Friday Before A Long Weekend Open Thread

This I, Anonymous in The Stranger has been a bug bear for me for along time. Like, I will take our terrible walkers over our terrible drivers. But man, just, like, recognize that there are other people. Maybe they have actual things to do. Maybe they don’t want to navigate around a group of people, or one slow person managing to take over the whole sidewalk. Come on, everyone.

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

Wednesday!

Regulating the gig economy should probably come at the state or Federal level. But as long as they aren’t stepping up, it’s fantastic that the city of Seattle is stepping up. First with sick and safe leave rights and now potentially rights around termination. Too much of tech is just new and exciting ways to treat workers poorly.

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

Friday Open Thread

I didn’t get any engagement on Twitter, and I don’t know if it’s because Twitter sucks now or because it’s just not interesting? Or both.

Anyway, the other day, I got on the light rail at Pioneer Square going North. Now what you have to understand is that the sometimes the doors open on the right and sometimes they open in the left, and between there and Capitol Hill, where the doors open on the opposite side, it’s all underground.

The person who got on ahead of me went to the opposite doors and looked out the window. Butt to the other passengers. Whenever I get that spot, it’s because I am getting off at Capitol Hill, but I always turn around so I’m facing inside the train. I can understand if it’s above ground but looking out at the gray walls of the tunnel seems… wrong? Off? I don’t know.

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

Wednesday Morning Open Thread

– The new drug possession law is harsher than I would have preferred. I am also not sure what “encourages prosecutors to divert drug possession cases to treatment” will mean in practice.

– It’s filing week, so file for office. Seriously, go for it. If there’s a local position and you don’t like what the incumbent is doing or you don’t like anyone in the race for an open sea,well, make it happen.

– The Queen Anne Taco Bell is far too expensive.

– Multnomah County, get your shit together and spend the money allocated for homeless people. For God’s sake.

– Get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

It’s too hot. Please for goodness sake, someone do something about it. Like another week of this in May. In May? May? Seriously, May. I don’t like it. We just skipped from low 60’s to mid 80’s? Fuck. In goddam May. This is supposed to be some of the nicest time of the year. Instead it’s just too hot.

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