This article answers a question that's been on my mind and glossed over as a detail in media since the SPD consent decree was dissolved. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... Namely, who investigates SPD shootings after the consent decree. It's the KC Independent Force Investigation Team.

Video shows Seattle police shooting of barricaded Beacon Hill woman

If I had realized Dorsey wouldn't have an opponent, I would have filed. Not because I would win or be qualified, but simply because a decent person should be in the race. If your answer for fixing 6th doesn't start with helping the street people on 6th, you're a shit person.

Anecdotal, but it seems like cryptocurrency promotion has receded to be coming mostly from techbros in the industry. I no longer hear that cousins are sinking money into mining cards or from weird friends that BTC means independence from the Fed.

I'm really annoyed by transportation department heads that do fuckall for pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders, then after leaving the job are constantly posting on here about great transportation infrastructure they never did. I get why (bad mayors) but am still annoyed.
