Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 6/12/23, 8:12 am

I don’t understand how you want to be a civic leader and you don’t even remember how you voted in the last Presidential election. It sure looks like it’s Trump. It sure seems like Olga Sagan voted for Trump and then was too chickenshit to just say it.

Jesus, it would have been less damning if she just admitted to voting for Trump. It defies logic. Just say who you voted for, goodness sake.

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

Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 6/7/23, 8:28 am

Oh hey. The Seattle bill to prosecute more drug offenders failed, although it sounds like Andrew Lewis, who opposed it in this vote isn’t a guarantee in the future. So if he’s your Council member, you might want to let him (or anyone else) know that you prefer to end the war on drugs, not to extend it.

It’s the last day before a few hot ones. In the past a couple of June days over 80 wouldn’t matter much. But with global warming, and having already had a heat wave it’s just kind of gross. At least the air is not smoke filled yet.

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

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!

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 5/24/23, 8:02 am

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.
