Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 10/27/23, 7:50 am

Having trouble figuring out who to vote for? Here are some resources.

– At Publocola they interviewed the City Council candidates.

– So did the Hacks and Wonks podcast.

– But maybe you want to know about other elections? The Stranger has you covered with their endorsements.

– Fuse has a good voter guide no matter where in the state you live.

Wednesday Open Thread

– This is a bit old, but oof Mayor Harrell’s budget.

– There was a time in my life that I biked around East Marginal Way a lot. Not sure if I had ever noticed those tracks in use.

– Responsible gun ownership from the Washington state Republicans.

– Impotrant to know this time of the year who is a Weird Barbie and who is just a Seattle woman.

– You. Yeah you. Wash your goddam hands. And then make yourself an appointment to get vaccinated or boosted. And maybe throw in a flu shot as long as you’re there.

Friiiiiiiiday

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 10/20/23, 7:57 am

Everyone, please look for your ballot. It should be in the mail. Soon you’ll start to see social media pieces where someone has already voted when you don’t even have your ballot yet. So you start to freak out. What if I never vote again, you think to yourself. But then you get it, and remember to vote by November 7.

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

– Sara Nelson got pretty close to the drug law she wanted passed. So every overdose while the law is in effect must be her fault, by her logic (item 2).

– Twitter doesn’t drive much traffic.

– 3 cheers for projects coming in ahead of time.

– I don’t know the best use of the land the Black Lives Memorial Garden is on, but I do enjoy walking through it. I’ll miss it when it’s gone.

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

Wednesday 10/11 — Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 10/11/23, 7:59 am

I was walking down the waterfront recently and saw a ferry docking. The whole front of the ferry was oddly colored. I didn’t realize for a moment, but eventually I saw that it was an ad for a soda company. My goodness, it was so ugly.

I don’t know why seeing it on a ferry produced such a yuck reaction in a way that it never does on the bus. Still, it made me sad that I don’t drink their disgusting sugar concoction, so I can’t give it up. Maybe I should be madder when it’s on the bus: Those wraps make the view out worse, so the whole ride isn’t as good.

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

– AI of any quality is longer away from us than people promoting it or worried about it think. Still, if you train it unethically people will be upset.

– Seattle is dying is famous.

– Who could have predicted that Idaho wouldn’t rush to do the sort of material health and child care etc. that they already could have now that abortion is illegal?

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Probably best to go with medical people and not people who thought it would turn you into a zombie.
