RAILROAD FOMX
King County members rallied today to show our unity! Together, we sent a clear message: our labor keeps this county running, and we deserve a fair contract that reflects it. #UnionsForAll #SolidaritySeason
Looks like it was lack of a proper sewage system. bsky.app/profile/smet...
If you want your con to turn into the next Rainfurrest, keep this behavior up, which is, to say: Fucking pick up after yourselves
We should have never killed that gorilla
Waiting for folks to respond to (rightful) accusations that Trump is basically a caudillo with “tee hee are you saying ’what are we, a bunch of Mexicans’”
WELCOME ABOAAAAAARD THE TOXIC GOSSIP TRAIIIIIIN

Small turnout but loud, feels good
No officer you don’t understand I’m actually a super duper secret informant that’s why I have all this CSAM on my hard drive…s

“Our solution is to do what is popular and do what will lead to growth” these are at odds!!!
Yeah, that’s why this doesn’t make sense. Just because the concept is popular doesn’t mean you should Do It. Tax immigrants more despite not enfranchising them or giving them access to welfare??? What?
That it wasn’t Turkey is a sin against good humor
Monsieur Mains
You can only work alongside so many permanent residents-not-yet-citizens who get taxed and yet aren't enfranchised, no, that's a sin and shouldn't happen, let these people have the ballot
My most controversial 'achievable' immigration opinion lmao
I'm going to throw in Give Permanent Residents Voting Rights/Privileges, As A Gift, like throwing a Molotov into Gary's Gasoline Refinery
Also "Assimilation classes?" What???
This one further down jumpscared me into "NOPE"
... No. Born-Here Americans need to speak a foreign language. Or learn one.
No no let them try to develop international law, lmao, that’ll keep them occupied
That’s my emotional support empty storefront
I’m an Abundance Conservative, by which I mean “I’m here for expanding housing by curbing abuse of historical preservation laws and perversions of environmental laws to sustain environmentally unsustainable patterns of development, where the fuck did Peter Thiel come from”
It's literally the same reason I despise NIMBYs. You can put up a new apartment building but The Right People better be living there or we're going to keep you from doing a n y t h i n g
It's not that I don't like Thiel and Andressen saying "BILD!" it's that I hate that their idea for who is gonna live in those places are either their serfs, or their own concept of the ubermensch or New American Man
frankly, this misses the point. the problem isn't that thiel and andressen like a good idea (building stuff), the problem is that thiel and andressen are meaningfully, politically, opposing my values in every other way with hard power.
Big cudos to the folks at SASMEX for "What if we had a seismic alert system that was well-known" versus "... well what if we did... something" on the US West Coast
Shocked that folate wasn't added to their list of poisons like other things that are added to food.

The same reason we don't do full sewer separation in Seattle proper: "We don't wanna disrupt businessessssss" with cut/cover
Trump is just Scandals Georg at this point
I’m gonna go sit in the corner and think about my life
Who needs Bear Stearns when you have Earnin
“Securitization of subprime burrito taxi loans” and that’s my very uninformed take on Klarna
I continue to believe that YIMBYism as an elite persuasion movement was moving in the right direction and 'abundance' is a huge distraction that unnecessarily sows division
“You can’t remove that tree in the easement it has deep historic meaning” “The last person who went down this street in a wheelchair turned into Evel Knievel and didn’t seem too happy about that”
I want apartments for everyone and not just U.S Military Veterans Between The Ages Of 55 and Dead with an average median income of ____ and no history of…
I want apartments that don’t get held up in community design review because they cast a shadow and reject your idea of tree cover as one that is absolutely annihilating a sidewalk with shallow roots but it’s a tree so you can’t Do Anything
Look at that empty lot with a fence around it you can’t tell me that’s your emotional support fallow space!
“Abundance is now a fash signifier” I just wanna stop people from turning every goddamn neighborhood into a Historic District You Can’t Build Apartments In, man
I’m sorry but if the Green New Deal is Abundance but hey also the Claremont Institute is Abundance too, then the term is already washed.
The speed with which “Abundance” has gone from *new idea* to *empty signifier* has got to be some kind of record.

Checked a pump station influent gate this week and there were quite a few bottles and cans in its cast iron waffle-looking surface. Yeah people will put anything in the Magical Disappearing Hole
It’s like… Okay, get guns But what next because if we’re trying to play super sneaky insurgent here there’s no value nor really much specific resistance aside from “taking one for the team and becoming another name on another list that ultimately adds up to nothing more than social argument fuel”
Whispers within DOJ of “We’re gonna ban trans people from guns” which falls apart on the logistics end because you can’t… really? Do this without alienating the NRA’s membership base in the process
It trickles into furry spaces because people keep bringing Certain Doomers up
From a purely tactical viewpoint unless you’re practicing small group tactics with others in your immediate geographic proximity you’re basically just becoming That Person With An Arms Cabinet That Will Inevitably not be able to use them and/or becoming Yet Another Goddamn Martyr
Watching people go absolutely bonkers and suggesting buying Every Gun You Can and I long for the Caraballos of the world to be stuck in these groupchats so they can see what panic they’re unleashing
Did Miami get into another fight
i just absolutely lost my shit on the bus loud enough to draw looks when i saw this heading
Legitimately funny to get dinged for ‘use of the r word’ when it’s really just the thing that RFK wants to say but he’s got 20,000 different words to say other than the slur he really wants to say
An excellent piece by @cwarzel.bsky.social about the Minneapolis attacker & the murder fandoms & NVE networks that act as a feedback reinforcement loop developing future atackers. Really important reading for everyone trying to make sense of where we’re at today & w/ gift link.

Holy shit we have a mascot Barry! It’s good to meet you!!!
The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain
correct. there is a reason why Harris's proposals on housing were primarily to subsidize demand and Trump was to declare war on YIMBYism and density (outside of creating new charter "Freedom" cities)
I've been a pretty consistent proponent of a progressive abundance agenda, so it's pretty dismaying to see the Abundance Conference bending over backwards to try and bring outright racists and fascists into the tent.
“We can have housing abundance by doing more deportation!!!” Someone get Ezra Klein a fucking shock collar
I’m sure the union can find someone to represent the union as a whole who isn’t, like, an actual autoworker! There’s a definite discrepency between demands and constituencies represented under the broad UAW umbrella
Looks like @sfbart.gov decided to stop being weird about their decades-old phobia of filming trains and has dashcamed routes themselves. As an R-line rider its cool to see it from the frontal POV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=75uZ...
Regrettably it seems like Fain seems more than content to throw his non manufacturing constituency under the bus! Hopefully some upcoming elections lead to him getting ousted by someone from, say, academia
We’re Bringing Back Dumb Social Justice babyyyyyy
I miss when abundance was about housing, man

The World Liberty team has been desperately trying to prevent the WLFI price from sinking, including by burning tokens to boost the price. They may be concerned that whales like Sun could further depress the token price by cashing out.
The freeze apparently came after Sun transferred around ~$9M of his holdings to Binance.
The Trumps' World Liberty Financial project has frozen WLFI tokens in wallet addresses belonging to Justin Sun that contain ~$100 million (on paper) in unlocked WLFI. Sun is a major backer of the project, which the Trumps say they founded to stop "debanking".
It is. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to sit through conservative talk radio or podcasts or god forbid rants about PRONOUNS

Wastewater is surprisingly Republican on the more mechanical/operational end
“You wuss it’s a matter of courage” no it’s a matter of not ending up as an on-the-job workplace statistic if a trumpy guy is my confined space attendant because Something Went Wrong
This is basically my furry feed 90% of the time and as someone who lives in a Blue City and Blue State but can’t come out because of a Red Career Field, it drives me fucking nuts
it’s really damn bleak right now & it’s hard to feel good about anything but some trans folks out there are 100% determined to make sure every trans person is exactly as panicked as they are in a way that’s not additive or informative & i’m not sure that’s helpful or what solidarity looks like.
In the days after last week's Minneapolis shooting, I've been continually haunted by the shooter's video and the nihilistic contagion that seems to spread in mass shooter fandom communities. I spoke to @alexbnewhouse.bsky.social about how to process this terrible phenomenon w/o helping perpetuate it
When all you have is models and guesstimates all you‘re gonna end up getting is a political answer!
