During Saka's long speech about transit safety and security, he never specifically made the case for an added position in the city's bureaucracy to direct activities in this area. Given the fact that most of the planned investments in transit security are planned at the county, this seems important?

This is great news (although the city should never have gone back on its word); the sad news is that, per WiB, at least (meaning almost certainly more) 228 unsheltered people have died this year, including many by violence. That is an appalling and shameful number.

A Women In Black update includes the news that Tent City 4 will be staying at the Lake City Community Center through next May (their original plan). After months of work planning the move to the site, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell suddenly deemed it not "appropriate" earlier this year.

this is a wild way to end this thread lmao
Of course he didn’t build all the Bike lane single-handedly, nor pay for them out of his own pocket. He benefited from a once in a generation fund. It was basically required to build them.

But he did build them rather than letting the money expire, and he built them well. Hats off

24 hours after the Israeli army announced it would reopen the Zikim crossing, it remains closed, with no trucks entering Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.

The shutdown leaves all of northern Gaza without a functioning entry point for humanitarian or commercial supplies...

Another interesting note, about 240 ballots that were previously challenged due to signature issues. This suggests "ballot curing efforts" may be having an effect and could even prove decisive. About 1,700 ballots remained challenged, according to King County Elections.

SEATTLE ELECTIONS UPDATE: Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell by just 91 votes, or 0.04%. About 6,400 ballots are left to be counted, which means the margin will likely remain very small, but Wilson has an edge. A machine recount is almost certain.

Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old.

He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him

His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary

A *million* people.

Lawn darts were banned forever in Canada after like 50 people got injured.

Any company not run by absolute ghouls would shut this thing down. Governments should be banning the fuck out of it.
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

“The U.S. executed 16 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats from Sept. 2 to Nov. 4, killing at least 66 people.”
AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats.

"They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services"

apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"
