This would…not be cool at all.

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 2d

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

What? Why? We have lots of actual artists and cultural institutions in this city and state who can enrich our city. Why would we debase that for empty AI nonsense?

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 2d

Like every mayor before him, Harrell wants arts and culture events downtown. The difference is that "you're going to see a lot of AI in it."

It would be rude and showy for someone from Seattle to be first. That’s what east coasters do.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

@washingtonobserver.bsky.social with some serious truth telling about the journalism massacre at @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social , whose TV overlords decided journalism just wasn’t worth it. If you’re a KCTS9 donor, maybe try something else. #Seattle

The administration’s fight with Home Depot has escalated from the initial raids by the crack ICE agents in Sealant Team 6 to a full blown economic war.

He’s going to nuke one before November

We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025.
Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale "FLOODING" of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Legislative workday for me today, starting with a tour and then *lots* of zoom meetings

State Representative Julia Reed @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social · 18d

Today is one of my “legislative workdays” when I take leave from my regular job to spend all day doing legislative work! Spent the morning on a really interesting tour of @cunardline.bsky.social ‘s beautiful Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, learning all about their environmental systems #Seattle

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.

Actually, the people gave the station millions of dollars recently but the station decided that wasn’t sustainable revenue and fired the entire newsroom without making an effort to save them at all. Coincidentally, the CEO doesn’t like the news union and now all those pesky union people are gone!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.
