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.
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.
@1 A select group of very wealthy people is working to reduce the obviously ingrained liberal biases those entities have demonstrated.
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.
MAGA Mike Jesus Johnson failed to bring the House into session today.
That’s 86 days out of the 96 The House has not been in regular session.
Tell us again how it’s about the Democrat shutdown.
See ya Friday. Maybe.
By all means, stay away…

Riley Gaines, postS picture of Zorhan Mamdani,and AOC with the caption “we are being destroyed from within“ on the Twatter.
AOC response “if you would channeled all this anger into swimming, you would have come in better than fifth place.”
They’re not all the same. Some have more journalistic integrity and objectivity than others, some have none at all.
@11 Riley has a right to vote, agitate, and whine. She doesn’t have a right to expect NYC voters to conform to her wishes.
If you elect Mamdani, I will move to Florida! -Andrew Cuomo

Riley Gaines: I want to challenge AOC to a debate. (on Fox News)
AOC: And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job.
I bet, if Republicans call back the House into session someday, that same same day they will kick Johnson from the speaker job so nobody can seat the Arizona Democrat, delaying the Epstein files that much longer.
Centrist Democrats. “We need to get away from identity politics, abandon the divisive social issues and talk about kitchen table to win.”
Mamdani. “I want living expenses to come down. I want to open grocery stores in food deserts so people can afford to eat. I want public transit to be free so people can get to work. I want to lower bills New Yorkers pay for necessities.”
Centrist Democrats. “ a Muslim candidate is too risky.”
They know.
Brave Sir Kevin McCarthy expected to raise $100m to defeat Prop 50 but is at $11m.

16)I love how NZ fills vacancies in its House, besides no Shenanigans on seating the wInner, Tgere is a set period of time when the By-elections must be called, if necessary. If necessary, because they only hold the special election for a district seat, if it’s a list seat, they just have to contact the next candidate, and if they are still in the party they were with when they contested the last election, they’ are then asked if they still want to be an MP, and are in.
The best part of NZ MMP on filling vacancies is List MPs running for a vacant district. If the candidate loses, they are still in the House. If they win, and the district is a flip, they get another MP parliament. Now if it’s a vacant district seat for a party that got under 5% in the General, and their candidate doesn’t win the by-election, they lose all their MPs.
So far a PM or speaker hasn’t refused to seat a replacement MP. Although there is one scenario, if the Governing coalition is hanging on a single vote.
Hiring has been sluggish all year and now the Trump Wonder Economy is beginning to shed jobs in earnest.

Apparently Game 3 of the World Series isn’t over yet. The Dodgers and Blue Jays are tied at 5-all in the 18th inning.
Jamaica is about to get hit with the most powerful hurricane it’s ever experienced, but that’s a coincidence, and climate change is a hoax. Warmer sea water has nothing to do with it, and Florida won’t be underwater if Antarctica melts. And that might even be a good thing, because there’s probably oil under that mile of ice.
Dodgers win it in the 18th with a walk-off home run on a 3-2 pitch with nobody out and nobody on base.
As someone on the Bluesky keeps pointing out, “Maybe Mike should hold his press conferences in the afternoon to give him time to read a newspaper or watch some cable news.
(Dead fisherman, inflation, MRI, Bovino forced to testify, Ukraine are all things Mikey said he doesn’t know about in the last week.)
fucking fascist asshole has only itself to blame:
Elon Musk’s politics cost Tesla over 1 million sales in US alone, new study claims
The study is blunt, noting Musk’s actions “antagonized his most loyal customer base”.
The paper runs two different models to quantify the damage, and the results are “remarkably similar”.
Aggregated from October 2022 through April 2025, the “Musk partisan effect” cost Tesla between 1.0 and 1.26 million vehicle sales.
Again, that’s in the US alone. Tesla’s sales in Europe have also been crashing over the last 2 years.
According to the study, Musk’s actions increased the sales of other electric and hybrid vehicles by 17% to 22%. So, while Tesla’s growth stalled and reversed, competitors like Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, and Kia got a massive, unexpected boost, directly attributable to Tesla’s CEO.
And what about the other side? Did Musk’s shift to the right win over new Republican buyers?
The study says no.
They cite survey data showing that Musk’s public persona “significantly reduces liberal and Democratic support for Tesla without increasing conservative and Republican support”. Ouch.
So what explains the stock price teh kreepee dumbfuck might bleat? Elmo fart smoke about AI, solving the autopilot problem and some shit about a “robot army”.. (rolls eyes)..
Awwww.. poor widdle young ladies of maga:
When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.
So far, Mr. Right has not materialized.
Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are …
“Not fit, workaholics, and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.
“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”…

No problem young maga woman.. There’s a solution:
Lookout for teh kreepee dumbfuck of widbee:
First date. Finest Gentleman’s Club of D.C… Wow.. young maga lady, check that one out! She’ll be the third in our “throuple”.. We gotta a great “varied sex life” goin’ in our future!
And grow up.. Forget that church shit..

@25 I wonder where Tesla’s board chair thinks the money for Elon’s trillion-dollar paycheck will come from? Not from selling cars, because that’s around 11x this year’s total sales. And I doubt there are enough stupid investors willing to fund it; even Dumbfuck doesn’t own Tesla stock, he only dabbles in options. I smell taxpayer money. Have you noticed how clingy to Trump that Elon is? I suspect these two are plotting to rob all of us. I wonder what Trump’s cut is?
@30 Not even endless puff piece videos of a reusable Starship rocket will save TSLA. Fuck that fascist asshole elmo to hell.
I live near a charging station (not TSLA) and I see Waymo vehicles charging up there from time to time, being tested for the Seattle market. Awkward looking cars with all their lidar gear but a lot safer from all accounts.
The big giant political scandal today according to the New York Post, the aunt Mamdani talks about being afraid to take the subway after 911 isn’t actually his mom or dad’s sibling.

We interrupt your dying blog to invite you to watch this 77 second video captured by an IDF drone, which documents Hamas pulling a dead Israeli hostage’s body out of a building, burying it, and then uncovering it with a tractor so that it could claim that it freshly “discovered” the body of an Israeli hostage:
They even brought a photographer in at the end to capture the fortuitous “discovery”.
Pallywood is alive and well in Gaza.
We now return you to @ 23
Howard CosellHA’s noted sportscasting anchor using “nobody out and nobody on base” instead of leadoff.We interrupt your miserable retirement to inform you that nobody has ever disputed that Hamas is a terrorist organization that does awful shit to people.
But so is IDF. And now the world knows it.
So Fat Hitler took a cognitive test and then immediately after his docs order an MRI.
Mmkay.
Since raging alcoholic Whiskey Pete fired the Naval Chief of Staff because she had a vagina, the now ALL HE-MAN Navy has lost four aircraft at sea.
Repeal and replace is 15 years old. No plan has ever been put forward for the latter.
Lying is a sin, Mike and Jesus is watching your browser activity.
We interrupt to show you what IOF (proven liars) say is a thing you should be outraged about so they can finish the genocide.
THIS time you can trust them. It’s not a pristine copy of Mein Kampf in Arabic. Or a cache of weapons (Metal) next to an MRI. It’s definitely not bombing hospital NICU units. It’s not, “We totally did not open fire on the car. And then the ambulance sent to rescue the little girl and let her bleed out for hours.
THIS TIME IT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE CLAIM!
China no doubt is intently watching the Pentagon purges and drawing parallels to the Stalin purges that gutted the Red Army and left Russia defenseless against foreign aggression.
@34 I’m sure in your mind that’s a good reason to bomb hospitals and starve children.
Yeah, Hamas are bad guys. Nobody says otherwise. IDF isn’t much better. A pox on both sides.
@35 You beat me to it, but I’ll leave this post up anyway.
captured by an IDF drone, which documents Hamas pulling a dead Israeli hostage’s body out of a building,
What happened to “FINISH THEM”?
Hamas still around? Guess Israel can’t get more U.S. taxpayer handouts if Hamas is “finished”…
yawwn.. just keep on.. killin’ on.. IDF…
Enjoy this video of Donnie getting lost in a ballroom in Japan and needing to be led by the arm by the PM.
Later he would insist Japan buy F-150s because the Japanese with their high density streets and famous small car ‘vending machine’ public parking garages are well suited to 20foot long behemoth trucks.
