Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson: "The World Cup was great! Seattle is a good place to be and if we work at it, we can make it even better!" www.seattletimes.com/opinion/seat... Average brain-dead out-of-towner responding in the Seattle Times comment section:

No question that more people are the key to a lively and safer City. But the kind of people matter. World Cup fans were all successful people who earned enough to fly to the Seattle, many internationally, and pay for places to stay, meals, and visits to Costco and Waffle House if the Wall Street Journal article today is accurate. They were fun loving good sported people.

There is a world of difference between World Cup fans and the indigent trans people you are considering a state of emergency to bring here, the bitter socialist crowd who are your base, and the unhinged unhoused occupying our streets. A great City, like a great country, requires people who want to work, raise children, go to church, live in a clean and safe neighborhood, and fight for their country.

Sadly, your "progressive policies" of increased taxation with decreased public safety and cleanliness are driving the people with jobs and children out.

Rolling the dice. Will the WSB approve my extremely “controversial” take about parking in the Junction, guaranteed to make the usual crowd’s heads explode?

A draft response on the West Seattle Blog:
“Your comment is awaiting moderation…

I think this is a great opportunity for us to permanently pedestrianize the whole of California between Oregon and Edmonds. Make the whole area into a nice walkable “mall” with trees and brick lined plazas. Reroute the buses but run them more frequently. Provide ample bike parking. Make it more European, like cities in Spain or Italy. “

Accidental Renaissance Painting

I hope RFK Jr gets pelted with at least one gross object before he leaves town. Or maybe the Hammering Man outside of the Seattle Art Museum comes to life and steps on him-- that would be rad.

It is a real privilege to live in Seattle right now. I have no idea what drew me here all those years ago, but people in this city are really trying to get things right.

This reminds me of the Critical Art Ensemble's "Electronic Civil Disobedience" essays explaining how our society still accepts and even encourages human sacrifice, as long as it's in the service of cars.

Sacrifices beyond the boundary between the visible and the invisible occasionally surface in everyday life. We all know that many people die on the roads and highways of the US every year (approximately 50,000 per year). These people are willingly and uselessly sacrificed to show the sincerity of our desire for transportation technology. No means to end this sacrifice exists, short of closing the roads, and yet no honor is paid to those who give their life for the excess of travel—it remains forever hidden.

If you don’t know Kenneth Patchen, consider looking into his work.

Kenneth Patchen “picture poem.” Various weird and surreal creatures with a poem reading:
“THE BEST HOPE
Is that one of these days the ground will get disgusted enough just to walk away leaving people with nothing my to stand on than what they have so bloody well stood for up to now.”

I’m honestly sorry for people who don’t like dogs. You’re welcome to that opinion but you’re missing out on some weird and wonderful experiences.

Black and brindle dog, maybe a German Shepherd mix, laying on the floor. Her back 1/3 are on a grey dog bed and the top 1/3 of her (head legs torso) are off of the dog bed on a reddish decorated rug.

Who’s ready for a Nonnus book club? It’s a mere 700 pp. This is actually quite exciting bc the translation I read was terrible.

This is incredible. We really hate dandelions in this country.

Possibly an AI generated image? A bearded, archetypal "manly man" uses a propane torch disguised as a machine guy to set a dandelion on fire.

I happen to have a soft spot for these walking dudes. I painted this in like 2003?

Just look at this. Just look at it. People are falling for it! and that is incredible to me.

Fucking hell. It’s like the weird doppelgänger police station in “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.”

While I was finishing this piece, I typed passports.gov directly into my browser, just to see what was there. A sign-in page came up: enter your email and we will send you a six-digit code. No State Department seal. No agency name. No privacy notice. Just a black button that says Send code. The owner of passports.gov is the Executive Office of the President, White House Office. The State Department does not own this domain. The security contact field is blank. The first certificate was issued May 5, three weeks ago. Based on what I can see in the staging environment, the next step will ask Americans to upload their passport photo through a White House-controlled website, on the same Cloudflare account, by the same people, with no privacy notice on file. A passport photo is biometric quality. Linked to your identity through Login.gov. Collected through infrastructure the White House owns, sealed from public view. They are building it this week.

The Highland Park "Action Coalition" (read: "We Heart Highland Park") suggests that adding a bike lane/speed limitations to a dangerous road will something something Nature Greenbelt Brain Fart. Hopefully SDOT will bin this "letter" and these turds will go back to r/SeattleWa 3/3

s you consider our safety and community process concerns, please also keep in mind the gateway nature of this route as an entry point to the Highland Park, Riverview and South Delridge neighborhoods. Projects like this are an opportunity to reflect our values with the infrastructure investments we make.

Our vision is that Highland Park Way be re-considered as- Highland Parkway – a greener, gentler entry/exit/connection to this area. The Duwamish Greenbelt it bisects is a vast City owned space and park for future generations, supporting rich natural habitat, and providing easy access to trails that provide respite from the urban environment. This space promises to be a resource increasing in importance and value over time with swelling population density.

Instead of pushing back on this duplicitous and very questionable claim (“Surveillance cameras are the number one tool for catching (criminals))” from SW Precinct Cmdr Krista Bair, the WSB publishes it as fact, proving once again that many neighborhood bloggers are only marginally "journalists." 2/3

She also pitched the Connect Seattle voluntary registry for private security cameras so that if investigators are looking for cameras in a certain place, they’ll know who has them (though even if you’re registered, you are not obliged to turn over your video). “Surveillance cameras are the number one tool for catching (criminals),” she emphasized.

“Great question! Yes, that mushroom is safe to eat.”

Q: How many p’s are in Google

If you are looking at how the word is spelled letter-by-letter:

"EVGUY" (naturally) is terrified that "they"(?) will "blow up a game" and thinks the concerns about the cameras amount to "the feds" looking for "illegal aliens" (naturally).

EVGuy May 26, 2026 (12:44 pm) Reply
Turn them on NOW. We already paid for them! They’re supposed to be used to fight crime, not sit around turned off because someone somewhere is worried that their illegal activity may get videotaped, or that somehow, some way, some day, the feds might look at the footage and see an illegal alien. Or sure, leave them turned off until someone blows up a game, and then turn them on, they totally work retroactively I’m sure.

Oh here they come hahaha. "Susan" is terrified about "MAYHEM"

I definitely agree with Saka on this!! Why on earth does Mayor Wilson persist in Magical Thinking that everyone will behave themselves when it’s a perfect recipe for mayhem?!?! 🙄

The headline on the article when you click through is even more sensationalistic and bonkers. “Dark truths?” Seriously?! “THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL UNLEASH ELDRITCH HORRORS UPON THE INNOCENT AND USHER IN A NEW ERA OF DARKNESS”

Hey let’s report this absolute POS. They’re spamming Islamophobic word salad on every post about the San Diego shooting today. We can do without this lowlife scum.

Sorry for those of you in Seattle who don't go to Joketeller's Union. You missed the inaugural showing of Seattle's Pop-Up Parasite Museum, featuring the World's Longest Crocheted Tapeworm.

A small stage in a nightclub with a table displaying various jars. A yellow banner over the table says "Seattle Parasite Museum"

A glass jar containing a ribbon with a label: "RIBBON WORM"

An empty glass jar on its side, labelled "THIS ONE GOT OUT"

Yikes, a lot of y'all are choosing to Fedpost today (or I somehow ended up on fedsky). Look, ppl: don't trust anybody posting shit like this on main-- they're either a fed, or somebody dangerously thoughtless. Either way, blocking is your pal.
