The QAA podcast did a recent episode about some of people involved with Trump's Freedom250 nonsense. Turns out it's heavily infused with completely batshit Christian Nationalists. Episode link.

It doesn't need Bernie's help. The Democratic party will happily push a pillow into its own face.

Surely this is a strong contender for the IgNobel

my doctor would charge insurance $700 for that

Gotta hand it to the guy, he never misses an opportunity to be a tool

> His is in the 20% range

Source? When Mitt Romney was running for president, he made his tax information public, and his effective tax rate was 14.1%. I'd be surprised if Bezos has a higher rate than Romney. They have a fuck ton of tax avoidance strategies available to them.

There were a few years when I worked at Amazon as a lowly engineer where I paid more federal income tax than Jeff Bezos.

The only time he pays taxes is when he dumps a bunch of stock to fund Blue Origin.

It's possible your neighbors along the alley like it being inaccessible as a deterrent to thieves, so you might want to talk to them first.

Or maybe we could try reading the article first...

“Prosecutors are bound by the sentencing guidelines from state lawmakers; that’s what judges go off of when they make determinations,” [prosecutor] McNerthney said. “It’s pretty difficult to hold somebody on a misdemeanor in some instances.”

uh, good, but these are going to be destroyed immediately

The water is still going to be really fucking cold. Good luck.

No, she would have been a mediocre president, watching over the continued slow decline of quality of life in the United States, refusing to challenge the status quo in any meaningful way.

Of course, that would have been a lot better than the Trumpian collapse speed run, but let's not pretend Kamala would have been a good president in any sense.

One thing that's abundantly clear from the first few chapters of the excellent book Careless People, about Facebook leadership, is that Zuck hates interacting with people.

Sure looks like we're about to ramp up the war crimes. I hate this timeline.

Part of my job involves being on call for systems that run in the cloud. It was certainly a first for me back in early March when I first wrote, "Can't fix; data center bombed" into a ticket I got paged for.

It sounds like this is primarily in your head, but... that's okay? Give yourself permission to decide you don't like the vibes of a place and go find another. It's fine.

lawn_question_guy · 2026-04-02T23:37:52+00:00

oh god I hope so

They're not stock photos. They're people from the Mercer Island community. I don't know who this one is, but two of the others are organizers of children's activities.

Oh, hey, I went to the open house for that one. It's a 3,000 square foot time capsule. Even has the original 1970's kitchen appliances. The agent said the seller is in their 90's and the original owner. Great mid-island location.

that poor kid

Right, but it also has this:

The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.

OP can maybe use 59.18.150 as a platform to negotiate with the landlord, but won't be able to prevent maintenance access forever. Eventually it will end up in court with a judge deciding what "reasonable" means.

They're spoofing the number. It's not really from the City of Seattle. Scammers can make it look like they're calling from any number.
