I'm signing out from this account today. The show will continueโcan't shut me upโbut Twitter is a broken place and I don't want to be a part of it.

Here's a link to the conversation.
Later this week, we'll share the audio from our Nerd Farmer Live event, and in a fortnight the next episode in our small biz series with Cassandra Williams from Love by the Sliceโthe best bakery in the city.

Today we have Part 2 in our series on running a small biz in Tacoma. This round we chatted up Umi from @ETCTacoma about life in the rareware biz.
We also discussed niche soccer jerseys, the messiness of the Tacoma Art Museum, and the power of an anorak to conjure nostalgia.
If you're a @Channel_253 Member and a soccer fan, check the Member Slack for info about our bracket contest for the upcoming 2023 Women's World Cup.
The buy-in is $10. Details in the "Soccer" channel.
A warning to the community: if you are attending #TacomaPride, Masyih Fordโan officer complicit in the death of Manny Ellisโis on duty, along 9th Street.
This is classic from current city council: ignore a problem and ignore activists about a problem. Then, when activists start getting traction introduce watered down policy.
We've seen it before:
Interim zoning regs at the port
Home in Tacoma and upzoning
Police accountability
When I interviewed the folks from @tacoma4all about their Tenant Bill of Rights, one of the things we discussed was the likelihood the city would rollout a watered down version of the policy.
As predicted...

Last nightโs @Channel_253 and @nerdfarmpod event inspired a TNT mini-reunion.
It was good. I love all these people.

First up the boys from Grit & Grain doing an oral history of craft beer in Tacoma.
@CarterCPrice I'm working my way through your recent paper on widening wealth gaps in our neoliberal era. I'm curious, what would be the best way to submit an interview request?

If you live in the Venn Diagram of show listener and Sounders fan, I'll be posted up with some folks from the C253 Member Slack at @DoylesPub for the match vs LAFC tonight.
Christopher Rufo, one of the countryโs most powerful conservative influencers, rose up in Seattle, one of the most progressive cities.
How did that happen?
I spent a lot of time looking into that question.

On this Juneteenth, we have _two_ new episodes from the Sisters on the What Say U? podcast. Here is the first episode today, with State Representative Melanie Morgan. https://t.co/E9RKYEvST8
If you listened to our episode with @Brandi_Buchman about the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy trial, this from the New Yorker is good extra credit listening. A reporter got hours of walkie talkie audio from Oath Keepers, then the feds came knocking.
