Spokane, sports, comics, and whatever rabbit hole I am down at the moment

This is some incredible reporting by a local news outlet. As a two year Zephyr season ticket holder I have been looking for something which explained how shaky the franchise foundation was. It turns out it was very shaky. Not from bad intentions but the league and ownership were clearly adrift.

As the spotlight of the World Cup passed briefly over Spokane — with crowds gathering at watch parties and the Egyptian team training for the World Cup at GU’s Luger Field — the lights had already gone out on the city’s own professional women’s soccer team.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Here’s the thing that frightens me. Everyone executed their roles almost perfectly in the response to these fires and it was still this bad. Everyone. Responders, city, county and fed officials. Detection and warning systems. Everyone did their jobs very well. This was a best case outcome.

The front page of this morning’s Spokesman-Review, Aug. 2, 2026, the day after one of the worst wildfires in Washington state history. More than 600 structures, mostly homes, have been lost in the #OldTrailsFire. Read local news.

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

Should emphasize how unnecessary this escalation was. This smoke and tear gas was used against completely peaceful protest about a block from an open air soccer stadium filled with kids and families. Why discharge those rounds knowing the wind could easily take the fumes onto the field?

‘They just take people’: ICE arrested a Ghanaian immigrant after church while his wife, a US citizen, was on her way home. Now she sits by the phone waiting for him to call from a detention facility as his lawyer tries to reopen his green card application.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.
