This whole interview is harrowing. Amazon workers are getting fucked and ot needs to stop. If it’s government action, if it’s unionization if it’s customer backlash or something else, the status quo is unacceptable.
But holy shit, everyone. We planted one tree…. one fucking tree…. one goddam tree 6000 miles away from where we killed your son. One tree. For your caregiver. One motherfucking tree.
Everyone? How are we?

Sorry the open thread so late, in my defense I just plan forgot.
Patty Murray has done a lot of good lately. Probably the best in decades. Maybe it’s easier to be in opposition to a garbage human than the drudgery of governing. But, a lot of Senators have not been up to the task. Cantwell is significantly worse. The rest of Senate leadership has been worse.
And yet.
It’s probably best if this is her last term. She won election in 1992. And there has been there ever since. She’s now of the longest serving members.
It would probably be a good primary election to replace her. A lot of people would like a shot at it. I think it would be good to get some new blood.
The point is it’s fine to retire in your 70’s. Even if you’re still doing good work. Leave them wanting more. But only if you leave.
Please join us tonight as the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally gets together to discuss politics, elections, the media, and whatnot over a cold one.
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.

So, wildfire season has started in Washington. I had been enjoying the weather, but of course there’s a downside. Get ready for smokey days.
Happy filing week to all who celebrate. And hey, if your local elected officials aren’t up to snuff, there’s a good chance that they’re up for election now. You might as well run if nobody you like is stepping up.
Anyway:
That’s right. The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight. Swing by and join the conversation and relax over a drink.
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.

Remember a while ago when like every open thread was Carl has something to say about the library? Anyway here’s another Carl rides his bike post.* It was either that or complain about taking the bus in Tacoma again.**
Anyway, the bike lane is for moving bikes (and scooters, etc.). I understand people crossing the road or going out of their cars are going to be in the bike lane for a second. But!
Stop walking long ways through it. Especially on 2nd where there’s ample sidewalk. And for God’s sake, holding hands? There’s a sidewalk. It’s bad enough being stuck behind slow walkers when I’m walking, but when I’m on a bike?
And are people parking their Lime Bikes in the bike lane or are people putting them there? Either way, please stop.
I love having the bike lanes. It’s so much nicer than when I moved to the urban core, let alone growing up in the area. I think a little consideration would make them even better.
* Carl, you had too many Carl rides his bike pieces from the jump.
** The 3 takes such a weird detour to the Tacoma Mall and then just sits there before doubling back for a bit??? Also, not a complaint or the bus, but T Line got good at some point!
