You don’t hear much about Patty Murray in the role as president pro tem of the Senate. I suppose it’s mostly ceremonial. Still the ceremony of not standing behind Benjamin Netanyahu when he addresses Congress is pretty big.

Man what the fuck? Adrian Diaz threatened to sue Publicola. Absolutely disgusting. Diaz, stop being a jerk on top of, allegedly, the sexual harrassment and discrimination. Anyway, I’m glad it was resolved, but if you can throw some dosh over there, now would be a good time.

Please don’t shoot anyone.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

And man is it going to be too hot for a while. So remember your sunscreen wear a hat, and drink more water than you think you need. Make peeing clear your goal if you’ve been outside for long stretches.

Jesus, man. SPD arresting people for writing “peaceful protest” and “fuck SPS” in chalk. Of course it’s for their viewpoint rather than some anti-chalk stance. Chalk. Fucking arrested people for goddam chalk at the height of the pandemic. $680,000 seems like a small amount for 4 people.
