Honestly, and insanely, the best fried chicken I’ve found around Seattle is takeout from Saar’s (bargain priced on Mondays and Fridays). Used to beg for better recommendations, but now it’s too late cuz I’ve gone vegetarian.

Tried it twice, and Ezell’s is two-for-two as the blandest, most sorry-ass chicken ever.

Vampires have no reflection.

I have not yet seen names, which is peculiar. We can see a face pretty plainly, and hear a voice, but firing somebody requires a name.

Man, I would love it if Katie took the lead on that.

He’s only quitting the SPOG job. He’ll still be out there, being a bad cop five days every week.

Yeah, me too. Baseball and basketball are more about finesse than brute strength, so I’d go with the baseballers.

OK, but here’s my question: Which team would win, Seahawks or Mariners, if they played basketball?

Still watching, but this is great – THANK YOU neuracnu – and 💖 THE TRANSIT FAIRY DID THE SWEARING IN! 💖

Dude’s a weasel.

Just fuckin’ yay.

Give me someone who believes in something — Katie Wilson — not another politician who believes only in money & power.

I have to grudgingly agree. Saw lots of terrific movies there dating back 40 years, but I usually came out with a crink in my neck.

That’s solid and certainly qualifies as long-form, thanks.

This is bad news and I’m about to make a silly point that doesn’t really matter, but I don’t think Cascade PBS did any "long-form journalism published online.” Am I mistaken? They did daily news headlines, similar to the Times and KUOW, and I’ll miss that, but “long-form journalism” means magazine-length pieces, and I never saw that.

Fuck that shit. Public transit should be free.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any particular bad guy in what happened. Just another situation that might’ve been prevented if Seattle had a Mayor who cared about us little people, and that caring filtered down to the ranks.

How have I not known such a perfectly apropos word as gormless?

You sound like my wife, which is absolutely a compliment. She was an optimist, I’m a pessimist. Grew up in Seattle with only buses, so I love having Link and want it to be reliable, but it suffers a lot of unscheduled “please stand by” disruptions already, and when a second line is running on the same tracks, I’m … skeptical.

When Harrell’s done eating your ass, he can dine on mine.
