Forgot I was coming in to work early, so quick post from me. Wash your hands. Get vaccinated.

The legislature starts next week. What do you want from them?

For me, it’s time — it’s past time — to get density around transit stops. Come on. Let’s get it done.

I would also like as much funding for abortion as we can get. If we have the votes, and the polling looks good, we should have a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights.

And for you, I hope that you wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

I don’t necessarily think that if you have nothing positive to say about the dead, you should just zip it. But sometimes. So mum’s the word.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. A for goodness sake, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

A rare Thursday thread. I am mostly not working, but maybe you are.

We’re in the worst of all possible worlds regarding stand to the right. Most people at the underground light rail stations stand to the right on escalators. But! Enough people are standing 2 deep or just on the right that it’s ruining the whole thing. When I am in a hurry, I would like to be able to walk up them.

At least the Capitol Hill Station escalators work.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Is it snowing where you are? It snowed a bit in the Seattle urban core, but nothing stuck other than a bit on cars. Still, it’s nice to be able to walk in it last night. Hopefully, your commute isn’t bad.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for God’s sake get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Get tested right before you see family or some other group of people over the holidays.

– Troubling but not surprising is a good way to describe the Troyer verdict. Probably better for a pastor to use than oh shit and no shit.

– Last chance for free COVID-19 tests from the Washington State government. Might as well get some. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– I have maintained that Joe Kent is entitled to his recount and that it wasn’t going to change much. Well duh.

– Kevin McCarthy not being Speaker would be funny, but I imagine anyone else would be worse.

– Since Twitter has been made in its owner’s image: Everyone is talking about him, and it’s boring as hell, do you have a social media recommendation? I think I will probably just post longer open threads and maybe other posts if y’all can behave in them.

– The waterfront needs a lot more connections to the rest of Seattle. So yeah, I dig the new waterfront bridge. Yippee skippy for infrastructure!

– I am not a college student, so this interview with Congresswoman elect Marie Gluesenkamp Perez wasn’t for me. But I thought it was interesting.

– Overall, I am very happy with extending the outdoor dining rules in Seattle. 2 annoyances as they are doing business in my neighborhood: This time of year, a lot of leaves are getting caught in the structures and making more of a mess than usual when it rains. The only thing is that they can get pretty noisy, including during weekdays. I hope that they decide to be better on their own.

– Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Goddam miracle and some of you are just ignoring it.

– What happens to salmon also happens to people.

– Fuck that algorithm. Rent is too high.

– Anyone going back to masks (first item)? I still wear a mask on public transportation.

– But it’s more important that you get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Get that shot before you see grandma over Christmas.

It’s inconvenient, but it’s better that Metro take defective busses off the road than to risk an accident. Maybe I would think something else if it was one of my routes. I hope it gets resolved quickly.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Does anyone else feel like One Bus Away is less accurate lately? I don’t know. It seems like it has been giving me weird information lately. I got to a stop 5 minutes early the other day, and it just never came. I understand that will happen sometimes, but I would hope One Bus Away would tell me.

It’s still good most of the time. But I have been noticing more minor weirdness. It’s obviously easier to notice problems than to fix them.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for goodness sake, for goodness sake, for goodness sake, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– Did you all enjoy the snow over the weekend? We had very little Downtown, but it looked like quite a bit in Suburbia and in the South Sound.

– Congratulations to WSU on getting to the historic Jimmy Kimmel L.A. Bowl. Who could forget its storied past?

– I am get vaccinated guy, but also get vaccinated for the flu.

– Tax them capital gains. Collect the heck out of them.

– If you’re a woman, trans man, or NB who can get pregnant and you’re under 45, King County is recommending that you get screened for syphilis.

– Councilmember Sawant can call cops murderers to her heart’s content.

– Wash your damn hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted with the fucking miracle before you see your family at Christmas.

– Good morning. I hope you aren’t too inconvenienced by the snow and wind. Nothing stuck in the urban core, but maybe where you are?

– If Joe Kent wants to waste his doner’s money on a recount, more power to him, I guess. It would have to be a much greater swing than the governor’s race in 2004, but with fewer voters.

– Bring them grizzly bears back to Washington.

Wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, or if you don’t celebrate, long weekend, or if you had to work, a good time at work.

– It is bad to have dinner with a violent white supremacist, right?

– Firmageddon

– Ranked choice is coming to Seattle…eventually.
