There were 6 local Seattle businesses who pulled ads, including our local "structured settlement" lawyer and the "help you get custody" lawyer - 2 businesses that are mainstream local advertising dollars

The Jimmy Kimmel tug-of-war was about free speech, yes, but it was also about the free market.

Here's my new piece about the power of consumer pushback in the face of political pressure >>>

I mean they lost 6 of the biggest local businesses running ads here in Seattle this week

as someone who still watches the ABC show live off of the network channel here in Seattle it felt like Sinclair wasn't thinking at all and the loss of bigtime local advisors came real fast

For years my mom would watch Pact 12 basketball & Seattle sporting events on mute with the local announcers on the radio rather than subject herself to Bill Walton and national accouncers

Since I'm old enough to have actually watched The Sopranos when it aired, it also means I was lucky enough to be introduced to Alan Sepinwall's writings and deep love of entertainment and have been a fan ever since. Easiest subscription to do!

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech."

Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

the fact that no one has done that, or turned it into a documentary, blows my mind. My work wife is a color guard/winter guard one and the STORIES she had!

It’s very easy, in these moments, to see who has never had their right to exist peacefully in society on the ballot.

The killing of Kirk is horrible. That’s it. Nothing about the way he practiced politics was good.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 28d

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”

So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

In the current state of mainstream media and holding people accountable @kasie.bsky.social does not get enough credit & flowers for moments like this.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Why wouldn't we look at vaccines and autism?

HUNT: We have looked at it and the studies show there is no connection

MULLIN: So we shouldn't look at it again?

This is absolutely irresponsible — and bullshit — framing.

If your reporters don't know that, you should fire them.

If they do and your leadership just doesn't care, you should fire your leadership or just stop publishing.

Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · Sep 2

I have issues—significant issues—with Bowser's actions during this, but 90% of what happened today is about the background.

1. This is pretty clearly an effort to minimize the chances of Trump seeking to extend the emergency.

2. Federal law enforcement — as opposed to the troops — are always here.

As a Seattle voter (with years in grocery retail) it feels off to see your change support the same week you got the endorsement from UFCW. Considering the city already struggles with big promises and studies that don't produce anything but by then the voter has moved on and no on is accountable

who knew the ROI of dark money was something that would come up?

Colleen Harris @cdawg2610.bsky.social · Aug 27

curious to see what has changed for @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social in the last two months to wanting to explore this option for Seattle now

Katie Wilson @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social · Jun 15

In sum, I would love to do this in principle, but wouldn't want to do it just because it sounds good and then have it turn into a major drain on City time, energy, and resources without real measurable benefits for Seattle residents.
