Want to house a homeless person? Eight Seattle families are currently participating in the BLOCK project, a nonprofit that houses homeless people by building homes for them in people's backyards. There was a lot of interest when the project first kicked off in 2017. According to the Seattle Times, 130 families signed up to be participants, but only nine have had homes installed, and only four have residents living in them. The project is slow but it's a solution, its founders say.

Bremerton National Airport could get an expansion: Washington State is looking into another airport to relieve congestion at Sea-Tac Airport. Bremerton National Airport was used by pilots in World War II and now services lots of private pilots. It's got a runway and heaps of land. It's high on the list for possible expansion. But, hear me out, what if we didn't get another airport and instead invested in high-speed rail? Eh? Eh?

Shit is crazy in Hong Kong right now: Hong Kong Polytechnic University looks like a battlefield right now. Protesters have held the campus for a week and prevented police from entering. But now, riot police have blocked all but one exit and are raining tear gas and rubber bullets down on protesters. There's only one way out, they're telling protesters, put down weapons and surrender and you can leave. Protesters assume that if they do this, they will be arrested. While all of this is happening, the Hong Kong High Court struck down a ban on wearing masks in public, saying it violates the territory's constitution.

Prince Andrew tries to shed Epstein ties: In a rambling and contradictory account during an interview, Prince Andrew tried to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein and the claims he had sex with underage girls. Andrew has been pictured with a then-17-year-old girl who has now accused him of having sex with her. He said he didn't remember the photo being taken and did not have sex with her because that night he had taken his children to a pizza restaurant and was at home with them after. This was his proof that he didn't have sex with any underage women:

"If you’re a man it is a positive act to have sex with somebody,” the prince explained. “You have to … take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it’s very difficult to try and forget a positive action and I do not remember anything.”
