Seattle@lemmy.world•The Office of Public Lecture presents: An Evening with Hasan PikerEnglish
3·3 months agoAlready cancelled by UW.
Didn’t know there was still a scent of it anywhere, but when I was a kid (50+ years ago) Tacoma indeed flat-out stank. Even driving through, you’d roll up your windows and close the vents, and it was all over Tacoma, not just in some tiny enclaves of stink.

Seattle@lemmy.world•'A dream 42 years in the making': Ezell's Famous Chicken owner eyes nationwide franchiseEnglish
2·6 months agoHonestly, 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.

Seattle@lemmy.world•'A dream 42 years in the making': Ezell's Famous Chicken owner eyes nationwide franchiseEnglish
2·6 months agoTried it twice, and Ezell’s is two-for-two as the blandest, most sorry-ass chicken ever.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Ex-Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell says his loss didn’t cause reflection, or at least won’t show itEnglish
6·9 months agoVampires have no reflection.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seattle Police rallied with ‘here to fuck people up’ speech before crackdown on demonstratorsEnglish
4·10 months agoI 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.

6·10 months agoMan, I would love it if Katie took the lead on that.

Seattle@lemmy.world•SPD Chief sent email overstating new drug diversion policy, sparking false narrative in right-wing mediaEnglish
3·10 months agoHe’s only quitting the SPOG job. He’ll still be out there, being a bad cop five days every week.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seahawks win NFC West, earn NFC’s top seed in playoffs after handling 49ersEnglish
2·10 months agoYeah, me too. Baseball and basketball are more about finesse than brute strength, so I’d go with the baseballers.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seahawks win NFC West, earn NFC’s top seed in playoffs after handling 49ersEnglish
7·10 months agoOK, but here’s my question: Which team would win, Seahawks or Mariners, if they played basketball?

Seattle@lemmy.world•Mayor Wilson swearing-in ceremonyEnglish
4·10 months agoStill watching, but this is great – THANK YOU neuracnu – and 💖 THE TRANSIT FAIRY DID THE SWEARING IN! 💖

Seattle@lemmy.world•Katie Wilson Is Seattle’s Next MayorEnglish
4·1 year agoJust fuckin’ yay.
Give me someone who believes in something — Katie Wilson — not another politician who believes only in money & power.

Seattle@lemmy.world•SIFF won't re-open Egyptian TheaterEnglish
1·1 year agoI 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.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Cascade PBS Lays Off News Staff, Citing Federal CutsEnglish
1·1 year agoThat’s solid and certainly qualifies as long-form, thanks.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Cascade PBS Lays Off News Staff, Citing Federal CutsEnglish
2·1 year agoThis 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.

11·1 year agoFuck that shit. Public transit should be free.

Seattle@lemmy.world•Seattle permitted a car commercial shoot in the middle of Bicycle Weekends and an accessible cycling eventEnglish
5·1 year agoYeah, 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.


















Fire and prosecute the management, and bring in people who give a damn about homelessness.
