Me: Maybe instead of a game console or gaming PC, I’ll stream AAA games instead.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: $30 a month, or $1,080 for 3 years, assuming no price increases or paid add-ons.
Me: OK, maybe “owning” games isn’t so bad after all.

Amazon HQ2 is growing rapidly; it’s just that it’s in Bellevue, not Virginia
When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired.
Flash forward 8 years and Amazon's HQ2 is a bust & Seattle's Jumpstart tax is keeping our services afloat

Less than a year ago, @houseourneighbors.bsky.social ran a successful payroll tax campaign to fund #socialHousing in #Seattle. The mayor campaigned against it. That motivated @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social to run for mayor, and win. Let's keep the momentum for an affordable, vibrant city going!
🎉 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.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Many races on the King County ballot, including for the mayor of Seattle, are within one percentage point of each other. Please verify that your ballot was counted, and if not, you can “cure” your ballot to ensure that it counts.
You have to send this link to everyone you know who voted I Seattle: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... It takes like 30 seconds to make sure your vote was counted. Folks on here have all seen this probably, but your friends and family might not have!

BOOM. Wilson closes the gap, with many more ballots left. This is a tremendous result for her.
She trails Harrell by just 1.9% and 4,300 votes. There are many more ballots remaining than at this point in the primary count.

Bonus election viz: here's how precincts shifted towards @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social (more orange) or away from Wilson (more blue) based on election night data, from the primary to the general election. Thanks @katherinemitchell.bsky.social for the suggestion! #seaElex #seattle #dataviz
