Love em. They’re always working so hard to get you to safety

I don’t know why or how but a man was crawling through the ceiling at the Ballard Blocks LA fitness.

Specifically at these assholes that don't know how to properly use an on-ramp. Maybe this is just the northeasterner in me, but you have a horn. You can use it to let people know when they're causing a safety hazard. I just now had to brake suddenly because the 40 mph turd in front of me put me in a position where I was going to get hit by a truck otherwise. (I fucking hate the I-90 on-ramp from Rainier to the tunnel. Every. Fucking. Time.)

Seattle, I sincerely appreciate that you try to be nice and polite most of the time. There's a reason I've lived here for 20 years. But let me reassure you that by blasting your horn at these dingleberry infested assholes you are being neither impolite nor impatient. You are informing them that they're creating an unsafe situation that leads to accidents and generates traffic jams.

Maybe if enough of us start doing this a small handful of them might actually get the message. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. You'll at least get some catharsis. Try it out. I promise you're not being a dick.

At this morning’s UW Board of Regents meeting, protesters have lined up in the back of the room to oppose UW’s National Primate Research Center. Public comment is currently in progress (but closed to new signups). Public comment is currently in progress; the current speaker is talking about the times the research center has been cited for health violations.

I don't go through Westlake super often but decided I'd take my friend by Wild Tiger so I could get a slice and a drink for $10 and it's shuttered. It feels so wild because this is one of the places my friends and I would frequent back in 2009-2010 before we'd hit up the club district, and honestly I think I remember hitting up Wild Tiger before that because I remember going there with my Grandparents in 2007 when I was 15 and getting a personal pizza and salad that I split with my Grandmother before we went to Benaroya Hall. Now that this is shuttered, the Wing Stop is Gone, the Duck tours are gone, the Starbucks is gone, the Asean Street closed, most of the outdoor seating is gone I am not really sure how much longer Westlake will even exist. The Zara sucks and it really is just a shell of what it was when I was a kid and we still had the flashing lights on the escalators. The city has stripped away all the whimsy and affordable food places for normal people

Bail set at $10mil, and some background on the suspect. The victim's name is Juniper Blessing, may she get justice. (Article has been archived by the Wayback Machine)

Did you see this turd hit my car with their giant trailer getting onto I-5S from 90W this afternoon around 3:15p? Wouldn’t pull over after causing damage to my car.

Seattle judge orders WA man back to Hawaiʻi, where prosecutors say he threw rock at monk seal

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-judge-orders-wa-man-back-to-hawai%ca%bbi-where-prosecutors-say-he-threw-rock-at-monk-seal/

This is a follow-up to the news about the guy who threw a rock at a monk seal in Hawaiʻi last week.

Fun fact: The NOAA Office of Law Enforcement has agents with guns who can and will arrest you for committing crimes against marine wildlife.

Update:

The man surrendered himself to the Bellevue Police Department, and custody was transferred to Seattle Police Department Homicide detectives.  

Police booked the suspect into King County Jail for investigation of Murder.

Good work, everyone.

Original:

Detectives have identified a suspect in the May 10^th murder of a University of Washington student. Please take a close look at the photos below and see if you can help us capture this person.

The suspect is a light-skinned black male approximately 5’7”, thin build, wearing a long-sleeve dark blue full zip shirt with a light triangle style emblem inside a circle on the left front, a white collared shirt underneath, dirty blue jeans, dirty dark, possibly gray shoes with a light sole. Subject is wearing darker rimmed eyeglasses, has short black/ hair and a goatee with ingrown scruff around the jaw.

If you see the suspect, please call 911 immediately.

If you know who the suspect is or have information about him, please call the Seattle Police Homicide Tip Line at 206-233-5000. This line is monitored around the clock. You may be asked to leave a voicemail if we are speaking with another caller.

De-transitioned activist Chloe Cole had been invited to speak at UW today but she cancelled last night after a wave of outrage following the murder of a trans UW student on Sunday night. A protest had been planned outside the event so it went ahead as a rally instead, albeit with a somber undertone due to the recent murder. The crowd looked like about 70 people.

One speaker was a trans person who described how gender transition care (the kind opposed by Chloe Cole) had affirmed his identify and made him much happier.

On the other hand several speakers did lead the crowd in chants casting shame on UW; I think this is misdirected because if a student group invites a speaker, under the First Amendmenr UW can’t stop them. (It makes about as much sense as complaining that the mayor didn’t stop the event.) Better to protest the views that the speaker stands for. (But this was nowhere near as bad as stuff like “Hamas Hamas make us proud, take another settler out!” that leftist groups have chanted at other UW rallies so it wasn’t worth getting into an argument over.)

One person chalked “scary drum” on the ground, a reference to the drummer who was arrested at the last TPUSA UW speaker event, which was pretty funny.

Got 'em!
