This Boeing whistleblower worked in Everett for 28 years and there's still nothing up on The Seattle Times or Everett Herald about this. At the end of yesterday, TMZ was still the only major US news outlet that had reported on this. And that's not weird. Not one bit!
It's been about 3 hours since the BBC broke this and the only US publication reporting on it is TMZ. WTF???

Seattle became the largest U.S. city to call for a long-term ceasefire last night and editors at The Seattle Times don't have their own story on it anywhere on their website's front page. It's completely buried. It did get covered! And then buried.
The Seattle City Council approved a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza late Tuesday, a month after a similar resolution was not even considered.

There's this fantastical notion at The Seattle Times that the general public/readership would never conflate the newsroom with the biased content Editorial and Advertising puts out there. Of course they do -- especially when it's all over the front page.
The front page of the Seattle Times right now is basically a giant ad campaign smearing one of the candidates they cover, with none of the legally required information about who is funding the ad (link is to PDC requirements).

At the same time, maybe this is a hopeful sign more people are finally admitting to themselves that the people leading the Seattle Police Department are ineffective, dangerous bullies at best/flat-out sociopathic murderers at worst. Because if even Danny Westneat is seeing it ...
Danny Westneat's most recent column on SPD's "threatening behavior" is so funny (not funny). We've BEEN saying this. At the end of the day, police don't care about the community. They care about maintaining their authority and power, which is what they were created to do.

It's so hard for recent generations of journalists to gain the kind of hard-earned knowledge that makes them the smart, quick, see-straight-through-the-bullshit beat reporters communities really need. Short-sighted moves like this are the reason we have less and less of them.

"Magical thinking doesn't make treatment magical, to use a little Westneat wordplay." 🤣 Also, stop calling jail/prison "treatment." Mounds of research prove either makes fatal overdoses at least 40x more likely. A Washington state study once said it's at least 120x more likely.
4) Last thing: It would really be nice if pundits who praise "treatment" would learn a single, solitary thing about treatment—what it is, relapse rates, what works and doesn't, literally anything. Magical thinking doesn't make treatment magical, to use a little Westneat wordplay.

Even though it sounds nice for the city to replicate the diversion programs the County already has in place, the chances they will really be funded and used under someone like City Attorney Ann Davison are bleak. This war-on-drugs bill needs to just die.
Fallout from the vote against the drug war:
• Lewis is meeting with Mayor staff to sketch out diversion and treatment system ahead of another vote
• GOP City Attorney issues false statement, Herbold calls her on it
• County keeps playing hot potato

OceanGate claimed it drew on the expertise of Boeing, NASA and UW to design and build the submersible Titan. This week, all three entities denied participating in the sub’s design or construction,

Like, besides the political disagreement, the points he making are so laughably bad. Dude, this is a WHOLE STATE named after George Washington, who definitely owned not just one slave, but 317 slaves at the time of his death. Do you even know where you are, sir?

Flipping journalism on its head to write satire for

has been so fun and cathartic. I'm teaching a "Real Fake Newsroom" workshop this next Monday if you've ever wanted to learn how to write satire yourself.
Our next Needling Real (YES REAL) Fake Newsroom Workshop starts this Monday night, Nov. 15. Two spots left if you want to join us:
