The best time of Spring Training is when Seattle and San Diego play one another in a facility they share.

It's nice to imagine high speed rail in the future connecting the two teams during the season too.

Add the Vedder Cup to a list of things that would benefit from infrastructure investments.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

The Seattle Times
"There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A.
JOHNSON's account."
Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead.
That was for payments he'd received in December and January.
Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled.
He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.

I dug out some old sports trading cards I've had since I was a kid in the late '80s / early '90s and while it may not be the most valuable, I think this Shawn Kemp Seattle SuperSonics rookie card is the coolest. #Seattle #Sonics

www.kuow.org · 23hMonisha Harrell breaks silence on her uncle – and former boss – Seattle Mayor Bruce HarrellMonisha Harrell describes the mayor’s office as being a dog-eat-dog environment where white male advisors vied for power and influence. She said her experience, as a high-level woman ignored by the mayor and his lieutenants, is not unique at City Hall.

"The daily lives of many immigrants are being deeply disrupted due to uncertainty and fear."

I did get to walk home from the medical appointment which is a nice distance with some hills and got to walk down one of my favorite pedestrian stairs. At the bottom there were trees in bloom. #Seattle

View south down a short steep section of road to Jackson St. There are three trees on the left and one on the right with pink blooms. In the distance the north end of Beacon Hill is visible where the PacMed tower is aka the Ghostbusters building.

For this #GrindayFriday, something that came out just five years ago but should already be considered a classic. Seattle, Washington's CAUSTIC WOUND gave us this brutal, crushing riffy LP 'Death Posture' in 2020. They have a new one coming end of April-- they're a band to watch. Cropping the cover here, as it's a bit morbid, fair warning. Few songs are over or even reach two minutes long. I love albums that get to the point and don't give up til the end.

Cropped cover of Caustic Wound's LP 'Death Posture'. Fair warning, at the link, the image is a little morbid.

Happy Friday!

I joined GeekWire's Kurt Schlosser and Zaki Hamid of KUOW on #Seattle Now to chat about the headlines of the week, including the recent spate of Cybertruck vandalism and the use of AI-powered surveillance technology in schools. https://omny.fm/shows/seattle-now/casual-friday-with-kurt-schlosser-and-joe-veyera?in_playlist=podcast

omny.fmCasual Friday with Kurt Schlosser and Joe Veyera - Seattle NowThis week… Four Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire in a SoDo storage lot over the weekend. School districts in Washington have been using an AI detection software to monitor students’ online activity outside of school. And keep an eye on your backpacks. Bellevue police have recorded 5 coyote attacks in the last week.
