a graph of seattle link light rail ridership, shown as a rolling 12M average
US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way
Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵
this is not incidental!
to be a liberal/pluralist of any kind requires accepting that other people will see things differently than you do and that you have no sanctified monopoly on the One Truth.
this is what illiberals hate about liberalism. it’s the starting point for many.
which are?
I prefer the chill zone.
That was a wildly bad idea btw. I got disqualified in a competition. It was a real air bud-ish situation.
Not in the rules but nobody wanted to hear it because flamethrower.
I strapped my first flamethrower on a robot built out of RC parts and an 8086 motherboard in the late 90s.
Isn’t that just a normal part of growing up?
Rachel Maddow called Bill a genius of exposition. Which rings true to me. Who else finds such clear, concise, vivid ways to sum up where we are and where we could and should be?

Probably nicely.
this is why we need more ferrys and light rail. Then natural disasters wouldn't get stuck on I-5.

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh
Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
