Happy Birthday 🎉 🎂

This is some Nobel Prize shit
They should make pizza in the shape of a donut so there's more crust and less undercooked center

SCOOP: Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner apologized for homophobic language and antigay slurs he admitted to writing on Reddit in an interview with me this afternoon, after I confronted him on comments I discovered from as recently as 2021.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits using ‘indefensible’ antigay slurs in unearthed Reddit posts
"Today I find that stuff abhorrent," Platner told The Advocate. "And I am sorry that I ever used it.”

I guess this is when we get to introduce the nation to the tale of the Bonwit Teller building: news.artnet.com/art-world/do...
Spotted this at the bottom of my letterboxd search results for Totally Killer.

Was hoping it was a slasher flick in the Air Bud universe. Alas it was Robert Stack’s final film, apparently.

Feels like a smokescreen to quiet critics of the climate destroying “AI” bubble.

Like Musk pitching cities on his Boring company to sabotage transit funding. Or promising humanoid robots to juice Tesla stock, and crewed missions to Mars any day now.
Good luck, Helion. As I understand it no fusion reactor has come close to generating more energy than it uses to ignite the fusion (net negative.) Highly doubt they know something no one else does.

More hubristic than calling LLMs “AI” and predicting the imminent arrival of an AGI overlord.
Ooh, was that the one down the street from Molly Macguire's/Tin Hat etc?
OK, final nostalgia tidbit I promise, just because it brings us full circle back to art on houses:

I could swear there were early Henrys popping up in Frelard a few years before his "public" debut as an artist in 2008 according to wiki.
Nice! Ballard/Frelard was my stomping ground in the 00s.

Weird big city/small town vibe. Isolated but 24-hr everything in walking distance: bowling, Denny's, fast food, Walgreens, Safeway? Hattie's was about the only thing on Ballard Ave with a liquor license before the LCB revamped menu reqs?
You and me both. Left N Seattle in 2011 after a couple decades bouncing around various dorms/apartments/rented rooms.

Tbf to our Seattle cred, iirc some obstruction was built between the Page House and I-5 that blocks some the view in spots?

No one fact check my cope unless I'm right 😅
According to the blog post it was added in 2016 after Bettie was vandalized (ostensibly by feminists decrying exploitation, though I am highly skeptical as to the motives of the vandals, I smell a nimby false flag.)
I can't mention Divine and Seattle in the same breath without sharing the Bettie Page House so here you go:
Happy Birthday, Divine.

Seattlephile cinephiles: check out this bizarro Sleazy Seattle future noir set in Chinatown/ID.

Divine is a popper-sniffing crime boss living in a mansion played by the Seattle Art Museum (now Seattle Asian Art Museum) in Volunteer Park. See some Chihuly shattered!
Radicalized by a century of American propaganda lol.

Bought in so completely to ideals of truth, freedom and justice that it backfired when I was exposed to reality and wanted to see those ideals upheld, or at least given a sincere attempt.

Which is to say, I think I came from a similar place.
