- Tens of thousands of people are killed every year in the US by cars. Maybe 3 pedestrians a year are killed by bikes (E or otherwise)? If you drive a car and have ANY complaints about "the bike menace", you're just incredibly stupid. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- Close the gate to The Enchantments! Without sufficient rangers, every weekend more and more of this incredible place is being destroyed. Great article by @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Gregory Scruggs. www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoor...

- I was recently in Brazil visiting friends with my son. Mostly in the state of Mato Grosso near the Paraguayan boarder and in São Paulo—both in the city and on the coast. Haven't been been to Brazil for way, way too long.

- The sheer # of photos I have of Abby and the kids in a pile: eating, sleeping, reading, laughing is astounding. Happy Mother's Day!

- This week I visited two great rocks—one in LA and the other in DC.
- Reposted by Tim KeckAir pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
- Reposted by Tim KeckRep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"
- I was on a flight today & missed the protests. I'm not a giant protest person but I would've gone. Anyway, the turbulence & drops were so intense that people were screaming, a woman sitting near me was praying. After thinking about my kids I thought: "Should've stayed home and gone to the protest."

- Reposted by Tim KeckThose trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

- I asked some fucking AI program to render a short of me eating cake in the style of Studio Ghibli. I have to say it's pretty impressive.
- Late snow in the mountains is a fucking blessing.
- I will be interviewing Christine Wenc, author of The Onion book, "Funny Because it's True" May 6—Elliot Bay Books. Christine and I worked together at the Onion and were friends and roommates when the paper started. Now she's written the definitive history of the pub. She's a blast and I can't wait.
- The new Onion book, "Funny Because It's True," by @clearwing3.bsky.social is out and is getting a ton of attention! It has received great reviews by pretty much everyone. Grateful that Christine wrote so much in the book about my mom, the incredible journalist, Janet Keck. Dig the Onion? Get it.
- Jesus. Completely shameful. Our country will forever carry with it the stink of that moment. And it's only going to get worse.

- Reposted by Tim KeckThis morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
- Peak moody-Seattle last night.
- Hey, how was your hike? I really liked that part where I experienced the heat death of the universe.
- Wait, Musk's kid is Alia Atreides?
- Here's my "meet cute" romcom pitch: every election cycle at the last possible minute "Tanaka" played by Alan Alda and "Ximena" played by Sydney Sweeney drop their ballots off at the same drop-off box at the exact same time. Years go by—Tanaka played by Alan Alda dies in a memory-care unit.
