@depressionlesss It’s called chattering

@BirdmanofAZ Nice win! Hawks also won with six field goals last year against Indy (and Phillip Rivers). Was cheering for you guys today!

@Bellagiotime My boss had one in 1975. Cosworth Vega.

@Bellagiotime At first I thought it was a Mustang with those tail lights.

@GaryKaltbaum Excellent!

Glen Campbell 🎩🪄 Wichita Lineman (2001) South Dakota!

One of the most underrated guitar players of his time, Glen’s incredible talent is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

A legendary guitarist, a remarkable voice, and a timeless classic! 🎶👏

@NatUW_Hawks Darnold looks lost. Flailing around.

Apple should have made a car.

They've run out of form factors to shove iOS onto. I've got a watch, phone, and a laptop. Most of my family has the same, plus some iPads. All of these things are typically within 20 feet of you at home, and can do everything this device can do.

@JLWCPA2 That’s a great angle! Both bridges. Both cities.

@chrisdigiusto His bicep knocked it out

@MikeDugar Oh geez Kupp was open early in the middle of the field.

@LizClaman I thought it was skeerd.

So now Seattle is in second-to-last place in VC deals.

It's an improvement, I guess. 😂😂😂

I used to have tons of haters defending the @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson and @WAStateGov Bob Ferguson and their damaging policies in the replies. But in a few short months, their defenders are 100% gone.

All of them. Not a peep.

The data is so obviously bad that there is no way to pretend their socialist policies work. They don't.

Jobs and companies keep fleeing the state. Every 5th house on Mercer Island is for sale. The rich can't leave fast enough. Property values are down 10% to 20% or more if you own a condo in the Interbay. Ouch, sorry.

Like I said last time, I don't want to be right about this stuff. But anyway, we had a great summer, comrades, didn't we?

Bay Area: 766
NYC: 478
Los Angeles: 230
Philadelphia: 205
Boston: 188
Miami: 118
Washington, DC: 114
Austin: 107
Seattle: 97 🫤
Denver: 76

Congrats to Emerald City.

Seattle is now in last place among VC-backed startups in Q1 2026 in terms of deal count. And in seventh place in terms of deal value.

So when people here tell you that the dumb taxes, the stupid socialism, and the BS anti-data-center and anti-AI policies aren't having an impact, you can show them this chart and tell them to STFU.

Look, it's not like I want to be right about this stuff. But anyway, enjoy the beautiful Seattle summer, comrades.

@keithpricetrut1 He’s hoping for more third-party dollars to buy out his contract.

[Jim Allmendinger @JAllmendinger1]

@tomrollman I would have gone for two, FYI

[Jim Allmendinger @JAllmendinger1]

@scottwsu81 I figured his experience at Boise State and Missouri was pretty good. Add in the family football heritage and local connection and it’s a good story. What other coaches would you rather have?

[Jim Allmendinger @JAllmendinger1]

@icod Hi Bruno looking good all splayed out! Happy Caturday!
