WATCH: “Where’s my kid gonna go, Gino? He’s in Kindergarten.”

Rep. Gino Bulso’s HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12 — he defends it by saying parents can “opt out”, but doesn’t seem to have thought through what that actually means for young kids.

I dare any mainstream publication to make a montage of the most crowded protests their entire front page tomorrow.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Once again just has the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social fired all of their fact checkers and editors and if @ericacbarnett.bsky.social @ericacbarnett.bsky.social and I are gonna do the job can we get a stipend?
Just reading up on the city budget (been on vacation). There are a number of strange errors and misconstruals in the Seattle Times' coverage, including a reference ot "Seattle's income tax" (we don't have one) and spending outpacing revenue in a worsening economy (that's not what caused the deficit)

The city has faced consistently bleak revenue projections for years, and, as was the case last year, city spending continued to outpace revenue this year.

Oh no. NSF Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program shuttered.

This one leaves me winded. A good story from 2025 by @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social offers insight into what we are losing: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

For example, the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social article on the Mayor Wilson budget says that Bruce Harrell first proposed using jumpstart to fund homeless services. That’s not true. Harrell used Jumpstart to generally close his $230 mill deficit (which gets no mention in the article…)

What's it called when you take someone else's reporting, use a screen shot they obtained before the person took the post down, and then fail to credit the reporter? That is called stealing someone else's work.

Credit me. Do better.
Hey, @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social you literally GOT this story from me. I broke it days ago on Bluesky and then on my own website, PubliCola. THE POST WAS DOWN BY YESTERDAY. I RAN INTO YOUR REPORTER WHO THANKED ME FOR BREAKING THIS NEWS today. Give my independent outlet credit immediately.

Another example, the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social article says that tech companies shedding jobs and Seattle’s 2010s growth slowing caused the deficit. No mention of federal COVID spending receding, federal budget cuts, tariffs, state policy. My kingdom for a little context.

“At the largest rally in Seattle, over 70,000 people flooded the streets shoulder-to-shoulder, marching en masse from Capitol Hill to Seattle Center — making it one of the largest protests in the city’s history. “

Crediting other journalists is literally free, @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social.
Like clockwork... One hour after your substack email, I get it repackaged in the Seattle Times, with no attribution. (Oddly the article literally has none; it doesn't even end the lede with "according to an email from the mayor" or something, though it seems to cite Jaime Housen on some details)

welcome to the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social' magical fantasy world, where "criminals" in stolen cars outrunning cops—not streets designed to be deadly—are the reason pedestrian deaths are up, and also the "powerful bike lobby" is responsible for road design

Why can’t a single American journalist do this?

Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s ended numerous wars — he’s now increased the number to ten! — and he’ll surely do it again.

Ask him to name the wars he says he’s won.

Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio.

Just fucking ask them & don’t let go.
“Trump ended 6 wars.”
“Name 2.”
“Russia Russia Russia… fake news….”
