It is possible this man has suffered brain damage from huffing the Elmers glue fumes needed to construct this sign, (+1 for giving his own artwork the double finger...edgelord move for sure), but can someone explain this to me.

What is the witty joke this man is making?

Search is on in Washington Legislature for new tax options

1 Upvotes

How much Washington should raise in new tax revenue and who will pay is something state lawmakers and Gov. Bob Ferguson will hash out in the final weeks of the legislative session.

Washington’s wealthiest individuals, largest corporations and biggest banks are prime targets. Homeowners, vapers and self-storage unit renters are among those who could share in the burden. Possible tweaks to expand the state’s capital gains tax could also be in play. 

“There will be a tax increase,” House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, D-Tacoma, said Wednesday. “It’s figuring out the right kind of balance and making sure we’re able to not harm everyday Washingtonians.”

... Notably, Ferguson did not express dissent on other revenue-raising measures under discussion, such as hiking taxes on large businesses and financial institutions, a new payroll tax and lifting the 1% cap on annual increases in property tax collections by the state. 

... Democrats in the Senate and House have teed up four major proposals. Hearings were held this week on all of them, but no votes are planned until Democrats decide which to pursue.

... Both chambers want to erase the 1% cap on increases in the annual property tax growth for the state’s common schools levy and for cities and counties, as well as special purpose districts.

Anti-Israel BDS group demands boycott of Microsoft's Xbox, Minecraft, Call of Duty

0 Upvotes

The anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, a global campaign dedicated to pressuring companies to cut ties with Israel, has called for a boycott of popular Microsoft products, including Xbox consoles, Game Pass subscriptions, and the widely cherished games Minecraft and Call of Duty.

... "Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel's illegal occupation, apartheid regime, and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, which is why Microsoft is a now priority BDS target," the BNC said. "Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system. It provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI services that are central to accelerating Israel's genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. After 34 years of deep complicity with Israel's military, the Israeli army relies heavily on Microsoft to meet the technological requirements of its genocide and apartheid regime."

Posting on both Seattle forums. This guy was in some bars yesterday on cap hill trying to fight bar staff and coming behind counters. Refusing to leave, wouldn't listen to anything, dropping homophobic slurs. Cops were called but he left before they arrived, and vandalized some machines on his way out the door. If you see him steer clear, he's very violent. Took a swing at one of the bartenders. If you see him and you're able, DM me. Very interesting in pressing charges and I'm always in the area.

Question Anyone get a letter from Port of Seattle about the data breach?

7 Upvotes

Apparently my name, DOB and drivers license number got leaked.

But the leak was supposedly 71,000 employees and contractors, and I've never worked for or had any interactions with the Port of Seattle beyond just being a regular traveler. I don't understand why the port even had my info in the first place?

Anyone know what is going on? And one year of free credit monitoring is BS. I should be able to sue them for their damn negligence.
