Five hours of stress probably took five years off my life but it was worth it. Go Mariners! Nicely played Tigers! Epic game.

The Seattle Times is moving — again — to a building across from REI in the South Lake Union neighborhood. This is the second move since I left the paper in 2001.

The Seattle Times is moving, again

The Northwest's largest newspaper is relocating but not too far from its longtime location in Seattle. Plus: A dustup in Alaska over Charlie Kirk coverage.

Brandi Kruse, who was once a local FOX reporter, was at the Trump Fan Club meeting, made a cutesy remark about how attractive she, Brandi, is, and Trump drooled something back.

Then she trashed the actual reporters in the room.

Trump, 79, Makes Creepy Remark to Fan Girl Reporter

The exchange capped off a bizarre roundtable in which Trump invited guests to air their grievances about Antifa and the mainstream media.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Seattle and Portland: "According to a Seattle Times analysis of FBI data, crime overall has fallen in both cities since 2022, with the rate of violent crime remaining stable in the past couple of years."

As Trump ramps up National Guard threats, what’s crime really like in Portland and Seattle?

Donald Trump has often name-checked both cities, describing them as dangerous. Here's what the numbers show.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

Carpenter Media Group, which softened the description of Charlie Kirk in Alaskan newspapers, also owns the Herald in Everett and numerous other small newspapers in WA.

Journalists at 3 newspapers quit over edits to a Charlie Kirk story

The publications in Alaska lost significant staffing after the owners made changes to an article that had drawn criticism from a Republican state lawmaker.
