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?
