In case you were wondering how the Seattle mayor debate went…
In addition to not understanding how change happens (it isn't the suits who sign the bill or cut the ribbon, it's the advocates who push against the status quo and force institutions to move), Harrell takes credit for every success in his vicinity and blames others for every failure on his watch.

Such a profound loss. I had an anthropology professor in college who had the opportunity to meet Jane Goodall and said that when talking to her you felt like you were the only person in the room. Truly the best of us.

When I had a long commute I would need to remove it to charge at work because there were no plugs outside. Then I doubled the capacity and didn’t have to. Now they basically never come off. Having the flexibility is nice.
