The blackhat hall is 100s of booths all saying Ai. Not a single new innovation in the entire room. Just bolt-ons, & additive automation scenarios they pass off as Ai. most are byo model, so they sell a shell on top of what you have to buy from someone else. A lot of these won't exist in 2yrs.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Issues With Former Police Chief Barnes Weren't Just About His Travel or Where He Lived In a frenzy to condemn the mayor, her opponents seem to have forgotten why Barnes' future at the city was tenuous to begin with.

If Bob Kettle can't keep his emotions in check then maybe he should resign.
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 23h agoSeattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle had an emotional meltdown at a meeting this morning, calling Mayor Katie Wilson's decision to study police camera surveillance "unconscionable."

Tree Action Seattle has been told what the rules are — we know because we spent hours talking to them about campaign and non profit rules in 2021-2023 where we carefully explained to Sandy what a c3 and c4 are. So they can’t pretend to be ignorant of the rules they are flaunting.
If you see me wearing a camera on my head no you didn't.
Just did a quick check and as far as I can tell David Malcolm has absolutely no relevant expertise and has never done any bike or safe streets advocacy previously. Why did the Seattle Times Opinion publish his uninformed opinion?
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · yesterdayMaybe there's a compelling case beyond "kids are getting in bike crashes!!" to argue for heavy regulation of all e-bikes, but this op/ed doesn't make it. Lots of vague stats, unrelated/irrelevant info (teens have "hormones" and don't wear helmets), and unsupported claims ("ask any ER doc," etc.)
Wouldn't be a trip to summer camp if TSA doesn't pull out of line for both bag and body check. 🙄🤣

Erica has been reporting on City Hall for at least the last 25 years. She is one of the city's most knowledgeable journalists. To call her an "influencer" is insulting. I don't think Seattle's establishment media understands the level of anger building at them right now.
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 3d agoOh HELL no. @kuow.org people trashing my work and calling me an "influencer" on Week In Review, claiming—with no receipts whatsoever—that Gil Kerlikowske, Carmen Best, and Adrian Diaz also spent a quarter to a third of their time outside Seattle. www.kuow.org/podcast/week...

I guess former Seattle police chief Shon Barnes was...No surprise... unavailable.
Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d agoA video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.
This story is fine, but the headline the Seattle Times chose implies that a new bus lane is forcing drivers to just "find a new" route to I-5. No, the engineering project actually includes a new route to I-5. Anything to make it look like a progressive mayor is causing chaos, I guess?
Thousands of Seattle drivers and bus riders are in for a big change
How will Mayor Katie Wilson's move to speed the "Late 8" change Denny Way for transit riders and as many as 30,000 motorists who drive it on an average weekday?

Update: I asked SPD about KUOW's claim that they said Barnes' travel was no different than previous chiefs. They told me that's not what they said—according to the spokesperson, SPD told KUOW his travel to major police conferences like IACP was normal, not his frequent trips to his home in Chicago.
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 3d agoKUOW says that "influencers" like me are the reason you should give them money. If you want "police say" statements, I guess go for it.
