Well regardless of where it happened, the FBI just relaxed its hiring process - so a certain stud may now qualify for a position with Kash Patel.

The Netherlands named their street saftey campaign in the 70s “stop de kindermoord” (stop killing children)
This unfortunately won’t work in the US as our establishment leaders are pedophiles and we can’t even get school shootings under control

meanwhile USDOT is trying to remove all references to alternatives to car ownership and defund programs that support it

Ah yes, in a country that designed by force, car dependency into its entire built landscape, making car ownership and driving the first basic requirement to participate in society.

The trick to lowering gas prices is driving less, US energy secretary says
AAA said Labor Day travelers can expect the highest gas prices ever for this time of year. The national average for regular gas was $4.14 on Sunday.

The fact that Musk himself is sponsoring so many of the anti-trans ads this cycle presents a pretty golden opportunity for Dems to point out that of course the guy who literally wants to build a gas-powered data center in your backyard wants this election to be about trans people.

My three-year-old was at the Ed Sheeran concert when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why isn't the nice white rapper performing?" And when I told her "Because an old guy who visits teen-aged prostitutes had him cancelled," she started crying.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour.
This is the statement they published on Instagram:

This is Toyotathon.
The Houthi-aligned Bani Hashish tribes are massing in preparation to “liberate” the remaining Yemeni territory outside Houthi control. It’s a sea of Toyotas with mounted machine guns. I think this is what we should mean when we say Toyotathon from now on.

Crime is down in Seattle. Violent crime is down in Seattle. Homicide is down in Seattle. That's compared to how things were under Bruce Harrell, who (by the logic of the business community, lazily laundered by outlets like this) oversaw higher crime. mynorthwest.com/kiro-opinion...
Jake: Business leaders wrote the plan — now read it, Madam Mayor - MyNorthwest.com
Seattle business leaders already handed Mayor Katie Wilson the public safety plan her new year-long task force was created to write.

Aways an anti-worker slant from these corps and outlets. If Harrell was still mayor there wouldnt be a peep. But now we have a mayor who is ostensibly a socialist and walks a picket line in solidarity with hospitality workers, its a problem. The billionaires are feeling a bit uncomfortable I take it
Gun violence in Seattle isn't a new problem, and my neighborhood has been hit especially hard by it. Weirdly, none of these companies had anything to say about it before we had a socialist mayor.
I wonder what changed?

The gall to not only just double down and continue on in the pedestrain path but to go as fast as freeway traffic too?? What goes on in these people’s minds? They need to have their license jailed and their car removed and be crushed.
Ummm... how did this car get onto the I90 multi use path?

As an aside, this excuse/complaint is incredible. As I've reported, Barnes was out of town almost 40% of the time. Should the mayor really have to hold the police chief's hand and explain why showing up to work here, in Seattle, is a job expectation? publicola.com/2026/08/07/f...

50% of salmon in the state are dying because of stormwater runoff from cars but a few fish die because of this sustainable transit mode and we deploy divers and act like it’s an environmental hazard. Oh, cars are also our city and state’s top CO2 emitter
"Early analysis has shown that the majority of fish are non-native or invasive perch and bass, with a small number of salmon identified as well. But the summary reports we receive in the coming weeks are going to validate all of that," Constantine said.
