A tweet from April 8, 2015 by Micah Blake McCurdy (@IneffectiveMath) that reads "Any nhl team could hire me for a million bucks a year; I would do nothing but say 'don't do that' five times a year, and I'd be worth it."

A photo of Lake Washington boulevard. Green trees line the road with blue, partly cloudy skies overhead as bicyclists, walkers, and then Lake Washington itself can be seen in the distance. Overlaid is the text describing a Strava activity, saying that the poster ran an 8:44 minute mile pace for 11.18 miles, for a time of 1 hour and 37 minutes.

A reddit commenter saying "He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He might not even be self-made, but he did come from a lower income household, in a poor neighborhood in Seattle. Our current mayor represents who? Shes a nepo baby that was supported financially well into adulthood and even then didnt accomplish much with her opportunities."

A screenshot of an oped in the South Seattle Emerald. A text snippet, it reads:

So when someone argues that closing Lake Washington Boulevard hurts communities of color, they have the analysis exactly backwards. The closure is not the barrier, the cars are. A flat, continuous, scenic three-mile corridor along the water, free of speeding traffic, is precisely the kind of resource that Southeast Seattle residents deserve and have too rarely had. Ask organizations like Bike Works, Black Girls Do Bike, and NorthStar Cycling who's actually using Lake Washington Boulevard when the cars are gone. When cars are absent, the people using this road are not a monochrome catalog of Lycra and lattes — they are this community, in all its variety. Then go look at photos of the people who were protesting the closure this weekend. Let's just say it was the crowd you might expect at The Andy Griffith Show trivia night.

A screenshot from an article in the South Seattle Emerald. The highlighted text reads, "After all, this is the very same city that allows the bacchanal of wastefulness, debauchery, and noise and jet fuel pollution called Seafair to be held right in our front yard every year. Question for the Great White North: Have you ever had your street blocked off for a week and been forced to show ID at checkpoints just to return home? I have, not in North Korea but in South Seattle during Seafair."

And in just a few months, our country will be celebrating a huge milestone," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy. "So, we figured this was the perfect time to celebrate our independence and our freedom by giving our customers the choice to either not pay interest or not pay taxes. After all, our country was founded on these principles 250 years ago." The last two lines are highlighted.

A barplot. The title of the barplot is "Models often report what they expect to see, not what's plotted" with the subtitle "With well-known datasets like mtcars". The Y-axis labels three well known LLMs, "GPT-5", "Gemini Pro 2.5", and "Claude Sonnet 4.5". The X-axis shows the percentage of plots each LLM correctly described. Each LLM scores less than 10% of plots described correctly.

Another tweet from We Heart Seattle that reads "A clean city is a safe city. @MayorofSeattle our 50,000 hours of clocked volunteer hours would like a key to the city. These voters cleaned Seattle. We like to vote for leaders in allignment with our mission. We are on track to clean 2,000,000 lbs servicing every zip code in Seattle by end of year going into our 5th year. We are privately funded. @weheartfounder @WeHeartDirector". A photo of a bunch of we heart Seattle volunteers is attached.

Another tweet by We Heart Seattle that reads "Harrell chased the progressive voter instead of:
1: Openly apologizing to and loving Christians
2: Condemning masked militants in Seattle destroying property
3: Ban camping on sidewalks and parks
4: Give the symbolic key to the city for all the volunteers who helped him look good

Why didn’t he? Because his cabinet told him christian’s and do-gooding volunteers are MAGA and Racist."

The tweet is quoting right-wing hoaxer Jonathan Choe, reporting on the results of the Seattle mayoral election

A tweet from "We Heart Seattle". it reads "I begged @MayorofSeattle to give not just @weheartfounder @WeHeartDirector but any and all volunteer groups that birthed during the pandemic the symbolic key to the city. Thousands of people galvanized and cleaned Seattle. All we wanted was the 🔑. We wanted to be seen and heard and would have marched to the ballot box. His advisors said “no”. This gesture would have guaranteed a win." The tweet is quoting a tweet from Ari Hoffman that claims that "Katie Wilson didn't win an election, Bruce Harrell lost one"
