admiring writer in the #SeattleTimes #DannyWestneat lays out the figures of federal money for the 4th Congressional District of #WashingtonState (think Hanford) and the vote for Trump (or not voting at all) His careful conclusion is being " engaged in the Sisyphean challenge of our moment. Which is to try not to forfeit whatever principles I have left to this man."

Hey #SeattleTimes, interesting little detail in that article about the battery storage project in Sedro-Woolley. #Salmon are anadromous, not "androgynous". Although some might be both, who knows. And some are enormous.

Newspaper endorsement!!
“ The election this November pits Harris against former President Donald Trump. Given the choice, it’s not a close call.
This editorial board supports Harris as the leader better able to tackle the major issues ahead: income inequality and wealth disparities, rising health and other costs, assaults on abortion rights and personal freedoms, global instability, and the growing threat of climate catastrophe.”

“Since Trump announced his candidacy after descending on a golden escalator in the tower that bears his name back in 2015, he has repeatedly and consistently demonstrated that he is unfit to lead.”

Read the story from the Seattle Times.
Keri Bergere, Annie Bilotta, Tisch Schmidt-Williams, Aune Tietz and Erica Wolf will receive the Carnegie Medal “for extraordinary acts of heroism” following their widely-reported effort to fight off a cougar that attacked Bergere while the group was biking northeast of Fall City in February. But behind the truly remarkable story of bravery and perseverance are real people who did not ask for this to happen and are struggling in their own ways to deal with life after their group trauma.
The women spoke with Xavier Martinez at the Seattle Times for a powerful follow-up story, and the women once again have shown bravery by sharing the hardship they continue to endure. I highly recommend reading the whole story:
But, in the weeks and months following the attack, as the physical injuries have healed and the media attention has faded, each of the cyclists has separately struggled to adjust to a new normal.
Bergere and one of her teammates gravitated toward giving minute-by-minute accounts to eager reporters on local and national news outlets. A couple of them took a back seat, choosing to process what they’d lived through largely on their own. They have struggled to find a sense of normalcy, distancing themselves from the rest of the group.
In their own ways, they’ve all made their impact by telling their stories, spearheading efforts to promote wildlife safety and serving as an inspiration to the broader community — most recently as recipients of the Carnegie Medal, a global award for heroism. Even six months later, though, their mental and emotional struggle persists.
“We didn’t set out to have a group trauma on that day,” Schmidt-Williams said.

This #SeattleTimes analysis seems quite biased and flawed. Reuse of #Brownfield (much less #nuclearweapons) sites for massive #SolarFarms w/ #BESS should be the norm when replacing aging/failed #fossilfuel - #ECOKiller generating stations, such as #coal, #gas, #hydro & #nuclear and not to provide increased capacity to be squandered on the #cloud, #Bitcoin and #FakeAI. #Decarbonization, #Electrification, #BehavioralChange.
The Seattle Times · Feds pick Hanford nuclear site for massive solar farmThe renewable energy project could mark a substantial new chapter for the land, which is among the most polluted in the country.

(bonus!) ELECTEDS: 104

Love this Rolf quote:
“They can’t claim ignorance,” he said. “They can only claim that they weren’t prepared.”
“These guys got 10 years to get their act together, and if they haven’t figured out how to run a successful business without screwing workers, shame on them,” he said. “They don’t deserve to be in business.”
Oh, FFS. The @SeattleTimes put an article up on their website about a fire in Columbia City. Only it was actually in Mount Baker. (Not even on the border, but two blocks from the MB Transit Center.) Comments pointed out the error. But they put it in today's print edition with the same error. Then SlogAM linked to it with the same error. It's a small detail, but how can we trust their reporting if they can't even look at a map.
Basketball great #BillWalton has passed away according to his friend, journalist Steve Kelly. Very sad news. #UCLA #8clap #SeattleTimes
