Seattle Times editorial board complains about $30,000 bonus for Sound Transit head, but apparently had no problem with $50,000 bonuses for three Seattle police command staff (Barnes, Sayles, and Powell), all of them just thank-yous for taking top jobs here.

Sound Transit CEO's $30,000 bonus shows a big disconnect | Editorial

When private corporations award employees performance bonuses, that’s between the corporation and their shareholders. Not so with a public utility.

Former Microsoft product manager launches bid to end clock change in Washington state, Congress or not

Scott Thurlow isn’t a morning person. So much so, he wants to change state law.

In 2019, Washington lawmakers voted to put the state on permanent daylight saving time if Congress ever allows it. Thurlow has a different idea: Stop changing the clocks now, even if that means staying on Pacific Standard Time for a while.

Thurlow spent 32 years at Microsoft in product management for franchises including the original Outlook, Teams and, most recently, Copilot. A constant stressor was working across time zones.

“We always dreaded the time zone changes on either end because it was meeting chaos,” he said. “Talking with India, which is like 12 hours off, went from really bad to worse…

So this is nuts; Orange County did an "e-bike buyback" event where they paid people up to $1,000 for illegal e-motos...and smaller amounts for legal, unmodified e-bikes that are super unlikely to hurt anyone. At multiple points, the cops refuse to pay for "bikes" that can go up to 40mph.

There's a big difference between "defending bad behavior" and questioning why it needs to be front page news in the New York Times. I realize this is a nuanced distinction in an era where nuance-blindness is more common than blinking. Nonetheless, it's a distinction worth making.
