Cell service in the Bus Tunnel* is here for T-Mobile users and will be here for everybody soon. And if you need to call 9-1-1, you can no matter what carrier you have.
It’s an overall good, but there are downsides. I will be sad to see the end of people being too loud getting cut off by a tunnel. What a joy that always is, gone because technology is amazing.

Today’s entry in the Miloscia is the worst category: Seriously, what the fuck? “We want to make sure Washington State has adequate voting rights” “Are you a Christian? Lady in a hijab, are you a Christian?” I mean.
Matthew 10:8-10
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

I have great admiration for Seattlish following who is filing for mayor. Actually trying to figure out the stances of the various cranks. It’s important work. Who knows what the non-voter paid the same filing fee as everyone else, why not inform the voters a tiny bit about them. In our democracy, well, none of them are as bad as the President.
Also, not to get too meta but “they also seems to be a little green when it comes to Seattle politics (they says Mayor Ed Murray “seems like a really nice guy” which made me snort-laugh)” legit made me snort-laugh.
Oh man. I missed Bus Driver Appreciation Day. But I definitely appreciate my bus drivers. For making my commute possible. For making the city run smoothly. Thanks. I’ll try to live every day with appreciation for bus drivers.
Please join us this evening for some judicial conversation over a beer at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

I’ve recently become enthralled with Frank Blethen’s Twitter feed recently. It’s so ridiculous that if it didn’t have a check mark next to it, I would assume it was a parody account. The man is a newspaper publisher. And while I have a lot of problems with it, the paper is fine for news (when it’s not making up sources).
But holy shit. It looks like he just got a new phone and couldn’t figure out typing on it so he just said, “Siri, tweet something incoherent about a recent Seattle Times article, but make sure the capitalization and spaces are off.” Look, anyone who reads this blog knows I’m a typo generating machine. If the powers that be in this state didn’t insist that we let him set the agenda, maybe I could just ignore it.
Matthew 8:30-32
Not far from there a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus, “If you force us out, please send us into those pigs!” Jesus told them to go, and they went out of the men and into the pigs. All at once the pigs rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

Oh, I almost forgot, I do this on St. Patrick’s Day sometimes. Here’s his translation of Swift’s Epitaph:
Swift has sailed into his rest;
Savage indignation there
Cannot lacerate his Breast.
Imitate him if you dare,
World-Besotted Traveler; he
Served human liberty.
Man, Mark Miloscia’s worstness was really in evidence yesterday. Shit person with shit bill hating homeless people.
Also, he wants his homeless people map updated daily? That seems like a lot of resources. I assume the state will pick up the tab for this. Along with solving homelessness. No. OK.
Also, also, homelessness is not just a problem in “the ten largest cities in the state” and “the state’s two most populous counties.” I mean the guy works in Olympia. Is he unaware of homeless people there? I think that might be the case. I mean, it’s a terrible plan so don’t implement it anywhere, but if you think it will solve homelessness, why stop at Spokane Valley?
KIRO is gross. Honestly, a map of homeless people. I can’t even. Where in Seattle (or suburbia, but shhhh) do you have to be to not realize Seattle has a serious homelessness problem? I guess in your car.
So the justifications don’t make sense and it’s just cruel.
In a world that feels increasingly bleak and tottering on a dystopian catastrophe, there is still a place where optimism shines, where hope goes to blossom. Okay…maybe not, but you can, at least, join us for a drink and some jovial conversations at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern beginning about 8pm.
