Not working is somehow making this post even shorter. But, for my last open thread of the year, sadly it is exactly this short.

Tonight, the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will toast in the new year and usher out 2025 …usher it right down to the gates of hell. Stop by and enjoy the festivities!

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room starting about 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

It’s a thread. It’s open. It’s a Monday. You get it.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room starting about 8:00pm.

Good morning.

• Seems like a few relatively dry days in Seattle, but our friends in Portland have filled the pipe (it’s down again now).
• I don’t know how much a Sara Nelson endorsement will matter in 2 years. But being the kind of person who endorses her, may be a vulnerability.
• Man, fuck ICE for coming to New Holly, but really impressed by the organizing.
• Confidential to the guy wearing shorts: No.

All right. Let’s all dry out before the next round. I hope your houses and places of employment are relatively dry.

• I saw a lot of people biking yesterday and throughout the atmospheric river. While it definitely kept me off my bike, good infrastructure is better than good weather.
• Pete Serrano seems like a real piece of work. Also, he has too many jobs.
• The SPOG contract is not ideal. (second item)

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets this evening for some politics over a pint. Stop by if you can.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room starting about 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Stay dry everybody, but especially those of you biking or walking in this. Or living in the floodplain. Geez, we’ve had enough.

• What to do when ICE comes to your town
• Those Flock cameras are really flocked up.
• Maritza Rivera acting surprised by SPOG’s leader being a jerk is some real CYA after approving the contract.
• Let’s ban police face covering in Washington.
• Looking forward to the Pride Match.
