I walked past a group of adults on a patio on my way home. One of them was explaining the holding in CASA v. Trump. It was all I could do not to inject myself into the conversation or toss off a quick obscenity about SCOTUS, but I managed it, just barely.

We've been at sea for 10 days doing camera deployments and water collection from this fishing boat, and every day there are more and more seabirds hanging out with us, undoubtedly thinking to themselves "these are the worst fishermen I've ever seen" because we haven't brought up a single fish

This thread from Erica is great and doesn't even get into the fact that the Blethen family owns the Seattle Times AND serves on their editorial board in order to dictate who they endorse. They are "political kingmakers" by any definition and use their influence to to achieve preferred policies.
