  • Enjoy some understated, occasionally creepy photos by Ms. Rinko Kawauchi.
  • Get ready for cool public art coming to a civic infrastructure project near you.
  • Metro’s Ride Free Area is still set to end later this month, with no replacement service finalized. The transition’s probably gonna be rough.
  • Contract talks between Boeing and the engineers’ union are going un-smoothly.
  • There will be a 24-hour diner on Capitol Hill next spring, on 10th Ave. where the gay bathhouse Basic Plumbing used to be.
  • The Stranger asked local artists to fantasize how they’d remake the waterfront. Their various suggestions, together or alone, are infinitely cooler than the official plans.
  • Catholic bishops claim the existence of gay marriage would victimize them. Really?
  • How does a young person get into a journalism career if she can’t afford to take a long-term, unpaid internship? She hopes for an inheritance.

  • Folks love them some sad songs these days.
  • The company behind some of those infamous Facebook games (and their annoying ads and plugs) is fiscally stumbling.
  • Harold Meyerson at the American Prospect says the Democrats recognize people’s “interdependence,” instead of the GOP’s Ayn Randian “noble selfishness.”
  • Here’s the Bill Clinton barnburner speech. And here are the local-interest convention speeches by Patty Murray and ex-Costco boss Jim Sinegal.
