If you want more celebrity bullshit posts, post 'em. And please note that the two Seahawks posts were by regular actual employees of The Stranger, and one of them was so disdainful as to actually constitute a Golden Globes post.

And the Seahawks game was more important: There's a Golden Globes every year. The Seahawks do not make the post-season every year.

Crime / Robots / Events / City / News Thursday Night: Let's Talk About SPD's Flying, Photographing Drones

Posted by Al Jacobs on Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 8:58 AM

When you think of drones, you probably think of the RC airplanes that kill people in faraway lands.

Fortunately, killer drones aren't included the Seattle Police Department's plan to use the unmanned aerial aircraft for police work. SPD says they'll use the two drones to monitor crime scenes and track missing persons, but some Seattle residents and the ACLU of Washington are concerned about drones compromising peoples' privacy (e.g., the identities of domestic violence victims being captured on tape and then subject to public disclosure requests).

So, to dispel misconceptions about their drone program, SPD brass are hosting a Q&A this Thursday, October 25th at Garfield Community Center from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

There, you'll have the opportunity to ask the SPD questions about its plans to police from the city's skies, and Assistant Chief Paul McDonagh will be on hand to alleviate (or further aggravate) your concerns about the department's drone program.

What I see...

What I hear...

Alter Echo's dub is for world-weary androids of the next century. It is a frightening dub in the galactic sense, and yet possesses in the depths of its electronic furies a calm and beauty that can only be described as the gleam you might see along the rusting shell of a space station rotating through the blue aura of earth's thinning stratosphere.

Occupy / Robots / News "It's a food product, essentially."

Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 9:33 AM

TPM:

On Monday night, O’Reilly Factor host Bill O’Reilly and Fox News host Megyn Kelly sat down to discuss what really happened at UC Davis on Friday and whether campus police acted appropriately in showering a group of sitting students with pepper spray. Their conclusion? No big deal.

“Pepper spray, that just burns your eyes, right?” O’Reilly asked Kelly.

“Right,” Kelly said. “I mean, its like a derivative of actual pepper. It’s a food product, essentially.”

Twitter explodes:

"Mustard gas: it's a hot dog condiment, essentially!"

"Stabbing: It's just acupuncture, essentially!"

"Waterboarding: It's a really high-powered shower, essentially!"

"Arranged marriage: it's just your parents being concerned about your love life, essentially."

"Forest fires: They're tree candles, essentially!"

"Beheadings: They're really close haircuts, essentially!"
