– Have you been waiting for the state rebate to get an e-bike? Well good news, come April you can get it.

– District 2, so many candidates.

– Man just the other day I saw a driver run a red and almost hit a blind man. Imagine feeling so entitled to do that that you get out of your car and attack them. Seriously, if any of you fuckers feel like that, give up driving.

– I have many problems with Clarence Thomas, but you have to admit he has expertise.

– Still working on an outro for openthreads. Tootles? G’Bye. Just back to wash your filthy hands without the COVID-19 link? You should wash your hands still. I’ve used enough men’s rooms to know many of you aren’t; Maybe something Bob Ferguson specific?

Help! I am broken in ways that science can’t fix. I fucking love every story about municipal composting. Who makes such a person?

Anyway, today’s delightful entry in Carl has a problem is Spokane. What declares itself biodegradable and isn’t feels like a great annoyance. And probably a growing concern. I don’t know what is to be done.

– 2 years late, but congrats to SPD on firing a giant fuckup. Hopefully now the good apples can finally note that it’s bad to kill someone and then joke about it.

– Not just the Puget Sound, housing is expensive in Spokane too. Hopefully some of their newish reforms will bring prices down over time.

The Stranger has a bill tracker. I would advise you to find a bill you find interesting and good. Track it, sure, but also contact your legislators and try to get it passed. Maybe find an org that’s doing lobbying.

An hour ago, I didn’t know Washington state had an intercity bus. Now I would like to see it expanded. Maybe ride it, although it doesn’t seem super convenient to Seattle.

Have any of you taken it? Is it worse than the Greyhound bus would be on a similar route?

With the new year, Amazon employees have to work from the office. I live fairly close to the headquarters, and have been working from home. I haven’t noticed — in two traditionally light days — particularly bad traffic. Or like coffee shops and restaurants being particularly full.

I hope that your holidays were and are a delight. Unless you prefer them bitter sweet and then, sure, that. Or if you don’t celebrate at least I hope work was a good pace. Back to the regular pace of nonsense come the new year.
