Open Thread!

Seattle, we’re such weather wimps. This weekend we’ll hear oh, it’s too hot! Oh, I don’t have AC. My children can’t get comfortable. Pretty soon the inevitable I can’t open my window because of all the smoke, and I just want to be able to breathe.

Open Thread 7 May

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 5/8/19, 7:59 am

The second time in as many weeks coming home from Drinking Liberally, the bus passed without stopping. Last week another one came soon. Yesterday it was 10 more minutes. It was pleasant out, but goddam. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but should I call Metro if it happens again?

Open Thread Monday!

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 5/6/19, 8:05 am

Social media is a part of a lot of people’s jobs. This can cause a gray area in some situations. But transitioning from HR crude (to say the least!) messages is a workplace problem. Don’t be gross at work, even when you are not officially on the clock, to potential coworkers. Obviously, don’t creep even if it’s not at work too.

Friday May 3rd Open Thread.

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 5/3/19, 8:30 am

I was at the bus stop not super late, but post rush hour. There were a handful of people at the stop. When I saw my bus coming, I walked over and waited first in line. As I stated to board, the driver gave me the wait signal, as someone else was taking a minute to exit.

And then as I was waiting, someone goes around me trying to board. Like I just decided to stop! Then when he realized there was someone getting off the bus, he stayed in the head of the line. Seriously, what?

Open Thread; Optional Thread

How can anyone write a thread when it’s so nice out? I could have written something last night? Well I didn’t so you’re stuck with this nonsense.

Another weekend another shooting in America. This time Chabad of Poway. It is another damn shame. Another toxic mix of hate and guns.

Fuck. It’s all so depressing. Talk to your kids if they’re espousing this kind of hate.

CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.

Hey y’all, it’s that time again. Time for some spring cleaning? Yes, but I was also thinking of the Northwest Progressive Institute spring funding gala. It looks like a pretty good lineup as usual.

President Trump sure did a lot of things that look like crimes. I mean asking people to commit crimes on your behalf is pretty crimish. Don’t have people crime for you, everyone.

This is a week or so old, but I had not heard about it before. Some kid who seems disturbed is scary as hell. Also, he swims in a pervasive antisemitism. I don’t know how we deal with it, but letting him have guns seems like a bad idea.

Important Thunderpussy news!

Now that I have your attention, it’s trademark news. It seems like a different category than FUCT to me, but I am no trademark staffer or attorney.

And kudos to KUOW for actually saying Thunderpussy on my morning radio.

I appreciate that a police tower may be necessary in some cases, seeing the picture is a lot. I mean how do you insure that you are just intimidating criminals and not the public more broadly, especially in communities of color? That said the article says that the towers go to sports stadiums, so I have presumably seen them in the wild and not noticed them.

OK, you’re still out there, but why, man?

We all know it’s just lie, lie, lie, man.

It might sound appealing,

But you can’t go self dealing!

Here’s hoping the court says “goodbye, man.”
