King Shirt of Fork Mountain

@benryanwriter @KeenanPeachy Have you ever heard that cliche where a woman tells a man her problems and the man responds by offering some solutions to the problem, but that’s the wrong response because the woman just wants to be heard? I think that cliche might explain 90% of feminism.

@MarinerMuse “Nuclear apocalypse” could be read both ways but then you backed it up with a score prediction 👏

Ball knower, respectfully

@cptbananas @shakeitupbabyy I haven’t been remotely hostile. I’ve only made a fact-based argument. I don’t know why I should “take the L” when no one has actually shown me evidence I’m wrong. Speaking of evidence, here is some more to support my claim. politifact.com/factchecks/202…

@SJLanderos @shakeitupbabyy buddy, I didn’t mean to follow down this rabbit hole, but I did and the only one ‘hostile’ here is you you are 100% in the wrong regarding inflation and wages (which are insanely beyond stagnant) take the L ‘King’ and call it a night

The Mariners just did a between innings "entertainment" segment comparing prices of things from 1977 to present day. It was sad, depressing, and a reminder of how fucked this world has become for younger generations. I'm........I'm not sure why they did that lmao

@shakeitupbabyy Also just FYI “wreck your entire existence” does come across as kind of hostile, so maybe reconsider your choice of words if that isn’t what you’re going for.

@shakeitupbabyy Okay I look forward to seeing what you send. But I’m not trying to minimize anything and I don’t like today’s prices any more than you do. I was just making the very basic point that comparing nominal prices from 1977 to now is fairly meaningless without context.

@shakeitupbabyy Sorry to disappoint you, but you’re not going wreck my entire existence. I’m not really sure why you feel the need to be so hostile over this, but I guess that’s just the way people are on here.

@SJLanderos I'm not going to debate you while I'm at a game but I'm more than happy to wreck your entire existence when I get home.

@shakeitupbabyy The music was a lot better, however.

@shakeitupbabyy Also I do find it a bit funny to be nostalgic for the economy of the late 70s. If you aren’t familiar with that period, look up stagflation and the late 70s fuel crisis. It was not a great time economically.

@SJLanderos Today's wages have not increased at the same rate everything else has. That would have made it even worse lol

@MojoMariner Dan manages the team on autopilot. Or maybe it’s Jerry.

Change. The. Lineup. My goodness it cant be that THAT hard of a concept

It’s not just that they were policing language. They were prohibiting a necessary question by publicly shaming the person who dared to ask it.

@MarinersSteve So that’s who that is? I spent the first hour thinking it was Tom Brady

The Mariners suck right now, but I really enjoy Ryon Healy in the booth and think he should get a lot more opportunities imo

@EmeraldCityHky I will be rooting for a pointless finish to a pointless season

For those on Team Tank: One more standings point for the Kraken this season would ensure they don't have top-5 lottery odds.

@avidseries Yes. Prior to 2020 I was a fairly standard progressive, now I don’t really know. Still socially liberal but non-woke, economically conservative and/or libertarian.

I have a mix of conservative, liberal and centrist followers. It's not possible for me to tweet without making a decent percentage of my followers angry. But I'm wondering if you are in that very small percentage of my followers who find yourself agreeing with my tweets at least 80% of the time. If you are, please reply in the affirmative, and provide a brief description of your political orientation, if you don't mind.

Washingtonians, don’t like the income tax? THEN MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW. The new, unconstitutional income tax is on the ballot five times. That’s because there are FIVE spots up for election on the WA Supreme Court. 🔔Election Day: November 2nd 2026 🔔Primary election: August 4th SET THEM BOTH WITH REMINDERS 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE. DO NOT LET YOUR BALLOT JUST SIT THERE THIS YEAR! In the Primary, we narrow down the choices to two finalists for each position, so don’t leave this to the activists alone. In August, people are on vacation and so the most hardened activists get an outsized say in the final two November choices. (That’s why we often end up with Bad and Worse to choose from.) Pay attention, and resolve to VOTE this year. It matters. At a minimum, put these two dates on your calendar with reminders well in advance. Please re-share.

Olympia passed a 10% luxury tax on private aircraft. Then reality hit the fan. Before the tax even took effect, aircraft buyers were already registering planes in other states. Dealers losing sales. Maintenance shops losing business. Rural airports taking hits. Excerpt: "Aircraft owners and aviation businesses testified that purchases are being delayed, redirected, or moved out of state. Once that business leaves Washington, it's extremely difficult to bring it back." So yesterday, Gov. Ferguson signed the repeal. Let's be clear: I'm for lower taxes on everything — jets, income, property, cigarettes, diapers, milk, gasoline, capital gains, health care, online purchases, all of it. Lower taxes are always good (look at the all the stupid spending Olympia is doing when they think they have unlimited funds). But notice what just happened: Olympia imposed the tax. The market immediately routed around it (see what i did there?). Olympia panicked and reversed itself — weeks before the tax even kicked in. This is the same legislature that just passed a 9.9% income tax and told you it was about "fairness." Apparently fairness has a carve-out for jets when the economic consequences are too obvious to ignore. Economics doesn’t give a flying ferguson what Olympia believes. It just keeps score. ainonline.com/aviation-news/…

Blue states like WA aren't serious about good governance, part XXII, this time summed up in a devastating Seattle Times column by Danny Westneat

@mattbramanti @EWErickson We had a Native American Vice President, Charles Curtis, who spent his childhood on a reservation. He's been erased from history because he basically thought reservations and Indian nations should be dissolved and fully integrated into America. In hindsight, he was correct.

@DavyJonesLR What are the allegations?
