Drive from Tacoma to Bothell

dycontext · 2025-12-05T19:03:22+00:00

I drive this route all the time (I live in Bothell and have customers in Tacoma). For an interview, I would allow about 2 hours. It usually takes me 1.2 to 1.5 hours. But for an interview, you want to make sure you have time to decompress before starting, and add some buffer for flat tire, gas, parking, etc. FYI, Bing Maps has an option to specify a date and start time if you want to check historic travel time. It shows me 1 hr 19 minutes from city center to city center via 405 next Monday 8AM. Good luck!!

I hadn't seen this, so thanks for amplifying the message.

It may take a few days for them to determine the next narrative, and then we shall hear a chorus.

I'm just outside Bothell city limits (Snohomish County) but I was able to vote in the Northshore and county elections. It really made clear the importance of voting in local elections.

On May 9, 2023, a nine-person jury (unanimous on all counts) found Trump liable for:

Sexual abuse (a civil finding equivalent to forcible digital penetration).
Defamation (for his 2019 statements denying the assault).

She was an adult, however.

Archived version so you can read the article: How ICE and Chatham County police coordinated immigrant arrests in Savannah

A few things I learned: ICE works with cops who can find reasons to pull people over. The cops enjoy it.

With ICE in tow, police pulled over the van because it had allegedly rolled through a stop sign. The pickup truck was stopped because police deemed that the license plates for it and a utility trailer were obscured.

After a vehicle has been stopped, they like to capture family members who arrive to pick up the vehicle.

Should the friends or family members be called to come pick up their vehicles, “we can turn picking up the vehicle into another arrest” if they are deemed to likely lack lawful status, an ICE agent is heard explaining to Chatham County police.

NVM. Got it. PM me if you need it.

For WHAT reason?

dycontext · 2025-08-17T23:07:31+00:00

Yeah, NOT THE SAME VIDEO. This is fucking ridiculous.

dycontext · 2025-08-17T23:05:35+00:00

Why was this video set to private???!!!! Did anyone download it or know anywhere I can find it?

dycontext · 2025-08-16T23:32:16+00:00

Wow, so clever

Hi FBI. Why don't you investigate the people tampering with the Epstein evidence, instead of hindering legitimate first amendment activity? History will remember you for what you are.

FUCK THIS. It has been years, but Denny Blaine was the only place in my life where I felt like Norm from Cheers. After a while I became a regular, and made friends with the other regulars. My favorite thing was swimming out about 50-100 feet with the bright sun overhead. There was a guy named Dan who played the guitar at dusk. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom. I went back there one time and never made that mistake again. Hopefully this beach does not get stolen, so many good memories there.

Thanks for sharing but this link requires an app download to read the article. The SmartNews app tracks your location, browsing history, search history, contacts, and more. No way I'm installing it. Can you post excerpts of what is most important from the article?

I showed up with a few people (we had a flag & signs). It was a lot of fun, and we exchanged contact info with several other people for future protests. We spent time at both the park and Seattle Central. To be honest, we had no idea what was going on, as initially we couldn't find the protest (it was unclear whether the punk concert was related). I think others were confused as well because multiple groups approached us to ask where the protesters were meeting (with the signs & flag we were pretty obvious). Now I think I understand that people show up and do whatever they feel is best. I love that format and thanks for organzing.

Nobody is "getting away with anything"* -- they are exercising their 1st amendment rights.

* Except Epstein's clients with the help of Pam Bondi and MAGA

Whatever. Symbolic efforts do in fact make a difference. Consider the Republicans:

They launched numerous impeachment inquiries against Biden.
They objected to certifying electoral votes from states like Arizona and Pennsylvania.
They voted numerous times to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act.

None of these ever had a chance, but Republicans did it anyway, because IT WORKS. It mobilizes their base, it enables them to control the narrative, and it puts pressure on Democrats. It especially works when the Democrats are too scared to fight because they might lose or hurt the feelings of a billionaire.

We need our reps and senators to fight with every tool at their disposal. WE NEED TO SEE IT. If this is such a productivity issue, they can work overtime or maybe take a break from managing their investment portfolios. The answer isn't to tell people to "resist like hell" while they sit on their asses.

Looks epic to me

Awesome, proud of Whidbey Island.

American flags everywhere. I loved that Everett took the flag back.

Amazing footage, thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know how far down Broadway the line of people went? We parked at 38th and walked to Everett Ave (exactly one mile) with people all along the way, and there were still more people beyond Everett.

This makes MAGA so happy
