In October, statewide news reported that a sheriff's deputy in Texas searched thousands of Flock cameras in Washington for 'Had an abortion, search for female.’ New documents obtained by RANGE show Spokane County Sheriff's Office cameras were accessed in that search:

Not that this is a surprise at this point, but for the first time in eons, it appears LA Times no longer has any correspondent based out of Asia (Beirut notwithstanding)

Sorry, but I can’t stop thinking about how many overqualified, underemployed journalists are currently living on the West Coast with years of local experience and extensive contacts in the region’s many globally important sectors… And this is who Vanity Fair chose to hire as its West Coast Editor.

The Pop Tarts have invented Democratic Calvinism. I’m excited to see what they eventually cook up as their eschatology. On that day will be the end of all non-five-minute breakfasts

Sometimes I wonder why I tell reporters to be concise and keep their writing tight when this kind of writing gets you to the “top” of journalism
Me, before reading the excerpted passage: “I don’t see why anyone would read Olivia Nuzzi’s book. What a pointless exercise.”

Me, after reading the passage: “I must read this book. The hate-read theoretical has launched the hate-read possible.”
I regret to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi's book appears to be Perfect

insane, stupid, comically overwritten, dishy, politically indefensible I cannot wait to get my hands on it I must accept this is who I am as a person at some deep level whether I like it or not www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

Breaking from us:

As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.

Nisqually Indian Tribe is saying no.

The first primary of the 2026 election, by the way, is less than four months away, so we'll see very soon how much of this anger on BlueSky translates at the ballot box:

UPDATE: the incumbent school board, who voted against the ban on trans girls and is now facing the mother of the complaining student, is leading in results so far.
I'd totally missed this:

In Tumwater, WA, a HS student complained about a trans basketball player. Then, the local school board passed a resolution to ban trans girls from girl sports.

Now, the mother of that student is running against the sole school board member to vote against the resolution.

Seattle brings a rare ray of hope for centrists over progressives tonight, as Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson in the first batch of results. 53.5% to 46%.

Caution: This will shift a lot before the final result, and will be very slow.

Ann Davison, the GOP city attorney, trails huge.
