COLUMN | 'Black Faces in High Places' Won't Transform Seattle Policing

A Black police chief does not guarantee safer Black communities. Gennette Cordova calls on Seattle to demand accountability beyond representation.

@seattlebikeblog.com @typewriteralley.bsky.social The Melrose Path right now. Do you happen to know whom to contact to report this who will tell the contractor to move the signs to where they should be (at the entrance to the path and pointing to an actual detour)? @transportation.seattle.gov

I wish I had a better reason to follow the game but it is what it is. Go #Lynx!

There are two dudes running to unseat Gerry Pollet in #Washington LD46. - Davis keeps sending me ActBlue-style spam texts. - Dreher is funded by AI firm employees. He once signed a letter ❤️ing Brett Kavanaugh. Which lesser evil?

One thing I want to be sure to highlight about yesterday's Seattle Transit Measure meeting was the degree to which Dionne Foster really stood out as a transit champion.

Ballard Missing Link loses again, Appeals Court rules fully against city and Cascade

The Appeals Court conclusion. Read the full document (PDF). Another half decade of Missing Link court battling may have been completely wasted after the Washington State Court of Appeals delivered a devastating blow to the city's 2021 attempt to bypass environmental review by building a skinnier trail to connect the Burke-Gilman Trail from 11th Ave NW to the Ballard Locks. The court smacked down arguments made on behalf of completing the reduced trail, affirming that it is not categorically exempt from state environmental review as the city claimed and that the group fighting the trail does have legal standing despite having no official structure, meeting minutes or funding disclosures.

Paige is on a different planet right now!!

Tevis Thompson's article is why I decided to write game reviews and try to break into MetaCritic. They turned us away, but it was worth a go. At least we got on OpenCritic even though that's a tiered system. I would have given Bioshock Infinite a 7.5-8 myself. Fun, but Levine lacks guts, yes.

Carolyn Petit@carolynmichelle.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I do think there could be more public debate and dialogue, more spirited exchanges of ideas about what it is we’re all doing here when we review games. Tevis Thompson made IMO a very stirring argument 13 years ago and really, not that much has changed since then. tevisthompson.com/on-videogame...

Yes, they spent two full days in custody.

I’m a D5 voter who primarily drives and I still want more buses & more free Orca cards for low income folks, and I will support the small tax increase. Let’s elect Nilu to give us good representation on the council! @neighborsfornilu.bsky.social

Sometimes checking the fire department scanner pays dividends that I don't expect.

American players black and white alike better leave it all on the court because the #WNBA is paying now and these European players are looking to get paid and I'm not mad at it. If our players can go over there in the W off-season, they can come here in their off-season.

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social I've wondered for years: Why does the City of Seattle stand up its own (usually sparsely attended) Juneteenth thing in Seward Pk miles away from the main event at NAAM?

Take back the House and pass a better bill.

the luddites have given us an amazing roadmap for what to do when your employer attempts to brute force new technology that will eventually result in the loss of your job. but it does violate the TOS of this website, so we’ll have to keep it in our mind palace for now.

Love it or hate it, AI has been embraced by corporate America. You might not be able to stop your boss from demanding that you use it, but you can try to understand its promise and its limitations. As we like to say here at WIRED: AI or Die Trying!

The thing about a sign like this, @seattledot.bsky.social, is that you can't "merge" into an ONCOMING LANE across a set of streetcar tracks.

You're far more likely to "merge" with the pavement once your wheels hit tracks at any angle other than 90°

Seattle Fire just responded to a driver hitting someone on a bike at the Burke Gilman crossing near Brooklyn Ave NE and NE Pacific Street. The person who was hit on their bike was transported to the hospital.

I found @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social via Levar Burton Reads and a hot minute reading Star Wars novels like popcorn. That got me to Trail of Lightning. It's all good. So, though I'm feeling a silly as a 50s dude excited about a SW book coming out in September, maybe I can get over that.

I 💯 believe that the Needlings constant roasting of the entire suburb of Laurelhurst is one of the things that made that wasteland of rich out of touch narcissists finally shut up.

The Needling@theneedling.com · 3mo ago

After two weeks of deliberation, today the esteemed Laurelhurst Community Council generously agreed to let sick and severely injured airlifted children live instead of die from unnecessarily delayed care in an unnecessary ambulance ride a mile away from Seattle Children’s.

I need somebody to patiently explain the #Storm's player positions to me. All I know about basketball positions I learned ten minutes ago reading Wikipedia. storm.wnba.com/roster Do you know this stuff? Guard? (Not Point or Shooting Guard) Forward? (No Small or Power here!)

I wonder how the author feels about Rob Saka

And by that same token, education in the US as it stands today is also by no means a guarantee of being politically astute. I've seen PhDs and folks with all kinds of graduate degrees fall for easily debunked propaganda because it was in the New York Times.

Chantal James@chantalalive.blacksky.app · 4mo ago

People who aren't educated can be politically astute & make smart political decisions. Black folks have been very politically astute even when they were barred from reading & writing. Saying Americans can't help but to choose to elect a bigot because they read at a 5th grade level isn't valid.
