Kiku Apple Review - Apple Rankings by The Appleist Brian Frange Review of the a Kiku Apple, nothing more than a Fuji in disguise rebranded as a Japanese anime girl's sneeze.

Have you seen the "Apple Rankings" website? Some of the reviews can be a little mean or crude but I find them to be often correct applerankings.com/kiku-apple-r...

when was the last time the average price of a single family home in Seattle was $250k? Surely not this century

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

I’ve seen a lot of Seahawks Bullshit but that game was a classic in the genre

North to the Future by Ben Weissenbach

Blank on the Map by Eric Shipton

Under the Red Sea Sun by Edward Ellsberg

The Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert

My four favorite books I read this year, I think. Not sure of the order but North To The Future probably number one

What they get for trusting a Coug in the clutch

I paddled the John River in the Brooks Range and we went past where the Ambler Road would go. It’s a deeply wild place and we paused there to imagine what it would be like to hear a truck. These natural resource issues aren’t always easy but we have to have places where humanity doesn’t come first.

I didn't take it, I got it from someone else who said it was somewhere between Hyak and the Keechelus dam

A big landslide on the Palouse to Cascades trail, near Twin Falls

Washout on the Palouse to Cascades trail, east of Hyak

Atmospheric river damage to the Palouse to Cascades trail, very popular for cycling.

It’s completely reasonable to ask. I sent a similar email and got a similar reply from Vicky. I felt like my intelligence was insulted.

I like Tailwind, it’s what I use, but it’s not what Kate is looking for, too sweet. Nuun is less sweet, that’s what I would vote for.

Announcing the date of Kitty Hall 2026?

We had one of those “lol we’re internet satanists and we have religious freedom to do a ceremony here” rallies at our state capitol and a hardcore conservative state legislator poured olive oil all over where they did it (he was later revealed to be a domestic terrorist)

Watching the canvassing board meetings where they try to determine “voter intent” for some of these truly weird ballots can be incredible viewing. There are a tiny number of voters who mark their ballots in the oddest ways you can imagine.

is there a University Street anywhere in Federal Way they could name it after instead?

sure, as long as we keep #20 off the team - we know how that ends

These all look great! Denali landscape coming my way

Okay now we need an inning where both teams score

the way this is phrased makes me think of like supersoakers and water ballons

the colors and fabrics are well done IMO. The fit is still a little small - look at the chest gap pushing out and the lines pulling at the button. He'd look better in a jacket an inch larger

My favorite story about Reiser in Aliens is that he brought his mom to the premiere and even she cheered when he died

Juanitas should be an acceptable PNW bribe chip too, although yes Tim’s would be my first go-to as well

I like Hailey Moore and Ryan Wilson takes great photos but I have trouble connecting with the rest of what they do

It’s a really really good book

it was extremely effective lol

What I’ve been up to this July (highly performative and ignoring all the boring stuff)

and I thought my town had bad bike infrastructure!
