Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 10/27/25, 8:18 am

The election season is upon us. You should have received your ballot by now. Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by November 4. If you’re anything like me, you were able to get most of your ballot done pretty quickly, and then got to School Board, and sort of froze. I still don’t know who I am voting for, but here are some voter guides:

  • First off, The Stranger. Especially for Seattle area endorsements, they remain the most important, even if less so than at their height.
  • Fuse do a great job statewide.
  • The Urbanist!

Who are you voting for? I voted the left slate for Seattle, especially glad to vote for Katie Wilson and Erika Evans. Whoever you vote for for King County Executive is the right choice, but I went with Girmay Zahilay. And I am still trying to figure it out for School Board.

    The richest man on earth owns X.

    The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

    The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

    The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

    See the problem here?

    I certainly do, Little Man. A select group of very wealthy people is working to reduce the obviously ingrained liberal biases those entities have demonstrated.

    Had conservatives and the Trump team not been muzzled by the likes of Twitter and Facebook in 2020, Donald Trump’s presidency would be over now. Instead, libbies have three-plus years of DJT47 followed by eight years of President Vance to endure.

    2 1/2 days mostly without me and the best HA libbies can manage is 53 comments over the weekend?

    It’s time for Goldy to come back and spew inane liberal shit again.

    See ya Friday. Maybe.

    We have to be very careful with school board elections now, because rightwing extremists are making a concerted push for control of public schools. Gotta keep them extremists off those boards.

    This isn’t always easy, because they’ll try to hide behind moderate-sounding language in voters guides and campaign literature. The sources Carl mentioned might flag them. Look to see who’s endorsing them. Sometimes their own voters guide or campaign website blurbs give them away.

    @1 Oh look! The dumbfuck troll thinks (a) nobody can hear the Republican Noise Machine, and (b) more people would vote for Republican candidates and policies if there were no liberal voices in the media.

    But (a) is nonsense, and the super-rich fascists who own the media are doing their best to fix (b), but I don’t think it’ll help Republicans much, because the public seems pretty wise to who’s fucking them over.

    In their world, truth is “ingrained liberal bias.” Replacing objective reporting with very wealthy owner-approved propaganda isn’t how keep keep journalists of integrity. Case in point: John Dickerson, co-anchor of CBS Evening News, has decided to leave the network rather than work under Bari Weiss.

    The media is biased. It does not matter which outlet one views and hears or reads. They all have political and social narratives they are pursuing.
