It’s hard to love the @KIRO7Seattle website. Today’s broadcast promoted their ferry links. They don’t work.

@BenSlivka @BrandiKruse @elonmusk I beg to differ.

[Jeff @jeffpar]

@sdf_pubnix Haha, yeah, that is very far removed. 😉

@NRA I guess old @NRA slogans like "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" need to be updated. For example, "Guns don't kill people, political rhetoric kills people"; or "Guns don't kill people, easily triggered border patrol agents who like to play Call of Duty kill people".

@trenthub Good question. The Supreme Court usually defers to the President's determination of "emergency", but they need to stop doing that, because the power to declare anything an emergency makes any "emergency" requirement completely useless and hands him unlimited power.

@davepl1968 It helps to eat a donut while staring. Actually, it just helps to eat a donut.

@virtuallyfun @GrampsToolshed That was the premise of a Black Mirror episode -- depressingly realistic. https://t.co/5sc0fhSCYp

@ansonmount This administration (esp Pete and Kristi) has taken propaganda to a whole new level. Thanks for engaging despite all the “stay in your lane” flak you know you’ll get, because free speech is all about more conversation (not less) and respectful disagreement (not personal attacks)

It’s interesting how some people can see defects like the Woke Mind Virus, Trump Derangement Syndrome, and all kinds of blindspots in other people, but can't detect any blindspots of their own. It must be nice to have a perfect understanding of the universe (or to think you do).

While it's great that Visual Studio @Code Chat supports Claude Sonnet 4.5 now, what I'm REALLY looking forward to is Clem Kadiddlehopper 2.0.

[Jeff @jeffpar]

@davepl1968 Yeah, hard to believe Fracture is already 18 years old. Can't quite tell what the other movie is though. Probably something else from 2007--perhaps Alvin and the Chipmunks. ;-)

@virtuallyfun Ridiculous. I’m not familiar with ISP level age verification but how does that even make sense? People in the same household with wildly different ages generally use the same IP address. This is just going to drive up VPN usage (and rightly so).

[Jeff @jeffpar]

@WeAreSinclair Sinclair misunderstands free speech principles. The way to respond to speech you disagree with is MORE speech, not less. Explain your position with words, not with censorship. When you hold a monopoly in a media market, your responsibilities must be balanced with your rights.

@SteveTVNews @komonews Too bad we couldn’t actually watch it on KOMO. It’s surprising how easily free speech and our ability to choose the programs we want to watch fall victim to politics and intimidation. The FCC should revoke your license for dictating what ABC content the Seattle public may view.
