The police officer who killed Jaahnavi Kandula was rejected by the Tucson police department. I don’t know, guys. Seems like maybe not the ideal situation. Without knowing why I am a bit worried about saying they should not have accepted him. But it seems like a red flag.

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

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

– Yuck. Stay safe if you’re driving in Western Washington and don’t drive if you don’t have to.

– Not particularly optimistic about better bike infrastructure in Seattle.

– Guys, you don’t have to put advertising on everything.

It’s the first day of the Washington legislative session. I would advise you to see what bills a lobbying group whose goals you support is pushing, or a general organization like Fuse. And find a bill or two and write your legislators about it.

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