Made a little mapping tool with @shirleyswirley.bsky.social to answer the question: where in Seattle are people most politically similar to: ______?
For example, this is the similarity map for Broadmoor Golf Club, the most extremist carceral and tax-dodging gated community inside the city bounds.

Incredible game by the @pwhltorrent.bsky.social tonight! The Torrent conceded a goal about 3 minutes into the game, Hannah Murphy made 23 straight saves in her first pro start to keep it 1–0 for 55 more minutes, then the Torrent score 2 goals in the final 2 minutes. First win in team history.

RIP Crucial, a fantastic brand of memory and storage, killed as a consumer brand so that its parent company can sell to AI companies instead.
The AI boom's impact on consumer RAM & storage pricing & availability claims another victim: Micron will shut down its Crucial line of consumer-focused products to prioritize "Micron-branded enterprise products" for AI data centers and other commercial purposes. investors.micron.com/news-release...

For nearly a year, I've been watching with quiet captivation as the tech world seeks "efficiency" with AI. Are we in a bubble? Yes. Will good AI products outlast it? Definitely.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Me: Maybe instead of a game console or gaming PC, I’ll stream AAA games instead.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: $30 a month, or $1,080 for 3 years, assuming no price increases or paid add-ons.
Me: OK, maybe “owning” games isn’t so bad after all.

Amazon HQ2 is growing rapidly; it’s just that it’s in Bellevue, not Virginia
When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired.
Flash forward 8 years and Amazon's HQ2 is a bust & Seattle's Jumpstart tax is keeping our services afloat

Less than a year ago, @houseourneighbors.bsky.social ran a successful payroll tax campaign to fund #socialHousing in #Seattle. The mayor campaigned against it. That motivated @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social to run for mayor, and win. Let's keep the momentum for an affordable, vibrant city going!
🎉 It's time to get to work! 🎉 I’d like to introduce my Transition Director and Co-Chairs. I ran for mayor on the vision that we can tackle big challenges, address our affordability crisis, and make our city a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
