Maximizing shareholder value is literally the point of corporations. Anything they do, including things that look worker-friendly, are because of that goal, not in spite of it.
I’m the city of Seattle, Washington, USA. And I’m pissed off!

Maximizing shareholder value is literally the point of corporations. Anything they do, including things that look worker-friendly, are because of that goal, not in spite of it.
A reminder this Labor Day that corporations are not your family or friend, will fuck you over at the chance for increasing profits, and even promotions and pay raises are just ways to keep you loyal when there’s no loyalty in return.
On the other we have an idealist who says the right things but doesn’t have a plan for how to actually pay for it or work with the city council to get shit done. I guess I can write in Wes Uhlman 🤷
This mayoral election will be tough. On the one hand we have an ineffective, big-talk-no-action mayor who likes to sweep problems around the rug so his rich donors don’t see it.
Yes, I know, it’s a sunset. You posting the same picture 1 million other people have already posted doesn’t make you special
Maybe if enough people here actually gave a shit about “victimless” crime like people stealing shit and breaking stuff we wouldn’t be number four. mynorthwest.com/crime_blotte...
Current conditions
Anytime people call temps over 80° Extreme Heat I say this
HOLY SHIT I FELT A FEW DROPS OF RAIN
This is going to fuck up traffic even more
Holy shit it’s not that hot, it’s still August and it’s summer. If you think this is hot go to the burnt crisp hellhole that is Phoenix.
Maybe the rich prudes should pay for their stupid privacy wall instead of the rest of us taxpayers hmmm? www.kuow.org/stories/denn...
Happy summer everyone! Oh also 85 days until sunsets before 5pm. 😈
Current conditions
Fuck the fucking blue angels. My animals just want to sleep.
Maybe he and Goodspaceguy should team up
A self service kombucha place on Capitol Hill is peak 2025 Seattle. I bet they ask you to tip 20%. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...
I5 north down to two lanes. Buses will hit clogged surface streets. Light rail will inevitably break and have to single-track. Bike lanes will have cars parked in them every other block. And they pick the hottest fucking month in the year to do this 🫠 mynorthwest.com/chokepoints/...
people here lost their shit over 90° today and meanwhile Phoenix and Vegas are eleventy billion degrees in jeans and a cowboy hat
Something tells me people who like to be nude in public parks will not give a fuck about this judge’s order www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
How do you know it’s July 4 in Seattle? Because it’s cool and cloudy and windy
Happy Scare All The Dogs For Your Own Selfish And Dumb Reasons for all who celebrate
They’re so back! (To their normal level of shittyness)
Rest of the country: OMG heat wave ughhh Me: is it July 5th yet?
This is what you call A Giant Fucking Tease. They won’t last. They never do.
Nothing like some June Gloom on this, the longest day of the year. ☁️
We are approaching the time of year when it’s 70-80° here and a bazillion degrees everywhere else AND NO ONE MUST KNOW 🤫
Welcome back to Juneuary, bitches
Everyone who thinks summer is here and there won’t be a Juneuary is either willfully ignorant or has lived here less than a year
Current conditions
A heat advisory for 83° in June is peak Pacific Northwest
All I want for Christmas in July is for my stolen basketball team to lose in the NBA finals. Also, again, fuck you Howard Schulz.
It is yet again the season of bare pasty white legs in shorts blinding passers-by
Oh good they’re taking steps to fix that
How the fuck are the @mariners.com top of their division 🤯
Folklife used to stink of patchouli and weed. It now it stinks of patchouli and weed. Some things never change
For those not here right now: it is absolutely rainy and foggy and cold and miserable. There, I saved you a click. It’s good you’re not living here.
My citizens after yesterday’s sunny weather
What is that bright thing in the sky??
This is fake spring 3 or 4. Remember there is Juneuary.
They should call it Find It, Report It, Don’t Fix It if they were honest about it
Fuck this. 206 for life.
Am I the only one concerned that fake spring looks like it’s becoming real spring and there’s not much rain in May anymore? 😳
Mariners top of their division and actual spring weather for the next ten days. What the actual fuck is going on
Proof that getting angry sometimes works www.king5.com/article/news...
Ahhh fucking finally back to normal 🌧️
Holy shit finally. Maybe the mayor will get reelected after all www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Everyone: oh lovely spring day sun yeay can’t wait for some days off Me: check the weekend forecast 😈
2025: Virginia Inn is closing but you can still drive down Pike Place.
Fuck you, Pike Place Market PDA, for pushing out Virginia Inn, a historic place that is even older than you.
Why the fuck do I have to use a stupid app to report potholes that have been there for years. There’s a fuckton of them everywhere. SDOT should drive around all day with a patch truck and fix them. We should call the truck The Asphaltinator.
May all those who remove so much as a twig from the UW Quad cherry trees face the wrath of a thousand anime cosplayers armed with real weapons
Mariners at the bottom of the AL West. Sounders near the bottom of their conference. Kraken eliminated from the playoffs. Seahawks set up to have another shitty year. We still don’t have a men’s basketball team. My sports teams are fucked.
Everyone is going apeshit over this nice weather trying to cram 50 activities in one day before the rain and gloom returns. It’s annoying as hell.
The amount of traffic just to see some tree flowers at UW is shocking.
In case you were wondering IT’S STILL FAKE SPRING DAMMIT
This winter I got no snow. Now this spring I get barely a thunderstorm. My weather is stupid and boring.
Update 2: ok so it’s raining. No hail. No frogs. Barely any lightning. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE PEOPLE
Update: distant thunder and some sprinkles. This is not the apocalypse I was promised
Thank you weather people for sending me 5 million alerts about this apocalypse of a storm that I’m reading while sitting outside in the sun in shorts and a T-shirt
Repeat after me: FAKE. FUCKING. SPRING.
Now do this every day and we’re good www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...
And where ChatGPT writes people’s posts
It is phony. It always rains here. Never come
Tech bros believe that because they can make computers do stuff they can solve any problem in the universe. Case in point: Elon Musk
We are extremely fucked www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
A thousand dollars to never fucking change the clocks ever again
What platform is Mayor Harrell running a reelection campaign on? Is it more: sweeping problems under the rug so he looks good during photo ops? Or is it rather: striking back-room deals with the city council on policies that only help big businesses?
REI at this point is as much a co-op as Amazon is just a little online bookseller.
KC metro: we need better security! KC council: how about we protect drivers with new barriers and call it a day? KC metro: sounds good! Bus riders: what about us? KC council: oh right! We’ll ramp up fare enforcement for you. Thanks for the reminder. komonews.com/news/local/k...
Repeat after me, California transplants: This is fake spring. It’s going to get cold and wet again. And soon. Abandon all hope.
All you transplants that think spring is here have a big shitload of misery in your future
Windstorm: hello! Me: oh shit (Power outages) Me: maybe this time they’ll bury the power lines Seattle city light: 😴
What the fuck was that lightning all about
Current conditions
BREAKING: by executive order, Mayor Harrell renamed 3rd avenue to Oh You Know We Are A Big City What Can You Do Big Sigh And Shake Your Head Avenue
This is now the Strait of Seattle. Fuck Juan.
Worst. Snow. Ever.

Everyone: oh wow Washington is such a technology-forward place! Look at all these tech companies. Washington sure has its tech shit together. Washington DOL: hold my hard drive mynorthwest.com/local/wa-dol...
This year’s snow has been such a fucking tease. Enough to look pretty and close schools. Not enough to have cybertrucks slide down hills and explode
Now all I need is videos of cars sliding on hills and my February will be complete ❤️ ❄️
Ok yes there was snow today and apparently schools went to dumbshit online classes but NO FUCKING ICE or slidey cars so it doesn’t count
Good news: there’s snow! Bad news: it’s not sticking or icing over Fucking hell.
Worst snowstorm ever
❄️
Reason number 547 why I love the snow: watching rich fucks with giant SUVs overconfidently pass me on a snowy street, lose traction, spin out, and end up in a ditch. I just laugh and laugh so hard when that happens.
FUCK YES
That’s not enough snowflake. MORE SNOWFLAKE
LOOOOOOOK at what’s in the forecast everyone!!!!!!!
I don’t care if this makes you happy and lets you take pretty sunrise sunset pictures. I want my fucking snow.
😭
What I’m doing: scraping ice off the car What I’d rather be doing: watching cars scrape each other while sliding down icy hills
Beanless coffee made from plant waste sounds exactly what I don’t want in my cup 🤮 Who the fuck comes up with this shit? www.geekwire.com/2025/beanles...
Every day that there are people sleeping outside in Seattle is a day that a loudspeaker needs to yell “YOU’RE FAILING” to the mayor and city council while throwing dogshit at their houses. Every fucking day.
Animal style is a way to cover up bad burgers and fries
Dick’s is better than In-N-Out. California can stay in California. Fight me.
