Greg, Brian, and Colin regretfully pass on publishing a recent “piece” by Ari Hoffman in the city’s elite subterranean paper, Mechanical Freak, and an extremely reasonable member of WE Demand SAFE Shopping (this is not a joke) tells Safe Seattle harrowing tales of rampant “robbery” (shoplifting) at their local Safeway, where we learn no cut of meat is safe from pillage and no employee willing to die for the cause of loss prevention.

Greg, Brian, and Colin discuss burger failson Saul Spady’s inability to procure the usual salmon breakfast at his favorite Capitol Hill restaurant on account of having bad politics, a much needed showcase on dangerous rhetoric w/r/t the unhoused featuring the turgid documentary “Seattle is Dying” from Citations Needed, the ease and simplicity of going back to school on public transit, a broken contract and the continued dependence on the kindness of strangers for the beleaguered First Avenue streetcar project, and a Class War double feature at The Beacon.
Greg, Brian, and Colin are joined by co-chair of the Seattle Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Captain Maddie, to contemplate the existence of law when drinking The Claw, Elizabeth Warren’s kowtow to our “progressive” mayor, the recent rescinding of funding from FEMA for helping the unhoused in King County, and a mistrial after a jury breaks on “political lines” in the cases related to the Milo shooting incident.

Razr owners Mary Anne and Chuy to first mutiny, and then to talk all things Texas: from the possibly polluted groundwaters of tank possessing Lubbock, to our favorite political phenomenon Beto, to shady political dealings and run ins with Agents of Alcohol in San Antonio, and a shocking trip to Dallas (or close enough) in 2008.
