– The waterfront needs a lot more connections to the rest of Seattle. So yeah, I dig the new waterfront bridge. Yippee skippy for infrastructure!

– I am not a college student, so this interview with Congresswoman elect Marie Gluesenkamp Perez wasn’t for me. But I thought it was interesting.

– Overall, I am very happy with extending the outdoor dining rules in Seattle. 2 annoyances as they are doing business in my neighborhood: This time of year, a lot of leaves are getting caught in the structures and making more of a mess than usual when it rains. The only thing is that they can get pretty noisy, including during weekdays. I hope that they decide to be better on their own.

– Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Goddam miracle and some of you are just ignoring it.

It’s Tuesday, and that means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will be getting together to talk politics and share good cheer over drinks. Please stop by if you wish.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio. Some folks may meet in the back room of the pub.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.

– What happens to salmon also happens to people.

– Fuck that algorithm. Rent is too high.

– Anyone going back to masks (first item)? I still wear a mask on public transportation.

– But it’s more important that you get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Get that shot before you see grandma over Christmas.

It’s inconvenient, but it’s better that Metro take defective busses off the road than to risk an accident. Maybe I would think something else if it was one of my routes. I hope it gets resolved quickly.

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

Does anyone else feel like One Bus Away is less accurate lately? I don’t know. It seems like it has been giving me weird information lately. I got to a stop 5 minutes early the other day, and it just never came. I understand that will happen sometimes, but I would hope One Bus Away would tell me.

It’s still good most of the time. But I have been noticing more minor weirdness. It’s obviously easier to notice problems than to fix them.

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

After spending a few hours yesterday fixing some server issues, I’ve started looking into how I might modestly update this shitty old blog. First thing you’ll notice is that I’ve removed the ads. They’ve only been generating a few bucks a month in revenue anyway, so why bother? I don’t really need the money, but if you want to help offset my $28/month in server costs, donations are always appreciated. That said, you’d probably do more good contributing to an ongoing journalistic concern than this shitty old blog archive. Up to you.

As for other updates, well, I hardly visit HA much anymore let alone post to it. So if you have ideas, please feel free to offer them in the comment thread, and who knows, maybe I’ll read them?

– Tax them capital gains. Collect the heck out of them.

– If you’re a woman, trans man, or NB who can get pregnant and you’re under 45, King County is recommending that you get screened for syphilis.

– Councilmember Sawant can call cops murderers to her heart’s content.

– Wash your damn hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted with the fucking miracle before you see your family at Christmas.

– Good morning. I hope you aren’t too inconvenienced by the snow and wind. Nothing stuck in the urban core, but maybe where you are?

– If Joe Kent wants to waste his doner’s money on a recount, more power to him, I guess. It would have to be a much greater swing than the governor’s race in 2004, but with fewer voters.

– Bring them grizzly bears back to Washington.

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

Yep…even tonight.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will be getting together. Please join us for an evening of political discussions over a beverage or two.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio.

Good morning. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, or if you don’t celebrate, long weekend, or if you had to work, a good time at work.

– It is bad to have dinner with a violent white supremacist, right?

– Firmageddon

– Ranked choice is coming to Seattle…eventually.
