Great acting in the part where Palpatine almost turns Jesus to the dark side.

I have some songs from the show Stereophonic stuck in my head, as if they were Fleetwood Mac songs from their cocaine trilogy.

(Which makes sense because they were written as a modern day stand-in for those songs.)

“Bruce Harrell backs AI.”

I can’t believe how badly he’s reading the room.

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 14h

Like every mayor before him, Harrell wants arts and culture events downtown. The difference is that "you're going to see a lot of AI in it."

I’m glad everyone gets to see the GOP leadership for who they truly are. It was never about “support our troops,” it was about “me saying that helps my campaign and image.” When it comes to taking a vote to truly help our troops, they instead bend to Their King.

Apparently I’m only interested in baseball when there are stakes.

So going into the ALCS, looks like I should start paying attention during game 4, next Thursday.

I’m pretty sure the last Mariners game I watched was 3 years ago when they went 18 innings.

This is why I don’t watch baseball.

Signed up for a Fubo free trial just to watch Mariners tonight. My OTA antenna never seems to be able to get Fox 13.1.

You touched on this, but kids of the 80s are old enough now to be running companies, high enough on corporate ladders to make decisions, and having spending money to revisit our youth.

Yup! So funny. It definitely seemed like an “event”, to the point that I noticed it. :)

I saw a group of 4-5 cyclists all hanging out on the trail having a chat this evening. Now I wonder if it was you! :)

Oh and I convinced the couple behind us complaining loudly how they didn’t like it to leave during the 1st act.

Turned around (saw them in mariners jerseys) and said if they didn’t like it they could leave.

They took my advice 10 minutes later.

I can’t believe this was the “radio edit” cutting this play down to fit within 3 hours.

If they had taken out all the dramatic pauses and slow walks across the stage it would clock in at 2hr 15m easy.

I’ve never seen anyone walk out of a first act, and never seen a good 1/10th of an audience not show up after the intermission before tonight.

Seattle’s Paramount audience for Stereophonic wasn’t primed for what they were going to see.

It was very well done.

We read Every Night is Pizza Night to our 4/7 y olds at least a few times a month. Your art is so fun and energetic. Thank you!

Bruce Harrell spent tons of taxpayer money to keep private shelter rooms empty, because his administration (which is known for being vindictive) didn't like the lady that runs the program.

Is that the kind of @mayorofseattle.bsky.social you want, Seattle?

ProPublica @propublica.org · 6d

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Aw crap. I watched a LEGO creator TikTok that was bombarded with one of those idiot “mall influencers” and I stupidly followed up to see the videos from his side. Now my FYP is people being idiots in malls for engagement.
