@BryanMi @INRIX @kirklandgov It's cool how you cited a Proud Boys terrorism promoter as a source

This week @INRIX signed a lease which will move us out of Kirkland which has been our home for the past 18 years. Why? @KirklandGov made a decision to put a homeless hotel right across the street from our current HQ, in the backyard of #EastsidePrep and next door to @Burgermaster. No drug testing required, no treatment required and no real supervision on-site. Where this experiment has happened before in King County, crime rates have risen since according to reliable data, 70%+ of homelessness is the result of drug addiction and/or mental health issues (@choeshow, @DiscoveryInst1). When I attended the City Council meeting to speak out on this issue, @KirklandGov refused to let anyone speak. A previous mayor once told me years ago that INRIX was the 5th largest employer in @Kirkland. I have no idea what we are now (we've grown), but bad public policy has consequences. Employers can move. We are. If a local government won't listen to it's citizens and/or employers, they will probably find other places to locate.

the rest of the EPISODE about STEALTH with @AleaKootz

@pavedwalden Look into Automatic1111 some time, local stable diffusion

I thought I was being clever, starting a new chat with less context. But the cheeky bastard generated the same generic old man from the first attempt.

I was going to do one of those "make it more" threads with an increasingly dead Kissinger but the AI saftiests ruined it

@RealSeattleNice hey, I love the pod! In your most recent episode discussing the results of the general, the word “mandate” was getting a lot of use. Maybe it’s because the ballots weren’t completely counted, but does lower turnout and fairly thin margins really mean a mandate?

@wsdot Hoping you’d join Mastodon, I saw somebody post this over here and came back just to request it!

Morning! Twitter going down for a bit yesterday reminded me that I meant to ask you: Do you follow us on any other social media platforms? If so, where? Where else do you get information about what's going on on the roads? Media? Website?

@JesseThorn @hodgman @jmarms @MaxFunHQ @enjoypt @ptscene @ptleader Honestly going to see if I can switch our tickets from Seattle, we love PT, and not a school night!

@pavedwalden That's some real January 20 2017 energy

I was saying boo-urns

I'll miss this account

Elon Musk's Twitter just suspended the account of antifascist researcher @chadloder likely to suppress reporting on right-wing extremists. As I reported, Loder's painstaking research identifying a Proud Boy who attacked police on Jan 6 was cited by the DOJ theintercept.com/2021/11/10/pro…

Hours after documenting Andy Ngo's vocal support for known pedophiles, journalist Vishal P. Singh (@VPS_Reports) has been suspended from Twitter.

@candidklamp I’m not thrilled by the “hey, this site was bought by a huge dick, let’s all pile into another one and hope that doesn’t happen again” pattern. Then again I hit a 10MB attachment limit on Mastodon that kept me from posting a picture, maybe a traffic issue?

I actually think you can explain a lot of the reactionary turn among VC types and their railing against the “laptop class” in these terms: they have to deal with a workforce that has relatively high amount of leverage over them and knows it, and they fucking hate it.

The Old God prepares for final battle

I like imagining that this is some Leto Atreides II situation and this is all part of the Golden Path

Everything happens so much

@JadedSketch I only just learned about it on an episode of Know Your Enemy about Aurthur W Hunt III a couple days ago. Why did none of my Catholic Social Teaching classes cover this!

@macjustice I’ve never heard of this and it sounds pretty good??

Getting kinda into distributionism, ngl en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribut…

“Traffic is up!” Do you know how many people showed up to watch my local sports stadium be demolished in 2000

Hit me up at +macjustice on G+
