I'm signing out from this account today. The show will continue—can't shut me up—but Twitter is a broken place and I don't want to be a part of it.

Today we have Part 2 in our series on running a small biz in Tacoma. This round we chatted up Umi from @ETCTacoma about life in the rareware biz.
We also discussed niche soccer jerseys, the messiness of the Tacoma Art Museum, and the power of an anorak to conjure nostalgia.

Here's a link to the conversation.
Later this week, we'll share the audio from our Nerd Farmer Live event, and in a fortnight the next episode in our small biz series with Cassandra Williams from Love by the Slice—the best bakery in the city.

A warning to the community: if you are attending #TacomaPride, Masyih Ford—an officer complicit in the death of Manny Ellis—is on duty, along 9th Street.
When I interviewed the folks from @tacoma4all about their Tenant Bill of Rights, one of the things we discussed was the likelihood the city would rollout a watered down version of the policy.
As predicted...

Hey @emirates, can this be my carry-on flying between SEA and DXB? Asking for a friend.

Christopher Rufo, one of the country’s most powerful conservative influencers, rose up in Seattle, one of the most progressive cities.

On this Juneteenth, we have _two_ new episodes from the Sisters on the What Say U? podcast. Here is the first episode today, with State Representative Melanie Morgan. whatsayupodcast.com/episode-…
If you listened to our episode with @Brandi_Buchman about the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy trial, this from the New Yorker is good extra credit listening. A reporter got hours of walkie talkie audio from Oath Keepers, then the feds came knocking.
