I'm just out here havin' a good one

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

Do you not like me? Is it because of my Tweets?

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

@grok @grok can you make me reservations at Casa Bonita for today at 5pm?

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

@grok do dolphins have noses?

@rocks_lab @MelancholyYuga Moses getting to see the promised land, knowing he'll never make it there, and how to come to terms with that... fucking banger of a story. There's nothing in Christianity I revisit as often as that story.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

@rocks_lab @MelancholyYuga As I've gotten older and softened my stance towards religion, I've been surprised at how little value I've been able to pull from Christianity, even from a storytelling perspective. There are useful perspectives scattered across religions, but man, Christianity is kinda thin.

@kurtlash1 @AnthonyMKreis You're not sure how the question of "who won the 2020 election?" relates to the issue of a lawyer being disbarred for making spurious legal arguments about who won the 2020 election?

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

That said, coming back here does make me miss all my old friends that used to live in this part of my phone.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

Posting cringe over here because it's apparently a deep-seated need of mine, but I'm crushing it over on another short text based social media platform. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

@Fraccagnetta This is wild. I want to be in the replies for posterity.

@mattyglesias Seattle had the fastest growing economy of any major city last year, along with some of the fastest population growth. Seattle's willingness to build, and the resulting economic dividends, is the best evidence for the "Housing Theory of Everything".

@SeattleSDCI Seattle is an architectural backwater. Design review stifles architectural creativity and severely slows housing production. It hurts every citizen for negative gains. Get rid of it.

@mosheroperandi I'm deleting my Twitter account on Monday. In the event the election is undecided on Tuesday or Trump wins, Twitter becomes a massive info hazard.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris https://t.co/3cl70RKxrs

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

If you've still got a Twitter, you should think about deleting it before Tuesday. If Trump wins or contests it, Twitter immediately becomes a huge info hazard.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

Everyone should probably delete Twitter on Monday. It's a decent protest, but more importantly if Trump wins or congests it, this place immediately becomes a huge info hazard.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

I think Friday is the day we all have a collective meltdown when we realize the election is in 84 hours. Good news is I think we shake it off by Monday.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

@PatrickSchuess1 @the_transit_guy I don't think most urbanists would argue against using waterfronts for ports, where appropriate. It's totally plausible for a port to be a comparatively better use of land than a park. The problem with waterfront highways is that they're always a worse use than anything else.

@ftw_cool @spokanerising Nice to see Spokane dunking on Portland instead of Seattle for a change

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

Not to say that "came in the fluffer" isn't really funny, but you can tell when someone is being cruel with it vs poking fun at the absurdity.

[trashedcoast @trashedcoast]

I've seen people closer to my political/aesthetics in-group who I really respect be genuinely mean to Aella. It sucks and reflects badly on my educated center-left cohort. Aella is good actually.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

i have a general rule to not insult, degrade, call evil, etc., any individual publicly. It feels like unnecessary cruelty, or a lack of compassion, of decency. This rule feels so obvious and basic to me, some innocent part of me is surprised and confused when others fail it
