The Browser company made Arc. A delightful, unique, polished browser with a dedicated fan base. But...then they stopped new feature development on Arc and pivoted to make Dia: basically chrome with a chatGPT plugin.

Anyway, OpenAI did the most predictable thing and basically sherlocked them.

Introducing ChatGPT Atlas

The browser with ChatGPT built in.

Just wanna highlight that Seattle Public Schools teacher salaries start at just over $60,000, less than half what a new Seattle police officer will make after six months under the new contract.

Cops get bonuses for two-year associate degrees; teachers, of course, have to have finished college.

Salaries were significantly higher last year, presumably because of inflation:

You can just go quiet for a couple days and then come back and block people. bluesky's aggressive block is there for a reason.

Right turn restrictions at Denny and Westlake are speeding up the streetcar (and Route 40, C Line) and making it easier for pedestrians to cross at the same time.

Harrell is entering his psychotic mad man era

Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d

INBOX: I'm cackling. The Harrell campaign is pretending that the mean things progressives (including me) said against his policy of consistently defunding affordable housing are actually about Katie Wilson. A+, incredible crash out, I'm-rubber-your-glue. Honored to be nominated.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.

Sincerity is not the problem

As is inevitably the case after an election — and is especially the case after an election with an unexpected result — allies of the losing presidential candidate in 2024 looked for people to blame. O...

Great, even-handed analysis of Harrell's time in office.

Gordon Padelford @gordonofseattle.bsky.social · 2d

Okay 🧵 time (1/?). @nickdeshais.bsky.social has some good content here, but I think it's missing some key observations.

First, I would say Harrell's biggest transportation accomplishments are #1 letting @spottnik.bsky.social finish the last levy in a strong way, and #2 the Pike Place pilot.
