– There are 109 more important things, but why are you buying a card with Ewoks on it and writing about a Disney princess?
– Transit in Rainier, pleez.
– Vancouver, please reject this nonsense.

Man fuck English ivy. Ban the shit out of it. I have pulled so many of the fuckers. I imagine many of you who aren’t apartment dwellers have pulled even more. They’re invasive fuckers and they choke out natives. Yuck.
But also whenever I see ivy sold at a garden store or whatever I have to wonder who buys it. Like fine, it can be a decorative indoor plant that can be contained to a pot. Just fucking grab some clippers and grab yourself some. Look at all those goddam roots, you don’t need to buy it. Honestly, if you’re buying it, you can’t be trusted with it.
And if you’re looking for outdoor use, why not go eat shit instead?

If you don’t know, I have a podcast, and on this week’s episode we interview President Joe Biden about his very “middle-out” economic legacy.
Honestly, it feels like a bit of a consolation prize given the outcome of November’s election, but either way, omigod what a weird journey it’s been from foul-mouthed local blogger to this. Just goes to show that anybody who says this nation is a meritocracy has no idea what they’re talking about. In real life, luck, path dependence, and compounding are the signal while merit amounts to mere noise.
So, eat it, trolls. And everybody else, please give it a listen.

Good morning.
It looks like bird flu is becoming a problem in humans. This is scary shit and will probably get worse in the Trump Administration. It’s something that a competent administration could dealt with, but we have seen that they are not a competent administration when it comes to disease management.
It seems from the article that Washington and Oregon are doing a better job of testing people than Idaho. Still, the diseases don’t stop at state borders.

Listen, people are innocent until proven guilty. And in general I am fine with people running for a district they don’t live in; Let the people decide. Still, the law is there, and you can’t just lie that blatantly.
So I guess let John Ley serve until he’s found guilty. But geez man. These Republicans who see election fraud everywhere sure are eager to commit some. Allegedly.
