Amazing

This guy's chickens kept getting targeted by hawks, so he started feeding local crows. Now he has an army of crows that patrols his property and chases the hawks away.

We gotta stop giving the No Bedtime Caucus oxygen and instead put them in Time Out.

Max dropped pound puppy on the bike ride home from the rail yard today. We rode all the way back but didn’t see him.

Max: Maybe pound puppy riding Sounder Train. Around the block
Me: 🥺
Max: Maybe pound puppy taking light rail home
Me: 😭

But just our luck in the ID!

it's hard for me to identify masculine virtues that i don't think are just general virtues, such as courage, integrity, and temperance. manosphere virtues seem to revolve around physical strength, money, and sex. these are rooted in narcissism, which is not a virtue

During the recent kerfuffle over whether people should be socially shamed for wearing pajamas at Costco, someone on here suggested that I was supporting the decline of social standards because I think it's perfectly fine to wear whatever you want to a giant warehouse that sells $1.50 hot dogs.

The idea that dress was better in the past is treated as such an obvious truth that few people question it, even those who share my preference for contemporary life. But I would pose another view: although the emergence of fast fashion is certainly bad, and there's a terrible environmental cost from the waste now caused by the fashion industry, dress is better today than in the past.

Just look at these photos recently posted by Scott Schuman, the photographer behind the famous fashion site The Sartorialist. These images are from his recent trip to Paris. Scott often posts themed sets like this — images of stylish people in Milan, Hong Kong, New York City, and so forth.

I disagree with the idea of dress respectability on moral grounds. You should treat everyone with respect, regardless of what they're wearing. But as a matter of aesthetics, it's good that society has eased some of the Victorian handwringing around what people wear in public.

Look at the diversity of aesthetics showcased here, from just one recent trip to Paris (and notably, only focused on menswear, not even getting into womenswear). On first glance, there are some themes here that could describe the fashion Robert Frank captured in his book The Americans, shot just after the Second World War. Here we see men wearing military-inspired clothing (e.g., bombers and trenches) and tailoring (e.g., houndstooth tweed and a boldly checked raglan overcoat).

But we also see fashions that prob wouldn't have made it onto the streets in 1950, such as the patchwork boro jacket or the double-breasted with unusual pattern and button placement (look at that button-and-cloth corsage!).

It's unimaginable today, but in the first half of the 20th century, a man could be sent home from work for wearing the wrong color shirt. For white-collar professionals, even in cosmopolitan cities, the standard office uniform consisted of a dark worsted suit worn with a white-collared shirt, a dark silk tie, and a pair of dark leather shoes. The phrase "no brown in town" refers to the British cultural practice of only wearing black leather shoes in certain professions when doing business in London. Brown was the countryside. If you flouted these rules, people would whisper behind your back about how you're a bad person (e.g., dumb, uncultured, rude, etc).

That social system seems terribly toxic to me. But even as a matter of aesthetics, how great is it that the second man in the second slide can show up at many offices today wearing a brown houndstooth tweed jacket with a jaunty little neckerchief?

The world is aesthetically better today than it was 100 years ago. Yes, there are lots of people who are badly dressed. This is fine, as not everyone cares about aesthetics. But if you do care about aesthetics, you enjoy greater freedom today and thus can express yourself through a wider range of aesthetics. If you let people wear pajamas to Costco, you can wear any of the outfits below and more.

And if you open your mind to other aesthetics, I think you will find that many people on the street today are stylish, even if they're wearing something that you would not personally wear yourself.

Had a good time today at the new Judkins light rail despite not actually riding any light rail!

[Logan Bowers 🏗️ 🏘️ @loganb]

Wildly underestimated the enthusiasm for the light rail today. Line is like 3/4 of a mile long!

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I'm in favor of letting people wear what they want and not taking photos of strangers in public to post on the internet for chiding. That's the real social faux pas, not wearing pajamas at Costco. Menswear for me is just an aesthetic hobby, not a moral system or obligation.

I don’t frequently agree Erica, but she makes a good point this week about how absurd Oly’s treatment of the income tax is, and correctly points out it should be a broad tax that offsets a sales tax cut. Otherwise all that kvetching about our regressive tax structure is just bs.

[Sandeep Kaushik @skaushik100]

If you’re paying any attention at all - and unfortunately a lot of people aren’t - you know that Seattle Public Schools is beset by serious challenges, many (imo) of their own making.

Dunno about you, but I find it very troubling. Seattle is the most educated blue city in America, and one of the most affluent. So why are our schools in such trouble, and what can be done to fix what ails them?

I’ll be talking about all that with our new SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner tonight (Tuesday) at the Block Table. It’s free and open to the public at the Rabbit Box at Pike Place Market. Our convo starts at 5:30, but if you’re going to attend come early and have a pre-funk HH cocktail to support the venue.

The denigration of hard (and smart) work is a real problem in contemporary society.

[Jerina Pillert (she/her) @Jerinap]

Maximus was just telling me that his dad (@loganb) is a train and I’m a train and he’s a train. When I asked him if he was a baby train or a caboose he said “I’m an engine.” 😳😍😘 🚂🚊🚞🛤️🚟🚇🚃🚅🚄🚆🚉

This is an important point, ICE isn't the police, and we don't rely on them to catch violent criminals and maintain public order. Their job is enforcing paperwork crimes.

[Jerina Pillert (she/her) @Jerinap]

Unhappy with the relatively low amount of chaos he generated in 2025, Maxi woke up resolving to do more mischief in the new year 🤣😍😋

Here’s to more puddles, more model train crashes, and more cookies in 2026! Happy New Year! 🎊

As someone who would love to advocate for more dense, urban living, it drives me up a wall when leftists say that accepting antisocial behavior and lawlessness is just part and parcel of the urban experience. Good luck convincing people to be urbanists if this is your stance.

[bob's burgers urbanist 🐿️ @yhdistyminen]

It's very telling that every response to this question is some combination of:
1. YIMBYism won't do enough on its own
2. Libertarians like YIMBYism
3. Some developers might make money, which is bad

No insight or analysis, just thought-terminating clichés
