Very sorry to hear about the death of Jon Talton, the economy columnist of the Seattle Times. Is anyone else in the city advocating for the First Avenue Connector? I generally read his pieces and found them insightful and worthwhile, but sometimes interrupted when he did a kind of auto-karaoke. He sounds like good people. Was only 69. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/obituaries/jon-talton-seattle-times-business-columnist-and-author-dies-at-69/

My daughter has discovered that her school gives her a free subscription to #seattletimes and now she spends quite a bit of time every day reading the obits. Something tells me that's not what they intended when they decided to subscribe.

Wow, Frank Blethen officially stepped down today.

(Ryan Blethen, his son, is taking over.)

Say what you will about the Blethens and the Times, and there's plenty to say, but it's still one of the last independent daily newspapers and I'd much rather keep it that way than have it absorbed into some propaganda consortium.

As everyone here knows, I won't read #SeattleTimes columnist Danny Westneat.
But ... impossible not to notice that Gov Ferguson splashed his 180 turn on taxing the rich *a single day after* Danny boy's column with a headline about taxing the rich bring so hot right now.
Did Ferguson take his cue from Danny boy?

I understand why the Washington Post published a long puff piece on Dr Oz.
I don't understand why the #SeattleTimes re-published it.

Cool write up from #SeattleTimes about using #pnpm to suppress #npm lifecycle scripts: https://pnpm.io/blog/2025/12/05/newsroom-npm-supply-chain-security

Nothing like realizing you’ve been just executing arbitrary scripts from the internet for years. 😬

[US Sen. Patty] Murray: ICE dog attack on WA man ‘should shock the conscience’

https://archive.ph/qpZRf

from #SeattleTimes
Dec. 6, 2025

#US Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., is calling for the immediate release of a Clark County man whose attorneys say was mauled by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement dog despite not resisting arrest.

Undercover immigration officials detained Wilmer Toledo-Martinez, of Vancouver, Wash., outside his home on Nov. 14. An #ICE agent pretended to be a construction worker, claiming he had hit Toledo-Martinez’s vehicle and needed to exchange insurance, luring the family out of their home, according to the senator.

Another agent was waiting for Toledo-Martinez outside, releasing a dog that then mauled him, according to his attorney. As of Saturday, Toledo-Martinez, was being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.
