Interim chief Andre Sayles says he has a home in Illinois rather than Wisconsin, as I previously reported based on sources inside the city, including multiple sources in SPD. His wife and kids live in their home in Illinois. He said he also has a home in East King County.

the irony of the most conservative members of the city council complaining about this decision saying "The people of Seattle deserve reliable leadership". what was reliable about having a police chief who spends half his time out of Seattle?

Hearing on good authority that Police Chief Shon Barnes has just been fired. He just left the mayor's office this evening after being inside for quite a while. Barnes is currently calling around the police department to tell his captains. Still waiting on confirmation from mayor's office and SPD.

The police chief's schedule shows that he was out of town at least 47 days this year so far. But that's not all... publicola.com/2026/07/29/p...

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

Which type of growth do you prefer? 1 building that contains 32 homes in an existing city OR bulldoze 32 acres of forest to build 32 1-plexes? We can call the 1-plex development euphemistically "Forest Park Estates." Which is better for trees? Let's welcome more neighbors in our existing cities

would hogwarts hire a velociraptor? do you have to let a vampire inside your home - if he's your landlord? is a cop who fights crime as a werewolf by night technically a K9 unit who - deserves overtime? if they become partners, can they literally go anywhere and pull over whomever they want?

Total woke cultural victory. We're bringing pronouns back. It is now illegal to be a white male. We're doing May Day parades just for HR ladies.

"The chemical, called 6PPD-Q, is formed when fine tire particles meet ozone. That happens anytime new chunks of tire are exposed to the air, meaning the particle may be nearly ubiquitous in car-heavy environments."
