Good morning you lovelies (and uggos). I re-download the WordPress app and the bullets look funny. Hope it comes out better, or I can find the settings to go back.

Was This What the Righties Wanted All Along?

by — ,

I sometimes think back to my 20-year-old arguments with the local righties at (un)Sound Politics (by far the dominant political blog in WA state before HA kicked its ass), and I wonder: Is this what they wanted?

Screenshot of tweet describing our slide into fascism.

I mean, hey, Stefan and company, they won. Republicans control the House, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court, and they are using that power to prosecute political enemies, kidnap immigrants (and immigrant-looking citizens if they choose to), send troops into peaceful cities, and threaten the arrest of Democrats who oppose them. Republicans are in the process of establishing a one-party authoritarian state.

So I kinda wish my old rivals were still around so that I could ask them if they are feeling any regrets about their contributions to the GOPer cause? Or is destroying the Constitution okay with them as long as they own the libs?

I guess I got out of the habit of making these things. Anyway, thanks to Washington being one of the West Coast vaccine states I was able to get my flu shot and COVID booster yesterday. I have got those shots at the same pharmacy, last year so maybe my insurance is on record with them. But! Nobody asked if it was up to date or anything like that. Go make an appointment of you aren’t vaccinated or boosted this year.

Look who’s back. Anyway…

Before the Viaduct was closed, there was an off ramp that I always said was the place I would die. Cars would not slow down enough for city traffic, let alone pedestrians. But in the shadow of the former Viaduct, there is a new place where I think I am going to die.

Specifically people taking an illegal right turn to the Coleman Dock. Between infrastructure clearly meant to indicate don’t turn and 2 signs, you have to be the worst kind of asshole driver to do it. And yet, all the damn time. I have seen so many close calls.

I don’t know if there’s a fix with infrastructure keeping people better separated from cars. Or cameras. Or emphasis patrols. But damn, it needs something.

And just to be clear: This isn’t a cars versus bikes and pedestrians thing. Most cars follow the signs and get there with the lights. People making the illegal right turn are cutting in line in front of them, as well as being dangerous.

Boycott KOMO-4 Open Thread

by — ,

Carl has been having trouble posting from his phone app since I updated the site’s software (as if he doesn’t have a fucking computer), so until we get that fixed I thought I’d fill in and post an open thread.

No Kimmel in Seattle or Portland.

Sinclair-owned KOMO-4 has long been the champion of the hateful, derogatory, and deceitful “Seattle Is Dying” meme. They hate Seattle, hate our people, disrespect their viewers, and despise the First Amendment. They are a fascist propaganda mill. Their so-called “journalists” should be shunned and their advertisers boycotted. Local elected officials should refuse to grant them interviews and local candidates should deny the station political advertising dollars.
