Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 6/17/22, 7:20 am

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.

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

Monday Open Thread

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.

Wednesday Open Thread?

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 6/1/22, 7:53 am

I understand that KUOW is a small newsroom. And they have to put something out. But I do not understand this story. Police say drivers are not stopping when they put on lights and sirens. And they blame the fact that there are new restrictions on high speed chases. At best, it feels like it needs more work.

Like, their numbers don’t make any sense. The story admits it doesn’t have the data to back up police claims. And only at the end does it mention oh by the way fewer people are dying in high speed chases. Imagine leading with that, and how frivolous the rest of the story might seem.

Finally, they provide one person who called 9-1-1 and asked the dispatcher to have the police stop chasing them. Presumably they caught the person, so it shows the chases aren’t necessary.

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