A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.
But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.
WTH?

I've talked to a couple City of Seattle employees now who are beyond relieved with the election results, if only because they'll hopefully get to interact with a more functional executive branch now

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Hearing from a reader that part of the Bicycle Weekend route (this is the penultimate one of the year) is closed off to people walking and biking for what looks like a Rivian commercial shoot. Real classy, Seattle. We get only a handful of car-free days a year, and you give one to a car company.
