Press release I woke up to, on Christa Pike’s condition (sent 9/30 at 11:36pm ET)

Statement from Christa Pike’s attorney Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee

Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.

Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

Probably one of the worst outcomes of the combo of our current admin and AI is the insistent devaluing of any kind of research. My whole job is to convince people that there is expert research on almost any topic you can think of, to find it, read it, and write about it...

I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

Horrified by Christa Pike's failed execution. It's a shocking societal failure in so many ways, and underscores conservative cruelty and love of literal state-sanctioned torture

Pinehurst and Lake City have some interesting denser housing spread across the neighborhood, mostly after people sell their lot. Most of that neighborhood is either new denser (and more expensive) development or older, smaller pre-60s construction

Love seeing every "urbanist" make fun of the Pinehurst station because the Jackson Park golf course is a mile away from it. People need to stop looking at Google Maps to find things to make fun of the north side about

This is the coolest girl around and I want to be her friend so bad

girlscouts What happens when a pet owner doesn't have the information they need to properly care for a reptile?
Gold Award Girl Scout Sicilia saw how a lack of education could impact reptiles and local ecosystems, so she took action. For her #gsGoldAward project, she created educational videos focused on proper bearded dragon care and shared what she learned with younger Girl Scouts through presentations on responsible pet ownership.
By making reliable care information more accessible, Sicilia created a resource that can continue helping reptile owners make informed choices long after her project. *t

The headline for this piece is "What if writing isn't central to thinking?" If only there was a field that had been around for 75 years that people could do a basic library literature search of this question to find the answer.

Seattle urbanists really need to figure out how to talk about the north side. Is it a suburb full of single family homes that's a waste of money to build a light rail stop for or a patchwork of brownfields where no one should *have* to live?

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace

I don't know if anything quite summarizes living on the north side of Seattle like the drama about Winco trying to open in an old Sam's Club location on Aurora Ave. It really pulls at your various political strings and has quite a story behind it.

I'd have more feelings about the lesbian bar article but I am recalling the time I flew to NYC to see a guy I was dating and he ditched me with no plan and nowhere to stay to go see his witch in MA. The gay people from that area are something else
