This fantastic Thanksgiving thread is worth your time.
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

Remember with this upcoming holiday season that this nation was accidentally stumbled upon and eventually founded by people desperately trying to find a short cut to the land of Spices. The least you could do this season, is buy some fresh ones, use them generously & use more then 5.

🎉 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.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

CM Alexis Mercedes Rinck is currently providing remarks at the budget committee as to why she doesn't support diverting Seattle Transit Measure dollars for transit service to Rob Saka's proposal for a transit safety czar.

What the actual fuck. Why is it legal for City Council to redirect the funds the voters approved and do pet personal projects? I'm not even sure how we stop Saka the Grifter from destroying our city further.
January can't come soon enough.
West Seattle WTAF come get/recall your guy, please.

In the end, only Rinck opposed amending the 2020 Seattle Transit Measure, approved by 80.32% of voters, to add a new spending category for transit safety and security.
The $250,000 budget amendment will directly siphon funds from transit service that the city buys from King County.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

This is one of the most important yet least told stories in Seattle over the last 5 years: the steady scaling back of transit service, even as we expand light rail. We need to bring transit back closer to more people.
Seattle used to fund so much transit service until covid (and jenny durkan)
In 2019, almost 75% of the city lived within walking distance of a bus every 10 mins or better. Today, it's only like 50%!
Time to get the buses running again!

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Awesome job mayor-elect @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social!
Not easy going on national media, but this was spot on.
I think when you know who you are and stay true to your values, it makes interviews like this easier.

Seattle’s new mayor-elect speaks to CNN on Mamdani comparison: Its ‘remarkable’, ‘makes a lot of sense’ | CNN
In her first national interview, Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson talks to CNN’s Erin Burnett about her win in Sacramento and why she’s fine with being called a socialist.

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.
We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.
This is YOUR city!

I mean Wilson literally did say that if she didn't challenge him, no one would. And now she's the likely next mayor

The last time we elected a grassroots-backed mayor was McGinn in 2009! Since then every mayor we've had has been heavily backed & influenced by Amazon, Expedia, Comcast, CenturyLink, Starbucks, Uber, Vulcan, WA Assoc of Realtors, the Chamber of Commerce, the billionaire owner of the Mariners, etc.

What's a recent book that broke you?
Two days ago I finished the audiobook of Parable of the Sower ( by Octavia E. Butler) narrated by Lynn Thigpen.
I'm distraught, I'm literally asking strangers to talk about it. Almost unsure if reality or the book is real.
