Two things for @mayorofseattle.bsky.social and @alexis4seattle.bsky.social:
1. We need to know how and why this happened tomorrow, and have a proposed solution to prevent it.
2. We need to immediately spin up a Vision Zero Response Team with more funding than the 2026 graffiti abatement budget.
The person hit by a driver at Bellevue and Pine earlier tonight has died, according to the Seattle Police Department.
TLDR for all of this: amazon cannot run a grocery store. I assume Whole Foods is isolated enough they're continuing to exist out of past experience, but holy shit these stores closing does not surprise me in the slightest. Every single time i went in was a new horror.
It was pretty normal to go in on a random afternoon and for them to be out of anything not stocked by a third party. In this area they means they had some bread, soda, and chips. More than once they ran out of meat, dairy, and produce on an arbitrary weekday.
I haven't been able to have normal bakery things for years due to celiac, but before that happened every single thing they made fresh was an abomination. It's like someone played a game of telephone and they got the shape right but totally missed out on what pizza or donuts or bread tastes like.
Sometimes the hand baskets went missing. I'd need 3-4 more things than I could carry (but not enough to justify a cart). Once the manager asked me what i was looking for and they said "we got rid of them because it takes out cashiers too long to put them back". A whopping 4 feet.
The security guard once stopped me while I was walking inside and said i "looked suspicious" due to wearing all black, and he was "keeping an eye on me". I had blue jeans on and a pair of bright green shoes.
The normal carts would randomly disappear so you'd have to use their self checkout carts. These would yell at you if you scanned items individually. If you added 4 of the same item, it'd fail to charge you for more than one. If you could find an employee to fix it, they couldn't do anything.
I have some stories from this place.
Once, they were unable to figure out how to sell me a bag of chips. Because the computer said they were out of stock. Except! I had them in front of me. The checkout just flat out refused to allow me to pay for the bag of chips, because they were out of stock.
I tend to pick a team based entirely on the color of their costumes and refuse to learn their names (or really anything about American football tbh). This could actually work
If I didn't hate hosting things at my house so much, I'd invite a bunch of people over and ask them to bring cheese.
Almost every year I go to a Super Bowl party and gorge myself on cheese and pretend to have never heard of either team. I am just there for the cheese.
This year Seattle is playing. I cannot pretend to have not heard of them.
I think this means I have to buy my own cheese and skip the parties.

Why are cats?
Honestly if someone offered "we take away all your electronics and lock you in a room with snacks and books for a weekend" as a vacation...
I hope it's a duck.

I missed the arrest part of that saga, wow he hasn't resigned yet?
Sorry, assessed not taxed.
As far as i can tell the values are pulled out of someone's rear end and not based in reality.
I really hope you get an answer.
The land for my townhouse is taxed at $247/sqft; the sfh lot next door (that's also in an LR3 zone) is $170/sqft.
The assessors office wouldn't give me a straight answer here, and just told me to appeal it if i disagree.
I've run into this! I can tell which side of the aisle a given candidate is depending on which address they sent shit to (for reasons my townhouse is either 123C or 123 apt 3, idk why usps has two entries).
There's a bunch of books I enjoyed in middle school. I can't tell you who wrote them, or what they were about, or what they looked like.
I can tell you which shelf they were on in the middle school's library.
Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".
Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?
Have you considered arson
they also fit in those rope plant hangers people make, on the off chance you want to suspend it over your bed
Honestly we should all get time off to watch the magic smoke clouds. Just a collective human vacation for a few weeks
yahoo questions question asking 'why are the holes in cats fur always in the right places for their eyes'
This question will haunt me until the day i die.
Fund Techaro and we'll put all the money into making catgirls real.*
*May involve trips to Lake Turkana to dig up monuments that change the fate of humanity and doom people to pocket dimensions, but there will be catgirls so who cares.
Headline that reads "Shiba Inu gets stuck in a bush, pretends that everything is ok" with a picture of the Shiba smiling while stuck in a bush.
Nothing will ever be more relatable than this.
oh lol. get better! Everyone seems to have this right now.
