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.

Is anyone excited about the Seattle City Council elections? I am not excited about the current crop of candidates. I will be voting for one, and using my Democracy Vouchers on 1 to 4 of them. So, who should I be excited about?

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.

I was at an old folks home over the weekend, and several of the old white ladies were very excited about Michelle Obama’s book. I guess they were talking about it because she was in town. I bought it but haven’t started reading it. Is it as good as the old ladies say?
