If social media is to be believed, a bunch of you went to various hands off protests. I didn’t realize it was happening and probably would have gone unless my parents mentioned that they were going. But it was pretty great to see so many people in Seattle Center and pictures from around the world. Hope we can follow it up with more action.

– Should you honk your horn? I know there can be safety issues, but honestly I don’t think cars ought to come with horns.

– The Tacoma ICE facility man, get your shit together, and the legislature ought to pass House Bill 1232.

When the Link Light Rail opened up there was a lot of discussion about how to stand on the escalators. But this is a complaint about elevator etiquette.

Over the weekend, I was at Beacon Hill. It wasn’t crowded, but everyone gets off the train at the same time. So there are a couple dozen people when the elevator opens. First person gets on and pushes the button like normal.

Second person gets on and stands in the doorway. They’re big doors so they weren’t blocking people, but the rest of us had to walk around him. It was an incredibly minor inconvenience, and also a couple days later I am still angry. Just push a reasonable amount forward.

Oh my God. Joe Kent. Joe Kent. Joe Goddam Kent. Unconfirmed, but still on the group chat. You know, in case you were wondering if the Proud Boys or other white supremacists had a representative in the planning of the strikes in Yemen.

Joe Kent. It’s bad enough that fucko was nominated, but until he’s confirmed, or goes through the proper channels to become acting, keep his ass off the chat. “has been the acting chief of staff to national intelligence director
Tulsi Gabbard, according to three sources, but his role has not been
publicly announced” is not a goddam title.

The group chat on a private app is ridiculous and dangerous on its own. The group chat with random people accidentally added is worse. The group chat with Joe Kent intentionally added is even worse.

– I am generally opposed to Euclidean zoning so I am fine with more residential properties in SoDo. It’s much less important than density where there are mostly single family lots now, but it’s…fine.

– Congratulations to the people at Representative Baumgartner’s town hall.

– A handy list of ways Washington State is challenging the Trump Administration in court.

– Bail bond agents should not send people to immigration enforcement.

– Seattle PreK is still a thing, and your kiddos may be eligible.

– Great news! You can call or email your legislator or member of Congress.
