Vote you jerks. Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow (Tuesday). Please vote for the Democrat in all the races against Republicans. And there are good resources statewide if you’re still unsure. You can also probably still volunteer with your favorite candidate. Tell your friends to vote. It’s crunch time. Let’s do this.
And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

If you haven’t voted yet, you should plan to do it this weekend. Dropboxes are convenient and you can get them in the mail this weekend, you can forget about them. I mentioned it during the primary, but the new location for the Downtown Seattle dropbox is closer to Lumen Field. But wherever you go to drop off your ballot, get it finished.
And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Bivalent and flu are keeping people safe.
I’m no lawyer, but I like the Attorney General’s lawsuit to block Albertsons’ dividend payments ahead of their merger with Kroger. Wait until the deal is complete. Or just don’t be a monopoly?
Again, I want to stress that I have no legal training whatsoever. But the AG’s office under Ferguson has had a good track record.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Election season is upon us. Next Tuesday is election day, so today is a great day to fill out your ballot, drop it off in a mailbox or ballot drop box, and then swing by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally. We’ll be discussing politics of all types over drinks.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio. The cold weather may entice some folks to stay in the back room of the pub as well.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
Good morning to the Weyerhaeuser workers whose strike just ended. It looks like a mixed bag in terms of gains, but hopefully the fixed costs instead of percentages will be meaningfully better health care.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And you better get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Geez. I am a bit wary of ascribing motives to people ahead of actually knowing. And random events do happen, so grain of salt here.
But it seems like the most likely explanation of someone attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their home is related to her politics. Awful awful stuff. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Get the bivalent, it’s great.
I would prefer actual facts to random speculation. But with Joe Kent and his campaign refusing to give any actual information about his previous employer, bad speculation is going to replace it. So, he probably wasn’t in the CIA. He maybe was given a bullshit make work job, or was just lying. I wish we had better information.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Hey…it’s the Tuesday after ballots dropped (in King County, anyway). Stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally and we can discuss it.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio. The cold weather may entice some folks to stay in the back room of the pub as well.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
I don’t know the law well enough to guess how the judge will rule on allowing the Seattle Police Department to be added as a defendant in a sex trafficking case. But damn. There should be mechanisms to hold SPD accountable, even if a lawsuit isn’t it.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

A little drizzle and wind, and you can breathe again in Downtown Seattle. It’s maybe a bit hazy, but it’s nice. Greater rain will get the rest of it.
Going forward, we’ll have to figure out how to not make this a yearly thing. Better forestry practices and fixing — or realisticly preventing the worst of — global warming are obviously priorities. Also, maybe building code updates so less smoke gets inside.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Seriously, the bivalent booster is a miracle.
Ballots are being mailed out today. It’s getting close. Are you excited?! Wooooooo, ballots. You should get them this week or early next.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Bivalent booster, baby!
Neither snow nor rain nor cold nor gloom of smoky nights stays these liberals from the swift consumption of their fermented rounds….or from rounds of vigorous discussion. That’s right, the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight! Stop by if you fancy.
