A bike-share firm that may or may not be leaving town; one person who supports razing the Showbox; an ‘answer’ video to the police lip-sync spectacle.

#MeToo allegations against a top local “hip capitalist”; a US House candidate dares call it treason; can business leaders solve homelessness?

The lastest in anti-Jeff Bezos street art; Rainier Bank bond holders finally get paid; Brandi Carlile starts a women’s music fest in Mexico; what Bastille Day means to me.

Another grand U District church building’s about to go away; a beloved local worker’s taken by ICE agents; is Seattle real estate crash-bound, or is that just wishful thinking?

Quotes from the SeaTac immigrant-rights rally; another threat to salmon (and hence orcas); where’s the mystery pop machine?

Luxury apartment glut; immigrant mothers sue the feds; parking-space stickers going away; a parody/nadir in the bottled water craze.

Flying cars (or something like them) at last?; did the state DOL help ICE prosecute Maru Mora-Villalpando?; stop pipelines with wine!

Today: A State Capitol protest against regressive state taxes; Inslee’s carbon plan; a break for DACA ‘Dreamers’; the ‘richest person in history.’

In your big weekend letter: The campaign for a Seattle NHL team commences; the real cost of virtual currency; non-progress in hotel-worker safety; another major Seattle institution approaches its date of death.

In your truncated post-holiday missive: art and the fading visibility of blacks now and Chinese Americans then; sex-while-driving crash; #BlackLivesMatter So White (at least in Seattle); a new place to buy our book ‘Loser’ in person (for a limited time).

These here days of summer may or may not be lazy or crazy, but they sure are hazy. Nevertheless, we take some Visine so we can look at a lack of change in mayoral balloting; landmark designation for the 22-year-old KeyArena; a protest against Post Office job cuts; and a guy in a bear suit serving up $200-a-plate dinners.

Is the Two Bells Bar & Grill, Belltown’s “living room” for more than three decades, doomed for yet another high-rise? (And if not, how will it be saved?) Other topics this primary-election day include still more calls for Ed Murray to quit; Police Chief O’Toole’s odd statement on police brutality; the city’s misguided centralized-IT project; and the death of a legendary local cartoonist/illustrator/weatherman/ski promoter/supermarket spokesguy.

Thursday’s big and small topics include King County’s own country fair coming back from near death; an ex-Amazon exec predicting Costco’s doom; a recent “cyberstalking” suspect pleading “free speech;” Mexico inviting (some) “Dreamers” back; and landline-phone nostalgia.

MISCmedia MAIL remembers the great Adam West, the local guy who became an icon of ’60s “camp” culture by playing it completely “straight.” We also honor the pro-Muslim counter-demonstrators; tick down the days toward a state-govt. shutdown; and mourn F.X. McRory’s.

MISCmedia MAIL raises a glass of Real Soda in Real Bottles to the enactment of the sugary-pop tax. Other observations view the incredibly shrinking Store Formerly Known as the Bon Marché; local corporate giants vowing to keep fighting climate change; big stuff coming to the Seattle Art Fair; and what you probably haven’t heard about the Evergreen State College controversies.
