Seattle Transit Amendments Results
A Seattle city committee voted on a slate of amendments to the Seattle Transit Measure (STM) levy renewal Mayor Wilson proposed. The meeting video has the proceedings. It’s three and a half hours long, and parts of it were confusing to me. I watched the debates and votes on 6 of the 22 amendments. This … Continue reading "Seattle Transit Amendments Results"

Dare to speak a word on the bus — it’s good for the culture! A critic of nativism and The Stranger’s “How to Seattle”
Spend any time in the Emerald City and you’ll be sure to find those eager to espouse a doctrine of what is or isn’t proper Seattleite behavior. As our once secluded, hilly town on an isthmus has become more and more metropolitan, people’s attempts to assimilate (or even ward off) transplants with a laundry list of norms and etiquette — or even stranger purity tests — have gone too far.

Film historian and actress Illeana Douglas reveals the stories behind an all-female Hollywood classic
Among all the Hollywood biographies and histories I’ve read, this book truly stands out. I was genuinely impressed by the depth of research and the behind-the-scenes revelations I had never encountered. It’s a compelling and exciting read. Even the famous Bette Davis–Joan Crawford feud pales in comparison to the Norma Shearer–Joan Crawford rivalry that explodes off the pages. That rivalry is just one of the treasures buried inside Jungle Red! The Making of MGM’s The Women, the new book by actress, writer,

DC, died peacefully, as he wished, on June 12, 2026, in Seattle, after voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED), supported by loving friends and the wonderful people at A Sacred Passing. Mike lived by the philosophy of “tikkun olam,” a Hebrew phrase that means “repairing the world” through social justice and ethical behavior. Mike’s advocacy for social justice extended in many directions. He took a studied approach and worked to find merit in vi
