Sorry it’s late. I had a too early meeting with East Coast people and then went for a walk instead of doing this. Now I’m having a too late lunch.

– At the start of the year I didn’t know anything about elevator reform. Now I’m sad it didn’t pass. Next year.

– Make recycling better in Washington.

– It turns out that cutting Medicaid has negative outcomes.

– Hell yeah Bike Works

Wednesday?!

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 4/2/25, 8:10 am

– Should you honk your horn? I know there can be safety issues, but honestly I don’t think cars ought to come with horns.

– The Tacoma ICE facility man, get your shit together, and the legislature ought to pass House Bill 1232.

– Spokane Valley, stop helping ICE be asssholes.

– Windmill Farms should recognize its union.

– Good news for people who like writing and calling people. You can contact your legislator or member of Congress.
