#Seattle #transit folks, this is your time to shine! Seattle is looking for #volunteers to sit on #bicycle, #pedestrian, and #transit boards to help provide voice for each area in the city, and they're taking applications!

Remember if one of us doesn't do it, some #NIMBY person will!

#Seattle folks! If you're in the #EdmondsWA area they are asking for feedback for their #urban plan! They're doing what we want, more medium housing, more transit, more walking and biking. But NIMBY-ers are quickly filling in the comments and calls, literally with phrases like "anti cars" and saying they need MORE parking lots, less housing. PLEASE boost and share with your other friends, let's encourage #cycling and #transit https://edmonds2044.infocommunity.org/

(Especially calling out @finn ...)

It's time folks, many of you haven't used your #glassdoor account in a while, it's time to delete it. They're populating your real name behind your back and adding it to your old reviews. #actnow #enshittification

For #Seattle folks who aren't sure what to do with your batteries - I can't recommend Ridwell enough. Not only do they recycle batteries, but plastic film, styrofoam, bread tags, bottle caps, clothing/fabric, and so so so much more. Check them out!

WebMD’s parent company, Internet Brands, released a cringey and abusive internal video threatening their employees to #returnToOffice. “We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point”, the CEO says. “Don’t mess with us”, the video reads at the end. The video features employees dancing and celebrating RTO (at gunpoint? or at least under threat of firing by HR?).

I know corporate videos are all kinda crappy, but this one is…spouse-beating levels of terrible.

“Former county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses in #Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That’s in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan County clerk should pay the couple who sued.” #LGBTQ #legal

I am setting up Windows on a spare computer, and OMG EVERYTHING IS GEARED TOWARD COLLECTING AND TRACKING YOUR DATA.

Everything.

The OS wants to track my browsing, my geo-location, my telemetry data. Everything.

No. Absolutely The F*ck No.
