In civilized countries (and even some US cities I believe) the local DOT will investigate every traffic fatality the way Jason does here and publish an AAR and actually fix the problem.
In Seattle, we’re too scared we’ll get sued so we just pretend every fatality is an unavoidable accident.

I visited Beacon Ave S and S Stevens Street this morning to understand why a street that was just rebuilt by SDOT can still have a tragedy occur.

The reason Rob Reiner is being mourned universally, as opposed to say, Charlie Kirk, is, I think, because he directed some universally loved movies, before paid pundits like Kirk profited from splitting the understanding of the world that Reiner brought together. Rest in Peace Unc.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

This was what happened to Newsweek and it’s in the process of happening to the LA Times and the Washington Post, too.
Now look at CBS. Installing Bari Weiss to run a news division isn’t a "pivot to the center." It is a deliberate hollowing out.
Take a legacy institution, gut its standards, wear its skin like a suit. They don’t want CBS's credibility; they want to destroy the idea that credible news exists at all.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

![In South Africa under apartheid, and South West Africa (now Namibia), pass laws served as an internal passport system designed to racially segregate the population, restrict movement of individuals, and allocate low-wage migrant labor. Also known as the natives' law, these laws severely restricted the movements of Black South African and other racial groups by confining them to designated areas. Initially applied to African men, attempts to enforce pass laws on women in the 1910s and 1950s sparked significant protests. Pass laws remained a key aspect of the country's apartheid system until their effective termination in 1986. The pass document used to enforce these laws was derogatorily referred to as the dompas (Afrikaans: dompas, lit. 'stupid pass').[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpvbsppojyfmebq6nf6ynexf/bafkreihujvwk7nstpbssehwuzlvly6qukayi44742teazcapi3jx2kmvpi@jpeg)
