From prison, convicted rapist Arlin Jordin has easily evicted tenants for decades. With Washington’s right-to-counsel laws, that’s all changing. This month, it all came to a head with Spokane's first right-to-counsel jury trial for an eviction:

I knew I was growing up in an automatic world. I learned on sticks *because* it seemed niche. These dorks seem to think “niche” is a synonym for useless, but it’s often precisely the opposite. If you’re the only person with a niche skill when it’s needed, you’re the hero.

Anyone know if Natalie or Rachel are still kicking around Spokane? I’d love to talk to them at length about KEZE Rock 106. I was partial to KZZU the Zoo, myself, but respect. https://t.co/mdGbUw95Ie

I wrote about film and tv (along with music and food) basically every week for a decade. But when I left my weekly paper job in 2012, I gradually fell away from even *seeing* movies for a long time. Really happy to be rekindling this part of myself. And doing it with this guy

I will be live over on @rangemedia.co's Instagram at 12:30 (pst) for an exclusive with Ben Stuckart, who kicked off Wednesday's unrest. He spoke with Cesar from ICE detention for the first time late last night. We'll talk about all of it in ~ 3 hours https://t.co/fAdcB2SrBa
