Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.
It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.
Now the NG is not leaving DC.

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

But I think my favorite part of this interview with KIRO's John Curley is when Curley asserts that incoming Mayor Katie Wilson will be making "every single DEI hire that you can have" including "LGBTQ two spirit" people and Nelson said nothing. An ally to queer community to the very end.

This is genuinely good news (it’s wild that regulators only consider impacts to male bodies in their testing). But we desperately need safety testing for people outside vehicles. The auto industry keeps building models with higher crosswalk kill rates, but regulators don’t even test this so 5 Stars!
At least we're one step closer to finally getting an officially authorized female crash test dummy. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
