If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon

@johnrudoff John this man is GIDDY.

Husband just got the new Harry Potter game and now he keeps referring to today as his "day of jubilee" in case anyone is wondering what a married Friday in your 30s is like.

@hmshowell The "Washington state" versus "State of Washington" discourse ALONE.

So what if the story has 4 em dashes in the first 4 sentences I think it works

I unironically love this. But as a millennial who came of Going Out age in 2013-14: Please, for the love of God, do not let Gen Z revive the business casual clubwear. We were out in these streets with peplum and sock buns.

A note on this WA-3 upset: Back when I was covering the race, a Kent staffer once spent a phone call trying to falsely assert that their campaign had outraised JHB in 2021 Q2.

It wasn't until I made clear I had the spreadsheets in front of me that he conceded it wasn't true.

[Calley Hair @CalleyNHair]

I don't know this guy's heart or mind. The fundraising numbers were close-ish, & I don't like to assume ill intent, so I guess it's possible it was an honest mistake. But my gut said that he was testing the waters with local media to see what he could get away with re: the truth.

[Calley Hair @CalleyNHair]

FiveThirtyEight gave @MGPforCongress a TWO PERCENT CHANCE.

[Calley Hair @CalleyNHair]

Biggest upset in the country in WA-3 right now. Incredible.

I hate watching today's local news carnage. And a reminder to any Oregon journos - @SPJOregon has a layoff fund, we can kick you a bit of $ for bills while you're figuring out your next move. Deets on our website, https://t.co/tdTXHd94mF
