Are you excited about how we’re definitely going to solve nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula this afternoon? I mean sure, there’s a tiny little bitty chance that nothing happens. Or that something happens that makes things worse.

A surprisingly good unexpected joy in Seattle comes when you pick up a Lime Bike off the ground. Strangers will thank you. When there are several bikes, other people will often help. It’s great. There are a few seconds of community and then back to whatever we were doing. I know, it’s free labor for a private company, but still, can’t beat it.

I’m looking forward to the employment numbers this morning. I may have been briefed on them yesterday, but today I’ll really delve deeper. I’ll be sure to keep Tweeting if I find something interesting.

Prime rate held steady at 79.2%. That’s a number.

They slightly revised the April numbers too. Did you know they could do that?

So Ambien got Rosanne fired?

I blame Ambien for America’s inability to apologize.

Ambien made slavery and Jim Crow.

Ambien fucked up all that money.

Jesus Christ on the Cross, did Ambien make conservatives forgot that they pretend to be about personal responsibility?

It’s not on their website, but KUOW had a piece on the band Thunderpussy. It was fantastic how many times they said it. I have no idea who in standards and practices approved it, but all the kudos.

White American Evangelical Christians are going to have to figure out how far they’re willing to go along with Trump. I know, how about stop when he discriminated against Black people in housing? Or when he took his first shit in a gold plated toilet in a tower over a then impoverished city. Or when he said Mexicans are rapists. Or when when they heard him bragging about all the sexual assault. Or his attacks on food stamps and insurance while giving tax cuts to the wealthy. Or the sex outside marriage.

I know, for decent people support for Trump should have waned long ago, or never started. But now it’s at least a possibly that paid for one of his mistress’ abortions. Now, I don’t care if it wasn’t coerced. But White Evangelicals have been pretending that abortion is the same thing as murder for decades. I don’t think that they will care, but maybe that will be too far.
