@stevesi Why so pessimistic? I'm based on Capitol Hill; I use the Link several times a month. Seems like I'm never on the platform for more than 3 or 4 minutes before a train arrives nowadays.
If pressed to name a real annoyance, I'd have to say elevators and escalators going offline?
@GadSaad Oh no, it's freedom of religion. Clutch your Islamophobic pearls a little harder, why don't you?
Memo to the bot brigade: prepare to be blocked.
@tshields@jamesjyu I caught that same whiff. And @GreatDismal* forgive me for finding this more than a touch derivative of his work too.

@stevesi Post-protest reality check: did last night's protest turn violent? Did the city leadership instruct Seattle PD to stand aside while protesters ran amok?
Not as far as I can tell. Did you see anything untowards?
@stevesi Come on, man. "Rather than protect residents and property?" Where in that notice does the city say it will not be protecting residents and property?

Are we living in Bizarroworld now? Istg by this time next week you'll be clamoring for affordable health care.
@mjwtxcalnyc@Hotshot_Movie TX externalizes a huge chunk of its tax base via severance taxes on fossil resource extraction.
CA doesn't.
Is this fact, like... news to you?
@octal Ah, Texas! Freest State in the Union! Where you have to upload your driver's license to look at porn, can't buy weed, and the AG will prosecute you if you help someone cross state lines for an abortion. Also no public land and HOAs are the fourth branch of government.
@octal And having seen the replies to my comment, let me just add, man, if I had the followers you do, I would ask myself some hard questions about my online footprint.
@Shawn2526@KlasfeldReports huh that's weird it's almost like the government hasn't got the goods to call his ass criminal. take a seat and see how it shakes out, chief.
