Another weekend another shooting in America. This time Chabad of Poway. It is another damn shame. Another toxic mix of hate and guns.
Fuck. It’s all so depressing. Talk to your kids if they’re espousing this kind of hate.

CPB in Spokane acting scuzzy has caught up with them. I hope that Mr. Elshieky gets all of the money and that there are real reforms. Also, even if the fuckery were justified (it’s not) the bus ride from Spokane to Portland isn’t exactly the hot route for international smugglers.

Matt Shea is such a garbage person. At a certain point, there have to be the barest of consequences for all of the fuckery. I would hope that there is enough decency in the Republican Party to show him some serious consequences. But the truth is that the rot is the party. They have become the party that redefined the Second Amendment and elevated Donald Trump. Of course they don’t care about genocide manifestos or targeting professors and protesters.

Hey y’all, it’s that time again. Time for some spring cleaning? Yes, but I was also thinking of the Northwest Progressive Institute spring funding gala. It looks like a pretty good lineup as usual.

President Trump sure did a lot of things that look like crimes. I mean asking people to commit crimes on your behalf is pretty crimish. Don’t have people crime for you, everyone.

This is a week or so old, but I had not heard about it before. Some kid who seems disturbed is scary as hell. Also, he swims in a pervasive antisemitism. I don’t know how we deal with it, but letting him have guns seems like a bad idea.

Important Thunderpussy news!
Now that I have your attention, it’s trademark news. It seems like a different category than FUCT to me, but I am no trademark staffer or attorney.
And kudos to KUOW for actually saying Thunderpussy on my morning radio.

I appreciate that a police tower may be necessary in some cases, seeing the picture is a lot. I mean how do you insure that you are just intimidating criminals and not the public more broadly, especially in communities of color? That said the article says that the towers go to sports stadiums, so I have presumably seen them in the wild and not noticed them.

OK, you’re still out there, but why, man?
We all know it’s just lie, lie, lie, man.
It might sound appealing,
But you can’t go self dealing!
Here’s hoping the court says “goodbye, man.”

We should have comprehensive sex ed
In all of Washington, but instead
The Senate committee
Is acting so shitty,
The bill this year is now sadly dead.

This is really the opposite of what I want from bicycle infrastructure. Both as a bicyclist and a city driver. Seattle is very hilly, so we can use the help.

KOMO is garbage. They should be ashamed of themselves. Just completely irresponsible. Honestly, if it wasn’t obviously orders from the top, I would expect someone to be fired. And imagine having no comment? An apology and a correction at a minimum are in order. And fast. They maligned Mr. Champagne. They misinformed their viewers. And they did it on the public airwaves. Shame shame shame.

Maybe more bike lanes instead of not. I don’t know, people who drive in the city more than me, do you like sharing a lane with more bicyclists? It seems better for both to have them separate where possible.
