The Disney+ et. al. websites are quickly turning into the same broken mess that telecom sites are.

Mamdani seems like a prog willing to ruffle feathers to pass good government reforms.

Dean Preston was a prog who was unwilling to do this

Like 90% of local elected Dems are mod Dems unwilling to ruffle feathers.

I do think it should be a priority of WA to consolidate conurbation suburban cities and special districts within UGAs into sizable governments. Independent local gov serving 6k, 3k, 20k, etc people is very inefficient and leads to nonsense patchworks of arbitrary disparities

"There's a vaccine for cervical cancer" and yet we haven't introduced it to the mandatory regiment in Washington State. Virginia, Rhode Island, Hawaii, and DC have done it. It's time.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

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!

Just close all of 1st Ave at this point.

The biggest potential upside for colonizing Mars is that it's our civilization's last, best chance to get one set of rail gauge/electrification standards and one system bicycle wheel sizing measurements in place.

this is really what gets me. these guys have been so devoid of a single creative thought. like a full on far right conservative would at least show up with some passion lol. the council chambers just looked like a shitty bar where everyone is drinking alone and scowling.
Put it this way: if they had any other big ideas don't you think they would've tried em by now? in an election year in which their council president and mayor were up for re-election? That's all they got. It was a strictly revanchist enterprise: criminalize visible poverty & protect the status quo

Also peak schadenfreude that Bruce won’t get to do arguably the only thing that mattered to him personally as mayor, which is to open the World Cup

Cool to see government organizations using the DNS usernames correctly.
Happy Friday of Election Week! We expect to post around 100,000 ballots in today’s results update. That will leave around 120,000 ballots left to count, so we’ll have a large number to post on Monday, too.
