Autumn Leaves ... Blow Me.

Yet another grouchy roundup Charles, but the cheery big news is the Texas federal judge blocked the abortion law tonight. You posted before the news broke, otherwise it would have topped the headline (I hope).

Great Green Day song and video. Green Day are wonderful. Fun rabbit hole to crawl into by searching youtube for them calling out random fans to come up onto stage and fill in on guitar for songs. Foo Fighters do it too.

@5 At least its easy to determine who the insurrectionist Trumpers are. Fire them.

I'm proud to have voted for Girmay Zahilay! He is smart,, energetic, and gives a damn about his community.. Anyone who would dump on him is a Karen, indeed.

@5, 6
YES.

Welp, I guess we won't have to defund the police to get rid of a bunch of bad apples. They've just self-selected themselves out.

Bye.

@9 even better news Inslee is doing more to slash the size of government than any republican proposal could have ever hoped to accomplish. I’ll guess we’ll find out now if the state and city gov was truly bloated or all those jobs were really necessary.

I'm not that choosey. If an unvaxxed cop pulls over a drunk driver or catches a thief, so be it.

@14: We're all potential vectors for the spread of the virus, unlike first thought, the benefits of the vaccine is preventing severe disease more than abating its spread. Indeed, it's entirely plausible that vaccinated folks like you and me have and the virus come through us and leave asymptomatically.

That flyer is racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and terribly designed.

17

@13 Yep. I'll be surprised if the real SPD refuseniks number more than a dozen or so. My guess is five or six.

@3 Phoebe in Wallingford: Thank you and bless you, Phoebe! That is good news.
I don't know who to feel sorrier for, US women and adolescent girls in their reproductive years, little girls from birth to their preteens who have yet to experience their first menstrual period, or female refugees regardless of age from Afghanistan.

@5, Sir Toby II, @6 Swiftress (wow-we finally agree on something--yaay!),@7 pat L, and @8 kristofarian: +4 Agreed, seconded, thirded, fourthed, and fifthed. Well said.

We're going after gas blowers now? I mean do you know how much it would cost the city to pay people to rake all those leaves? Something tells me Lindsay Cohen hasn't had to hold a rake in her life. SLOG has gone beyond jumping the shark with this shit

Gas powered leaf blowers can be outlawed:

I thought we had leaf blowers in my neighborhood that were fossil fuel based, but it turns out it's just people with little two stroke putt putt bikes that like to drag on my street, and all the leaf blowers are battery or electric powered.

So, verify first before you blame people for using leaf blowers.

Yes, it's still irritating

@19, what? You never heard of electric leaf blowers? They come in chorded and rechargeable. And with most of Seattle's electric grid coming from renewable sources, it is a vastly greener choice. Duh.

23

@19 Does it really take that much longer to rake rather than blow leaves around? I want to see a study that confirms this. I can anecdotally confirm that most dudes out there with those obnoxious machines could use a few solid hours of raking a day to reduce the size of their midsections. Banning leaf blowers: not only good for the planet but good for the leaf blower operators!
