This is, without question, what they want. Two winters ago, a man froze to death in his car a mere 100 yards from Strauss’s home office. He doesn’t want to save the next person’s life, he wants them to die somewhere else.

Sometime around 2010 I bought last-minute tickets to see LeBron play the Nets while on a work trip—got from my hotel in Manhattan to Barclays Center in Brooklyn in like 15 minutes. This shapes my entire view of transportation policy to this day.

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: MISTREATMENT;
Earlier Jail Seen as Incubator for Abuses in Iraq
By Douglas Jehl

An American-run detention center outside
Baghdad known as Camp Cropper was reportedly the site of numerous abuses of Iraqi prisoners several months before the mistreatment of prisoners unfolded last fall at Abu Ghraib prison, according to documents and interviews.

If you thought Mariners’ radio broadcasts had a lot of in-game ad reads, you should listen to the Yankees on WFAN. You should also listen to the Yankees on WFAN to hear Dave Sims call playoff games. Pretty cool.

I care a lot about how the story of Mariners Baseball is told. Probably too much. The way yesterday looked was a reflection of how the cultural reset the M’s desperately need extends far beyond the field of play. New post up on The View Level. www.theviewlevel.com/p/yes-the-ma...

Never more thankful to be on an ebike instead of in a car than when running errands around the north side on a sunny weekday at rush hour.

Something I noticed this morning was the confirmation that not only was Barnes out of town foe the shooting, but both of his deputy chiefs were also on vacation. He brought in a second deputy chief himself, which is a bit unusual (and also expensive.)

Awful stuff. Blocks from my home—go through this intersection every time I ride to a Mariners game. Curious on the details of this but neither 85th nor 24th need to be as wide as they are here.

Barnes makes around $370,000 a year. He has repeatedly been out of town, at events in other cities or at his family home in Chicago, during emergencies like today’s mass shootimg.

Barnes’ family residence is in Chicago and he rents here while making frequent trips home and out of town in general. Ive reached out to SPD; during past emergency incidents when he’s been elsewhere, they’ve told me it’s no problem because of his qualified staff.

"Some fights never stop. They just find a new generation" The closest analog to Joy Hollingsworth in the late 1960s was moderate Sam Smith, who was constantly shitting all over the Seattle Panthers. Hollingsworth is a vehicle for Chamber policies, with a thin veneer of vibes on top.

I know I harp on it but as someone who’s lived in his district now for his entire time in office and beyond, Dan Strauss is such an emblematic character for the modern Democratic Party.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Is there anywhere on the north side of Seattle that still has a solid late-night happy hour? Used to be you could go downtown Ballard to The Gerald or the back bar at Bitteroot BBQ and get a cocktail and something to munch on for like $12.

Say what you will about Scott Servais – he was relatively modern about matching high-leverage pitchers to high-leverage spots. "He’s more of our ninth inning guy" should be disqualifying statement in the year 2026

Every U.S. city hosting the World Cup this summer also runs an ICE concentration camp, some just miles from the stadium. While the world watches, children are being held nearby. This is the Let Them Go map. Share it. Visit letthemgo.us to learn more and take action.

It’s such a bummer that after all these years and all this money, the solution to the Missing Link in Ballard is going to one of the lower quality bike routes Seattle has built in years. (Love the guy standing on the trail taking a phone call.) www.myballard.com/2026/06/08/b...
