A local sci-fi author imagines transforming ‘oppressors’ into ‘kin;’ a techie dad parses the tech glitches facing remote schooling; a wildfire destroys a small eastern-WA town; a local sports broadcasting legend dies.

Over 60,000 join Black Lives Matter’s Silent March; Capitol Hill protest gets new acronym, attracts ridiculous Fox ‘News’ lies; artist Charles Krafft’s bizarre journey (from ‘alternative’ artist to alt-right supporter) ends.

1/6/20: NEW YEAR, NEW PERIL
Jan 5th, 2020 by Clark Humphrey

Protesting the next war at its potential start while Americans of Iranian descent get detained at Blaine; my days with the (now-splintering) Methodists; what NY State promised Amazon for half of HQ2; the Seahawks move forward.

10/14/19: PREVENTING PAIN
Oct 13th, 2019 by Clark Humphrey

A rally to stop shootings; a task force blames both Boeing, FAA for letting the MAX fly; math isn’t racist but the way it’s taught can be; so much housing being built around here, so little of it ‘affordable.’

10/7/19: BEING THE FUTURE
Oct 6th, 2019 by Clark Humphrey

Young activists’ ideas become an art exhibit; the local CEO inside the Ukraine affair; Boats Afloat Show floats away to Everett; Seattle’s biggest ‘soot polluter’ is a recycling plant.

A giant, complex deal for the city-owned Mercer tract; more primary-election fallout; a China trade war could devastate Washington farmers; FedEx Ground says goodbye to Amazon.

Oct 29th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Making Dungeons & Dragons less mono-gendered; the death of a local jazz legend; prayers for healing and compassion at a Seattle synagogue; a bike-share company wants to add cars.

7/19/18: MAKING TOMORROW COOL AGAIN
Jul 18th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Fake land-use signs for imaginary developments; Olympia’s not the worst town for jobs after all; seven separated refugee kids are detained in WA; could climate change kill the Internet?

3/26/18: MARCHING AS TO PEACE
Mar 25th, 2018 by Clark Humphrey

Scenes from the March for Our Lives; for-profit immigration jail vs. Tacoma; Green Lake fish & chips stand not ‘landmarked’; what’s really behind the Michael Bennett indictment?

12/15/17: WHAT’S SO FUNNY ‘BOUT…?
Dec 14th, 2017 by Clark Humphrey

In your big weekend MISCmedia MAIL entry: Fighting the net-neutrality repeal; money reasons behind the potential big hospital merger; blacks in tech forming their own networks; a message of peace at a time of turmoil.

MISCmedia MAIL FOR 4/17/17: A PALER SHADE OF WHITE?
Apr 16th, 2017 by Clark Humphrey

Today at MISCmedia MAIL, thousands gathered in Seattle to support Black Lives Matter, most all of them white. Also: people who aren’t the Seattle Times editorial board want Ed Murray to quit; the Mariners start winning; the Army helps save fish by killing birds; and what Easter (and its pagan precursors) mean today.

MISCmedia MAIL FOR 4/14/17: THE BIG SOG
Apr 13th, 2017 by Clark Humphrey

What comes after heavy winter precipitation? Heavy spring flooding, of course. We additionally view the spreading hunger strike at the immigration jail; transit fans against proposed ST3 funding cuts; Microsoft wanting to buy its own (mostly “renewable”) electricity; shout-outs against federal cuts to farms and cancer scientists; and the usual gazillion weekend events listings.

4/10/17: HOW THINGS WERE THEN
Apr 9th, 2017 by Clark Humphrey

Today at MISCmedia MAIL, we’re reminded that intergenerational sex was common in the gay-male scene at, or at least shortly before, the time Ed Murray was allegedly involved in it. Also: a high-tech way to burn trash; even more Boeing state tax breaks; and they love us in France!

MISCmedia MAIL FOR 1/31/17: THIS WASHINGTON STRIKES BACK
Jan 30th, 2017 by Clark Humphrey

Gov. Inslee and Attorney General Ferguson are becoming national heroes for speaking truth to cruelty. A lot of other folk are also speaking out, ranging from Jeff Bezos to Amanda Knox. We’ve also got Tim Eyman vs. the Olympia GOP; memories of Tacoma’s anti-Chinese expulsion; Gonzaga reaching #1 in men’s basketball; and a once-prestigious candy brand sold off.
