If only a dedicated group of scientists had warned us about the record heat, torrential flooding, continental scale wildfires, and apocalyptic orange skies

Tomorrow, we drop the most explosive information in the unsolved killing of Antonio Mays Jr. since his death. We've been waiting for months to share something that changes our understanding of what happened to Antonio in 2020. It's in Episode 6 of our podcast, We Keep Us Safe.

In the mild, temperate, water-rich PNW we had a June 2021 heat dome that COOKED millions of sea creatures to death and completely killed the notion that we were safe here. We're in drought rn actually bc all our winter precipitation came down as rain instead of snow for the water supply

We need to bring back the epithet "weird". Because this is just plain weird.

are you an artist living in Pierce County WA? do you want to make money on an easy job? these are fun www.piercecountywa.gov/artwrap

Try to enjoy wild waves and the enchanted village one last summer

New Arrivals

Patty Murray should be the senate minority leader

Re-post from the earlier murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good but appropriate now too.

Maybe the Democrats should stop sending pleas for money based on “polls that show razor-thin margins” and ask themselves why, in an era in which the reigning party has progressed from looting us blind to shooting us dead in the streets, polls don’t show people flocking to the Democrats’ standard.

w....wait.... you mean to tell me.... gulps..... putting money into the arts.......is profitable and..........produces............g-good outcomes for everyone?

20 years ago we used to have Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs and now we have Johnny Diarrhea, Bob Diarrhea and Steve Diarrhea.

Folks, I am a positive person who is happy in my life and who tries to see people’s good side wherever possible and I cannot explain to you how much I fucking hate JKR’s loathsome guts.

Absolutely. I want a plan for tribunals, whether here in the US on the Nuremberg model or sending ICE agents and administration leaders to The Hague.

While JK Rowling and Amnesty are being mentioned in the same breath it's worth remembering why she lost her job there.

Merely abolishing ICE is the moderate, restrained position. The moral position is prosecutions, a truth commission, and fundamental constitutional reform so a rogue court run by extremists can never again approve secret police death saques occupying our cities.

weird how cars are always trying to run them over when they’re not wearing body cams

Seattle Public Utilities had these stickers from artist Sashko Danylenko at West Seattle Summer Fest this weekend, and they're just the perfect amount of whimsy.

Where's the bumper sticker for Tesla owners that says: [I BOUGHT THIS BEFORE ELON BEGGED TO HANG OUT ON EPSTEIN ISLAND]

Your actions can make a heck of a lot more of a difference when you spend your climate energy pressuring governments, corporations and industry to make the changes they need to make. Tacoma, for instance, just banned data centers, partly due to community pressure. www.king5.com/article/news...

Lindsey Graham really thought he was like a deep thinker in the conservative movement and all the obituaries are Trump's Little Renfield dies.

Lol. Tonight reminds me of old school Twitter.

RIP Lindsey Graham

Lindsay Graham died before we knew for certain if Mitch McConnell is dead. I love that we have so many geriatric senators that multiple just die off at once. Jesus Christ, just fucking retire and die on the fucking beach somewhere instead of making us all miserable.

Not getting the whole 'Politician consistently voted against abortions and LGBTQ issues but they were *lovely* to their gay friends, of whom they had many' thing.

The fact that explosive diarrhea is a possibility is enough of a win. Don’t get bogged down by semantics.

Lindsey Graham has died following a disastrous UFC debut

He never deleted it.

*blowing cigarette smoke right in the face of everyone who just woke up to the news* "We already did all the jokes"

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say lindsey graham died from smoking a cigar because the cigar exploded in his face and his pants and socks and underwear flew off and then he dropped the cigar on his penis which also exploded. don’t say stuff like that

Ahhh. Friday markets now closed. Time to act like a fucking lunatic until Sunday night when it will be time to calm the markets before Monday morning opening…

Cartoons my son inked for the volcano but did not make it in this week's edition... maybe next week!

My brother from Juneau is coming to Tacoma for a Washington vacation!

You probably haven't heard of it, but this agency is important for local election officials. Every warning light is flashing for this midterm election.

I’ve lived here my whole life and I’m still constantly shocked at the cost of eating out in the Puget Sound metro area

The thing to keep in mind about all this talk of moon bases and cities on Mars is that it’s dumb baby stuff promoted by bone-deep liars

Again, you should operate under the assumption that there will be a coup attempt

Tim Heidecker's Emergency talks *exclusively* to RFK Jr. and how Alex Jones popped like a balloon. @timheidecker.bsky.social

The fact that officers keep telling these lies in the Everything Gets Filmed era tells you that they trust that the laws and processes created to shield them from credible accusations of murder will shield them from credible accusations of murder.

Am I missing something? Isn't the potential Weekend at Bernie's routine they're doing with McConnell a good thing? The Senate doesn't allow for proxy voting. Him being in limbo just denies the GOP his vote on bills and appointments. Like, it's bad for KY representation but that's their problem.
