Texts create a strange illusion of privacy—that what we say among friends will stay among friends, never to be reshared, screenshotted, or repeated.02 Oct 2026 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwvtose6w22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mwqregbshs2gTerrifying. 😬 A timeline of the Cornell University Rape Investigation.

Next up: upzone the area for more housing, businesses, and neighbors. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/pinehurst-light-rail-station-opens-in-north-seattle/30 Sep 2026 15:59 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwqpltk4a22thttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mwqogrgxrk2vCheering Bellevue’s success, but the “Bellevue is eating Seattle’s lunch” narrative is overplayed. It’s less Bellevue beating Seattle & more the region developing a 2nd major employment center, giving companies another way to tap into the same PNW talent pool. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-still-bellevues-top-employer-but-workforce-growth-slowed-last-year30 Sep 2026 15:39 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwqogrgxrk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mwjiysrksk2nGreat deep dive on Pinehurst Station and the tension between building transit and allowing the housing needed for those investments to thrive. Pinehurst is a long-term bet that Seattle will make better land use decisions. Now, it's up to Seattleites to turn that vision into a reality. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/seattles-newest-light-rail-station-dont-expect-much-yet27 Sep 2026 19:13 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwjiysrksk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mwerb4oi7c2hSeattle is getting wet and windy, with heavy rain this week.

Our media environment rewards jumping into a story at peak controversy, forming an opinion, and moving on before the reporting is finished. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ed-sheeran-philadelphia-concert-macklemore-israel-palestinians-rcna598354 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ed-sheeran-philadelphia-concert-macklemore-israel-palestinians-rcna598354?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwdGRleAUcG2JwZG9mBWZkaWQWUOzsie8ov-d1w4RnPWJVxiuDcnyhvWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR4vMgMKY5dmME_4DH2Psmj454o3lsmm-tLNWzOCp2bVF-yCIUnHhGrapteBeg_aem_xLTjQj9vDfutsGMsxwVqOw20 Sep 2026 02:00 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvw3yyvwp22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mvrddnwb422zSunset off Bellevue Ave. Good night to catch the Olympics lit up in Seattle.18 Sep 2026 04:27 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvrddnwb422zhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mvqhzsqq222ySlow news > hot takes. More reporting makes the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran story far more complicated than the first headlines suggested. Seems Sheeran did a friend a big favor by bringing him on tour—and that favor may have carried a much higher cost than he imagined. Details matter. https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/music/the-40-minute-phone-call-that-left-ed-sheerans-tour-hanging-by-a-thread-99e0798417 Sep 2026 20:19 +0000at://did:plc:ewfppx75cyi73kyvxvmna3vg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvqhzsqq222yhttps://bsky.app/profile/joshholland.bsky.social/post/3mvllbgrwwk2zArtists are putting their own money and fame on the line after the Macklemore news.
