Finished Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. After finishing the first I couldn't wait to get them next one from the library and had to buy it.
I'm sure I'll revisit and reread them both. What an amazing author. I also think I found a new favorite genre.

#Seattle join us in electing Katie as our next mayor. We need vision and know-how. Katie is exceptionally qualified to lead us into an age of affordability, where local government works for the people and not their donors and family. Fill out your ballot early and return it! Letβs win this!

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.
Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay βis not procedural. Itβs intentional.β π§΅

Exactly. If Harrell is re-elected, nothing will change on homelessness, on housing costs, and so much more. He will take it as validation of what he's done so far.

I play a game with my son where watch cars and see if they can stop before the stop line or even at minimum not enter the crosswalk. In a school zone at peak school zone hours most cars (once, 9/10 cars) didn't stop before the stop sign. Most didn't come to a complete stop at all.

Harrell's campaign is leaning hard on the "experience managing large, complex organizations" argument. And yet here's a story where SDOT ultimately follows its own policies and does the right thing, but *in spite of* Harrell's leadership, thanks to pressure from his opponent's activist organization.
