Inside the mother of all Neolithic tombs ... Newgrange in Ireland. This photo, from excavator Michael O'Kelly's book, shows the chamber (with spiral carving) that is illuminated via the famous roofbox opening at winter solstice. A 5,200-yr-old celebration of the return of the sun. #TombTuesday

HAPPENING NOW: A group of protesters have reportedly taken over the intersection on Beacon Hill where someone on a bike was killed by a hit-and-run driver early this morning.

I'm not on the scene yet, but was sent this photo from Beacon Avenue and Stevens Street.

This is my favorite recurring Seattle theater event and it's not even close.

A one-night production of It's a Wonderful Life where no one knows who is in the cast– including the cast. They enter with the audience and say their first line from their seat. There's not really anything else like it.

Just heard the fifth report in the last 24 hours of someone being hit by a car in the Seattle area. One was a 14-year-old kid. QUESTION FOR ANYONE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE: Who are you, and where do you have to be, that’s more important than another human being’s life?!
