SPD behaved so poorly during CHOP that sometimes you forget whole ass portions of it. Reading about the report by the Inspector General, I completely forgot about SPD making up armed checkpoints out of whole cloth. Wild that they want more offers and 0 accountability after that mess.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Vaccination rates are low for the bivalent booster, so make an appointment soon.

Who else is sick of the smoke from the Bolt Creek Fire? It has been more than a month of this disgusting sky. We could all use some rain.

One thing I am surprised by is that so few people are wearing N95 masks in it. Surely we all swimming in them after COVID-19. And they’re free at most drug stores. Just ask for one.

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

What the fuck is happening with the King County jail? Jesus, man. Cloudy water? Cloudy water. For a week. It’s so terrible. They are people in our custody, and we have a moral responsibility to do fucking better.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And sign up to get vaccinated or for the bivalent booster right now.

Man. Seattle sports teams. The Mariners breaking the playoff drought. And OL Reign coming in first in the NWSL.

We may ir may not get a Mariners home game in the playoffs. But OL Reign are playing at Lumen Field. And if you haven’t been to one of there games, let me recommend a trip. The crowd is a lot of fun during the regular season, and I imagine it will be even more during the playoffs. The team took a while to get started but have been playing great for a while now.

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

Good morning. Let’s start taking steps to get to a place where we can breach the dams on the Snake River. Excellent for salmon. We’ll have to figure out ways to replace the energy the dams produce. But it’s great to push for.

Rep. Dan Newhouse is opposed to any dam removal because he’s fighting a war on fishing. He wants the Snake River as dead as possible. He hates the recreation and transportation that could be achieved.

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

Forgot I was working early this morning, so short and sweet. Don’t delete your text messages if you’re a government official.

I am still wrapping my head around Mayor Harrell’s budget. It seems certain that the high water mark of the defund movement in Seattle will be in the past as even taking parking enforcement out of the hands of the police is at least proposed to go away.

Good morning. Are you excited about Darryl doing Senate poll watching? I am. But I do want to note that the polls are a snapshot in time in a series of events you can shape. You, yes you, can help influence who is in the Senate next year. You can make calls. You can text bank. You can donate. You can (and hopefully will) vote. You can knock on doors.

And you can get vaccinated for goodness sake. Or get boosted with the bivalent booster if you’re eligible.

The slow decline of Boeing in Western Washington has been gutting. Sometimes it’s surprising that there’s any meat left on the bone. And yet. Boeing is outsourcing corporate finance jobs to India. About 150 starting in October. This is nationwide, but surely it will take jobs from the Seattle area. You feel worse for the people doing factory work than these people. But still, it stinks.

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