I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Kitchens on fire off the oil in the ovens. I watched tokens glitter in the dark near the skeeball grate. All those moments will be lost in time, like pizzas in rain. Time to die.

Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"

SPD is just straight up saying publicly that they need to be 'freed' to police our communities 'proactively' We can agree on one thing; Violent offenders need to be held accountable We should start with Officer Caleb Howard, who also attacked my friend on Mayday www.divestspd.com/p/bad-cop-ba...
Tweet from the Seattle Police Officers guild
• Sep 15 g
Mayor Katie's gun violence plan is long on programs and short on the one thing Seattle needs most: accountability.
Prevention matters. So do serious consequences for violent offenders.
Seattle already has a powerful tool to curb violence - its police officers. Give them the staffing, support, and freedom to do the job.
Let cops be cops.

There is an attached image that says
SPOG supports prevention as one component of any serious strategy to reduce gun violence.
But prevention alone is not enough. There must also be accountability, with serious and meaningful consequences for those who commit violent crimes and repeatedly put our communities at risk.
Not surprisingly, Mayor Katie's plan is overly complicated. Seattle does not need another layer of programs, studies, partnerships, and bureaucracy before taking action. Mayor Wilson already has one of the most effective resources available to curb violence: Seattle police officers.
Give officers the staffing, support, and freedom to proactively police our neighborhoods. Hold violent offenders accountable.
Let cops be cops."

An edited image of a character from the Dungeons & Dragons 1980s animated series, known as the Dungeon Master. The character is bald with white side hair and wears a red and gold robe. Edits include a black Chaos Star symbol (a spoked, star-like design) tattooed on his forehead and exaggerated sharp teeth in his grin, giving him a mischievous and chaotic look. He is raising both hands, conjuring streams of bright blue magical energy shooting upward. The bottom text in bold white font with a black background reads: "Its Chaos, i aint gotta explain shit."

A brooding sunset sky dominated by deep burnt orange and dark rust-red clouds, with a brighter golden glow along the lower horizon and a large dark cloud formation sweeping across the upper right.An abstract close-up of turbulent sunset clouds in rich amber and deep burnt orange, with dramatic layered formations creating a texture resembling churning waves, filling the entire frame.A busy urban street at dusk bathed in deep purple and mauve twilight, lined with utility poles and a dense web of overhead wires, low-rise commercial buildings, and traffic including a cement mixer truck, under a moody pink-purple sky.A close-up of an intensely fiery sunset sky filled entirely with swirling clouds saturated in vivid orange, red, and gold, with no ground or horizon visible.
