Good morning to everyone except Reagan Dunn. Man. While the rest of King County is helping people come here to get abortions, in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade. It’s a good thing to do. I hope that the county, and other municipal governments find more ways to act.

I am still reading this opinion (.pdf). But this thread about it is a good summary. The Washington State Supreme Court found that you can’t rant about illegal immigrants and building a wall as part of jury selection. It was just horror after horror done to this man to send him to court at all is vile. To also have jury selection go like that. Fuck, man. Fuck.

I don’t know, man. I’ve had several years to process Amazon using drones for delivery, and whatever. The big question is how will the company make the drones pee into a bottle like they do with human drivers, and what happens if you’re under it?

Good morning. I hope you have been enjoying the sun. Don’t forget your sunscreen. And don’t forget to drink more water than you think you need. Seriously, a big ‘ol jug of ice water. Just down it. I want you going to the restroom a lot, like until you pee clear.
And for goodness sake, with all that going on, please wash your hands. And hey get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Oh hey. Seattle Pride is back. Parades are fun. Leather daddys and Bank of America marching through the city. Glad it’s back, and everyone stay safe.

Children under 5 can get vaccinated for COVID-19. Great news for parents and for society writ large. KUOW’s story about it has good information on where to find places to vaccinate your children in Seattle and Washington state.
And for every age, please get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Good morning. Has anyone else had issues with the WA Notify app? I have been working from home since it alerted me of a close contact the other day. Glad to be able to slow the spread (even though I have been testing negative). But now the date of the exposure isn’t showing up, even though it hasn’t been 14 days.

Good morning. Can you tell that I don’t have anything prepared today? You can? Because I’m mindlessly waffling along here? Yes. Yes. That checks out. Waffle. Waffle. Waffle.

What? Starbucks, fucking what? This anti-union bullshit. Oh the First and Pike store can’t be unionized it has a different paint scheme and is in walking distance to the original, so union rules don’t apply? Fucking ridiculous. Absolute trash.
Anyway,please wash your hands right this moment. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Mayor Bruce Harrell is upset about the natural consequences of his policy. Jesus Christ almighty. I have had many problems with SPD and surely will continue to. But this is a consequence of moving police to harassing more homeless people.
If you want to (wrongly in my opinion) blame the defund movement or whatever for saying it’s choice between investing adult rape and attacking homeless people, I guess go for it. But ultimately the administration is responsible for making the choice.

Man oh man. What the heck is Reagan Dunn doing (first point)? Other than trying to build political capital on the possibility of harassing homeless people. When he’s anti abortion, it’s because he’s a Christian, but he can’t frickin’ even try compassion for the least among us. This deranged poop-heel.
