Lynnwood is about 25 miles south of me.  The City Council has gotten a lot of media attention since the Lynnwood Times broke this story.  The candidate has some issues far over and above being a MTF transgender:

Indeed, that should be treated as assault and battery. Full Monty: handcuffs, charges, bail bond, the whole nine yards.

... and she has been charged:

The tell for me is right before the whacker smacked the whackee she was dead on looking at the back of the whackee's head. It looked like she was ranging and spotting her target. Had it been an accident I believe the whacker would have probably still been looking at where she was going. At least that is kind of what I saw in the short. poor video. Put  me on the jury coach!!!!

Now that "X" is working again, I watched this one.  It made me think of Baron Harkonen from "Dune", that "floating fat man" in the original 1984 movie.

I just look at where it is from and say, meh, that weird wet side of WA. They all live over there until it is too conservative even for them and then they move to Portland!

Dune if it was done by Netflix.

A bill in Illinois would make it legal to attack police officers when you're having a mental health episode:

The NAACP is now defending the track whacker.  I guess the whackee was not black enough.

Good luck with that. I just re-watched the video. That was no accident. She became "upset" because she got passed on the corner leading into the straight. In typical ghetto fashion, the proper response when someone upsets you is to give 'em an ass whuppin'. No need for curb stompin' when you're carrying a convenient length of metal pipe.

I saw that right after it happened and thought it was obviously deliberate.  I haven't seen anything yet to change my mind.

They forgot to put "Favorite Ice Cream Flavor" and "Star Trek or Star Wars?" on the form.

I remember them saying doctors can't tell if a baby is a boy or girl at birth. Science!

Britain will "decolonize" Shakespeare's birthplace. But, I mean... how? Were there Apaches there before they came to America or something?

Weren't some of the ancient Britons POCs, specifically BLUE POCs, sort of like oversized Smurfs? (Unless blue dye doesn't count?) You don't see them around much, so it must be British Colonizer Whitey's fault.

Remember when Mumahar Quadaffi claimed that Shakespeare was actually Libyan, and Britains should be honored that they adopted him as one of their own?

Apparently the Brits are finally getting down with that idea.

He thinks women who don't want him in the women's room is because they feel threatened by his femininity.
Yeah right

Yes, the reason women don’t want him in their single sex spaces is because they’re threatened by his femininity 🙄

Stratford-upon-Avon is south of the wall, so "decolonizing" it involves sending the swarthy folks back to counties that border the Med.  Prolly not what they mean though.

Okay - Y'all already know that I'm a Bad Person...
 
I know a person. This person is a teacher. I think High School, maybe Middle School.
 
This smirking person allegedly teaches English, when they aren't bitching about how their school isn't woke enough, and keeps taking away their teaching materials.
 
Yeah, you can guess. And  you probably won't be guessing hard enough.
 
So I am considering asking them a question on their farcebook.

You may be thinking of the Picts who lived on the northern areas of the island - aka Scotland.
