Ruining cities by trying to make them safer for everyone and occasionally advocating for housing (for all people) since 2010. (He/Him)

@developer_soup Someone is dead :/

Back after not being able to get on trains and leaving the station to take a bus to say: @SoundTransit continues to just be awful.

Awful at everything.

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

Also get accounts on other Platforms @SoundTransit so I don't have to give far-right activists money to make fun of you.

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

Doing my best to avoid Twitter, however logged in just to say @SoundTransit just is awful. Awful service. Awful passenger information. Everytime I've taken the train in months it feels like a shit show, including today.

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

@KCExec is running Metro into the ground too. Also actively trying to make Sound Transit worse.

Seattle is all fluff and no filling. Shiny trains and granite tiled stations for trains that don't work. 🙄

Not only does walking help you lose weight and keep your heart healthy, it has been shown to boost creativity. Scientists are digging deep into our ancestry to learn why walking is hard-wired into humans. https://t.co/V0NZjFHRGN #UWMag

SPOG is telegraphing that it's did an illegal labor action while denying that it did an illegal labor action.

It wants to communicate the power of its membership and intent of the clearly coordinated action without accepting the legal responsibility.

Here is 15 yo homeschooled daughter.
FIFTEEN
and their “beloved friend Josh Hunt” is 29.
TWENTY NINE.
Two years later and they announce the beautiful love story “courtship” 🙄
of their now 17 year old senior in high school daughter and her 31 year old boyfriend. #actualgroomers

@SheRidesABike @yourfriendlara Personally it works, I will say the view on a rear rack is worse than a front box because they mostly look at your back. Or left and right.

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

@SheRidesABike @yourfriendlara The HSD is too small for most adults due to a rack limitation so you'll want to look at the GSD. When riding make sure the rear passenger understands not to throw their weight around or lean away from your movements (like a motorcycle)

Watching my bus drive away as my Link train waits at a red light

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

Honestly though, inaccurate arrival times are worse then none so I am happy that @SoundTransit has seemingly shut them off as testing continues. Thank you!!

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

Sound Transit seems to have turned off real time arrivals again at University St, probably for the best given it had mostly been totally wrong for a bit now saying things 40 minutes.

Hello darkness my old friend

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

@GuyOron :(

[Robert Getch @StumpToEmerald]

This is a great article, about corruption as well on the part of our former SPD Monitor.

[Guy Oron @GuyOron]

Fantastic scoop by Glen Stellmacher in @RealChangeNews today: Documents show that senior SPD leadership and former Mayor Jenny Durkan were heavily involved in shaping the local media narrative to disrupt the #DefundSPD movement

Just reckless, doesn't even slow down before striking her
