Chasing the shiny bits in the dark. Punishing my legs for not being rocket packs. Passionate about density, transit, walkability, and cycling infrastructure.

whoever said the ai business plan is to “create god and ask him for money” you are 100% right, I can’t get it out of my head, and it’s the only quick way to explain this infrastructure mania to people

I had a Loretta’s NW tavern burger on Saturday for the first time since before 2020, and it really is the perfect bar burger.
In 2018 Thrillist named it the 4th best burger in the country.
I don’t care about rankings like that. I just know it was and still is delicious.

An hour ago a guy crashed on his bike on the slippery wet tile stuff around Westlake on the slippery wet leaves trying to turn from Pine onto 5th.
How many crashes like this happen everyday due to our mediocre and bad infrastructure which we have zero data on and disincentivizes people from biking?

Soap dispensers in bathrooms need to arrive at a common design.
I don’t particularly care what it is, but soap dispensers shouldn’t feel like a puzzle in Myst.

Car-brained is thinking the solution to the damage that cars cause is MORE cars!
The meeting is wrapping up with commissioners minimizing the idea that recalcitrant drivers at a problem at the Market, with Commissioner Mark Childs saying that having cars on the street can minimize damage to people walking when there are crashes.

We've seen enough. Katie Wilson is the next Mayor of Seattle.
🚨🚨 Just in: Katie Wilson has expanded her lead in the Seattle mayor race. She is now leading by 1,976 votes, which means that the race is no longer in automatic recount territory.

One of the inevitable conclusions from the Epstein files so far is that, as many have suspected, Donald Trump may very well never have had a real friend in his entire life. He puts forth that instrumental energy into the world, and he receives it back with interest.
