The Oatmeal and His Brother Built Jimothy’s Evil Dad to Haunt Bainbridge Island This Halloween - The Stranger
Sifting through the infosphere as I drafted Monday’s Slog AM, I was delighted to stumble on an Instagram post introducing Grimothy aka “Jim Reaper, Dark Lord and Father of Jimothy,” as his creators call him. Could this monstrosity have sown Seattle’s favorite short-spined raccoon whose likeness has been co-opted by sports teams, artisanal cutting boards, […]

This, by the way, is why having local reporters who stick around to keep covering the city year after year matters! I literally just got it in my head that Saka was gung-ho about these restrooms last year and just HAD to take the time to look it up. Support your petty local journalist!

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2mo agoI resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
