@30InSeattle @jwhittenbergK5 It was confirmed by news media and, apologies if you are legally blind, but the photos show they are literally the same person.

@DawgsWhy @jwhittenbergK5 So…don’t do this. You don’t know if this is the same person, and are effectively accusing them by posting this. You need to delete this.

BREAKING: SPD confirms the suspect in the UW student murder, turned himself in overnight. We're getting new details right now.
Jake Whittenberg@jwhittenbergK5
NEW: Seattle Police have released new photos of the suspect they say murdered a UW student in an off-campus apt building laundry room. You're asked to call 911 or the SPD tipline a 206-233-5000.

@loganb Wait until you see how much DCYF is sending to all these in-home daycares. It’s a scandal that the Democratic establishment wants to ignore - but publicity available data shows you have DCYF funding slots at >$6k/child/month.
English
So $8.2M for 40 slots is $200,000 per child. 🤔
Malia Marks@TheMaliaMarks
Breaking: WA State reversed course and released information on new taxpayer-funded daycare grant recipients. Why on God's green earth is the city of Republic getting $8.2M to open 40 new daycare slots, when a facility in Camas is able to open 156 spaces with just $2M? Thanks to @future42org for sharing the scoop!

@AngryChuck74 @CasuallyGreg Minimum wage in Seattle is $21.30/hour and that includes servers who get tipped. It’s wild that we are supposed to tip for counter-service or a coffee. Servers at decent restaurants are wildly overpaid relative to other retail workers.
English
@CasuallyGreg I have tip fatigue. I'm just about quit eating out anymore. In Florida tip wage is $10.98 going up $1 in September. A server even in a small restaurant is probably making $30 to $40 an hour which is a lot more than I make.

@benmaritz This may some crazy, but the best way to make housing more affordable is to stop charging “affordability” taxes/fees and actually make housing more affordable. Literally every economist agrees that reducing barriers reduces prices.
English
Seattle charges about $30-40/sf for apartments but $0 for new single family homes.
Sukrit Ganesh 🇺🇸 🥑 🚲🛩️@SukritGanesh
The city of Santa Clara charges affordable housing fees of $31/sq ft for a new apartment and $45/sq ft for a new single-family home. For a while, I thought these were outrageous ... and then I see what other CA cities are charging and realize we're lucky, relatively speaking.

@loganb Dems should realize that Marco is the GOP’s version of 2008 Obama - except with better quals. He’s charasmatic, unifying & provides a sense of decency and optimism in the same way Obama did.
Dems will disagree of course, but so would Reps - because of partisanship.
English
It’s actually super embarrassing that we’ve ceded this answer to Marco F***ing Rubio while he’s The Hand of the Mad King.

@nathanlean There were two Islamist terrorist attacks in the US today alone. And you iteration did the Norm meme. Try to keep your eye on the ball.
Let’s focus on the scourge of violent Islamism rather than those who may cast too wide of a net while condemning it.
English
I've studied Islamophobia for more than 15 years, and I've never seen it as explicit, unchecked, and out in the open as it is today, on this platform. Disgusting stuff. Tuberville should be censured and run out of town.

@davidshor Now do Jewish/Muslim segregation in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Libya, "Palestine", Lebanon, Saudi, Oman, Kuwait, and the rest of the Arab world.
Where are their Jews? Those are the actual Apartheid countries. And then gender apartheid in those countries...
English
Jewish/Muslim segregation in Israel is unlike anything seen anywhere in the US within living memory.
Israeli Jews are ~7x more likely to have zero Muslim neighbors than white Americans are to have zero Black neighbors — for Israeli Muslims vs Black Americans, it's ~78x.

@JordanSchachtel The Kurds, and about a dozen other ethnic minorities, deserve a state more than the Palestinian Arabs.
English
The Kurds helped us defeat ISIS and now they’re going to go toe to toe with the IRGC. They deserve a state.

@DanCollins2011 @AngelicaOung You conveniently forget when Iranian Islamist fanatics took over the US embassy in 1979. Perhaps that’s more relevant if you’re trying to cite precedent.
English
Embassies used to be an absolute no-go zone in military conflicts and it was always respected.
Then the CIA hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in ‘99.

@Haqiqatjou It’s a shame we couldn’t kill him twice. At least he’s with his pedophile prophet now.

To understand the significance of Khamenei's assassination and why its such a catastrophic blunder for the US, consider this:
Iran has never had a martyred Supreme Leader. (Khomeini died of a heart attack.) For the leader of the Islamic Republic to be martyred by the Great Satan is 1000% on brand.
Furthermore, Khamenei was killed in Ramadan, the same month as Ali, the first imam of Shiism.
He was also killed with his family, which Shia view as parallel to the martyrdom of Husayn and his family in Karbala.
This takes Khamenei and the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic to record levels in the eyes of the Shia globally, and increasingly Sunnis.
Trump made this incredible blunder because he obeyed Netanyahu and adopted the Israeli strategy of kill everyone and everything.

@GerardAraud In other words, the US solved the Nazi problem for you, but should have solved it sooner?
I detest Trump’s foreign policy, but the more I read Euro’s elites’ takes on here, the less sympathetic I feel toward them.
English
If the US has supported European democracies in the 1930, we wouldn’ t have « to solve the problem » through a world war. We would have nipped nazism in the bud.

@GerardAraud Oh, please. Nazi Germany was Europe's problem and we solved it for you.

@nateliason It’s wild how much AI has a very specific writing style and, if you read enough, it’s instantly identifiable.

@AlexanderPayton @gaulicsmith Next, time dilation means that 2.5-year trip to the traveler would've taken 20 years on Earth. Wild.
English
@AlexanderPayton @gaulicsmith Near speed of light travel becomes more believable when you think of it as a constant 1g acceleration. Planes take off at about 1.5g. At 1g of constant acceleration, it would take about 2.5 years to reach 99.9% speed of light. The limiting factor to achieving this is propellant.
English
The most depressing solution to the Fermi Paradox is that FTL is impossible and therefore interstellar civilization is also impossible. You are forever confined to something like “the Expanse”
Chris 🇺🇲💦🍑@Alicoh1
the speed of light is a hard limit and any sci-fi future that involves FTL travel or even communication is simply off the table for our species.

@AlexRMcColl Trump is an antagonistic president of unprecedented proportions. Not even Vance will treat Canada this poorly. My recommendation to US allies is to just wait three years because both countries are better off as friends. Running to China compounds the problem.
English
Yeah, we’re going to buy Gripens & GlobalEyes.

@hilucyleduck It was so long ago that Oregon had a DB drafted in the first round that his son graduated from UW five years ago. That son, Elijah Molden, was drafted as a DB from UW five years ago.
English
@AaronBastani Except he’s making a wildly reactionary mistake based upon the whims of a historically bad US president. The US is doing stupid things right now, but he’s compounding those mistakes with his own. No Trump successor will treat Canada this badly like Trump is, not even Vance.
English
Something genuinely weird about a western leader being the smartest person in the room. Not in a jargony, formulaic way (I’m smart because I learn IMF papers by rote!) but in a way where’s he’s actually thought about things very deeply.

@mrandystevens @DavidSacks @SemiAnalysis_ Yeah, SPU charges $20.45 per 748 gallons of water. Assuming the same rate in CA, this would imply the average In N Out spends over $4M per year just on water. Considering Google tells me the average In N Out grosses about $5M per year, I think not.
English
@DavidSacks @SemiAnalysis_ Something tells me an In-N-Out store isn't using 16,780 gallons of water an hour... The math ain't mathin'
English
Narrative violation: The largest AI data center uses roughly the same amount of water as two burger joints. There are over 200,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. so this is a tiny amount.
