This is hilarious
Because this happened:
Ahead of his 6/10 appearance at McCaw Hall in Seattle, I spoke to @WilliamShatner today about his brush with mortality, if he's open to collaborating with Ben Folds on a new album, and if he'd consider portraying Kirk for a miniseries. Story later this week on @KOMONewsradio
You guys. I am in Las Vegas for my son’s baseball tournament this weekend. The weekend before an election. In a purple state. Would anyone like to see how campaigning looks in a place where the election is actually up for grabs? I took pictures.
I *think * this sign was vandalized. Or maybe it wasn’t. Or maybe being endorsed by Newsom is a good thing. Or maybe it’s a bad thing. It’s a Rorschach test around here, dudes.
It is wild to me that the rules got changed with 11 days to go until the election. Basically, the state PDC just said we are in the fourth quarter at the two minute warning, and suddenly you can play with 30 players instead of 11.
Welcome to a new era of Washington state politics.
On Friday, 11 days before the election, Washington's Public Disclosure Commission announced it will stop enforcing the $7,500 cap on last-minute PAC donations. Ballots are already out. @kirocharlie on why a decision this big shouldn't land quietly on a Friday.
Pilots win the first game of the World Series, and I have a cap that fits my GIANT head! (8 1/8) #NewProfilePic
Today’s video commentary. Political attack ads are incredibly easy to make, as I learned with a couple hours on my hands yesterday.
Leave it to @KIROCharlie to use AI to make fake attack ads against the SMN team. Is @newsguysully building the backups? Is @mandafactor hiding dogs? Did @LukeKIRO really have surgery — or was it Tahiti? Paid for by the "Harley Charger Foundation."😂😂
Today’s commentary. Some details you might not know about the Bite of Seattle shooting. This is the second time I have covered a mass gang shooting where it’s pretty clear anyone responsible will be able to claim self-defense. The law needs be changed.
Three months after the Bite of Seattle shooting killed Carlos Villalba, 44, and Ashley Whitehead, 56, and wounded a two-year-old boy, a juvenile court judge sent the 15-year-old arrested that night home on electronic monitoring. The judge said there's a "colorable claim of self-defense." @KIROCharlie weighs in on today's commentary.

Huge news: @wsdot_traffic says the lane restrictions on NB 5 across the Ship Canal Bridge could removed over Halloween weekend.
Although is certainly not unprecedented, it’s pretty cool to me that I am out in my backyard in shorts and a T-shirt. The sun is shining. Patio furniture still has cushions on it. And it’s October 20 in Western Washington.
Today’s video commentary. A majority of the justices said a ruling didn’t define what “exploitive” means when banning materials for a convicted child molester.
A convicted child molester challenged a sentencing rule banning "sexually exploitive materials." His lawyers said it was too vague. Six Washington Supreme Court justices agreed and struck it down. @KIROCharlie says ask any parent what "sexually exploitive" means. You'll get an answer in four seconds.
Oh.
BREAKING: President Trump puts new Russia sanctions passed by Congress on hold, saying a waiver is in the U.S. national interest. apnews.com/article/russia-sa…
Today’s video commentary. It’s been a rough 24 hours in the news. I took a few minutes this morning to tell you about some of the good things happening here, and the good people making a difference for women and children getting their lives back.
Last December, @KIROCharlie reported on a boy living in a tent off Aurora with his mom. He didn't know who was listening. A police officer was. Months later, his mom is deep into recovery; the boy turned 10, walked into a classroom for the first time in his life, and last month rode a bus for the first time.
