i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

The Seattle Times has chosen to ignore overwhelming written contemporaneous evidence and take a comment from a police chief as gospel in order to blame Mayor Katie Wilson for SPD's failure to put out any information after the Bite of Seattle shooting. Different day, same obsession.

As the city begins its search for a new police chief, it must be held accountable for promised improvements in order to attract the best potential candidates.

Watching an NFL game in the UK and they have like half as many commercials. We’ve been cooked by this sport to accept all the ads and it’s kinda sad. Reminds me of using the internet the past decade.

Different Regulations and Cultural Norms: British television and broadcasting bodies (like the BBC, which doesn't show commercials at all) operate under stricter advertising minute limits per hour than American networks. UK sports fans are also accustomed to continuous action like soccer and rugby, making frequent stop-start commercial blocks jarring.
