Vancouver resident Jonathan Hines makes the case that universal mail-in voting has exposed serious logistical and security failures — from nearly 400 abandoned ballots found near a Renton dumpster to California acknowledging weeks-long primary count delays. He proposes a three-pillar hybrid model built around verified drop boxes, expanded in-person voting windows, and a request-based absentee system. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-the-logistics-crisis-of-universal-mail-in-voting/ #MailInVoting #ElectionSecurity #WashingtonState #VotingReform #ClarkCounty #ElectionIntegrity #Opinion #Politics

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, LaSean Smith, Product and Growth Lead at Google Cloud, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how systems thinking and agentic AI are reshaping the way individuals, small businesses, and enterprises operate.LaSean shares a career journey that spans Microsoft HoloLens, Amazon, a successful startup exit, and now Google — plus a portfolio of small businesses that have served as his real-world AI lab. From a salad shop in Renton to a pre-construction development business in Seattle, he's applied workflow design and agent automation to solve practical problems long before it was fashionable.The conversation digs deep into how to actually build effective AI agents — not by prompting a chatbot, but by thinking in workflows first, identifying where reasoning actually needs to happen, and writing skills that make agents fast, reliable, and token-efficient. LaSean explains the "parcel grader" agent he built for his construction business, why he starts every agent build in a chat interface before moving to CLI, and how the McDonald's SOP model is the right mental framework for getting great output from AI.Boaz and LaSean also discuss the barbell economy that AI is creating — where small players and large enterprises both gain leverage while the middle gets squeezed — why Microsoft's Copilot strategy missed the point, how to think about agent security and identity, and why healthy organizational culture is the actual prerequisite for successful AI adoption.The episode closes with a reflection on what "always changing" really means as a mindset, and why building resilience and systems thinking skills now is the most important career investment anyone can make.This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, operators, and anyone using or thinking about deploying AI agents in their work.---Chapters[00:00] Episode 100 and LaSean's First Jobs[03:30] From Microsoft HoloLens to Amazon to Google: LaSean's Career Path[08:00] What LaSean Does at Google Cloud Today[11:00] The Entrepreneurial Side: Small Businesses as an AI Lab[16:00] The Barbell Economy: Why the Middle Is Being Squeezed[20:00] Building the Parcel Grader Agent for Pre-Construction[25:00] How to Write Better Skills: Start in Chat, Not CLI[30:00] Workflow Thinking vs. Department Thinking[35:00] Why Google Is Generating 75% of Its Code with AI[38:00] The McDonald's SOP Model for Agent Design[42:00] Agent Security for Individuals and Small Businesses[47:00] Enterprise AI: Governance, Trust, and Organizational Design[52:00] The Two-Word Future of Work: Always Changing---Connect with LaSean SmithLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laseansmith/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Professor Tara Renton OBE brings four generations of dental history — and a career built on curiosity rather than ambition — to her conversation with Payman. From navigating undiagnosed dyslexia and a father who begged her not to follow him into dentistry, to becoming the first female chair of oral surgery at King's College London, her story is one of serendipity, resilience, and an almost obsessive interest in the patient behind the pain. She shares remarkable insights into orofacial pain — nerve injuries, psychosocial histories, patients whose chronic pain only begins to shift when someone finally takes the time to ask the right question — and makes a compelling case for multidisciplinary thinking in a profession she feels has been far too siloed for far too long. Sharp reflections on surgical safety, local anaesthetic technique, and the state of dental education sit alongside something warmer: a life philosophy that's disarmingly simple.

Over a career spanning more than 40 years, she has authored over 250 research papers, completed a PhD centred on morbidity following third molar surgery, established a pioneering multidisciplinary pain clinic at King's, and carried out extensive medico-legal work in surgical safety.

Mantic are currently Kickstarting DreadBall All Stars™: The Sci-Fi Sports GameSpend five minutes talking to Ronnie Renton, and one thing becomes clear. He is still, by his own admission, “mentally… only 12 years old.”That enthusiasm has carried him from the earliest days of Warhammer through to founding Mantic Games, and into a modern hobby that looks very different to the one he started in.“I had a pre-order for the very first edition,” he says. “So I've been on that journey from day one.”Now, decades later, he is designing for players who have taken that same journey and no longer have the time they once did.Making games that fit real livesA recurring theme in Renton's thinking is simple. People still love the hobby, but their lives have changed.“I don't have time to spend ages finessing loads of things if I just want to play on a Tuesday night,” he explains.That shift has shaped Mantic's recent output. Where once the answer to everything was a large-scale game like Kings of War, the company now builds across a wider spread. Smaller, faster experiences sit alongside the traditional long-form hobby projects.Renton describes it as two types of game.“I think there's the Forever Game and then there's the now game,” he says.The former is the classic army-building commitment. The latter is something you can pick up, play for a few months, then move on from without guilt.Most players, he suggests, now live somewhere between the two.Bringing in a legendThat shift in thinking is also reflected in who Mantic chooses to work with. One of the more notable recent moves has been bringing in Jervis Johnson, a designer whose influence stretches back decades.For Renton, the decision was straightforward once the idea took hold.“Why don't we go and get the guy that invented the genre to write it?” he says.The opportunity came while rethinking DreadBall. Rather than revisiting the existing game, the aim was to relaunch it in a way that felt fresh, faster, and easier to pick up.“It had to pay homage to what came before, but it mustn't be a rehash,” Renton explains.Johnson's approach reflects that brief. The focus is on clarity and pace, with rules that quickly become second nature.“Once you know it, everything you need is on the card,” Renton says.For Mantic, it is part of a broader direction. Bring in experienced designers, give them room to work, and build games that players can return to easily.“He just knows how to do it from beginning to end,” Renton adds.The danger of listening too muchFor all the talk of community engagement, Renton is wary of letting players design the game.“If you give the keys to the asylum to the loonies, they'll make the game that they think they want,” he says.The problem is not bad intent. It's focus. Players tend to fixate on edge cases and small frustrations, often at the expense of what makes a game welcoming in the first place.“You must stay true to it, but you must clean it up and make it welcoming to new players,” he explains.Fail to do that, and even a well-loved system slowly fades.Solving the real problemsRenton now starts design from a different place than he once did.“What problem am I going to solve?”Sometimes that problem is practical. Terrain that looks good but is also clear to play on. Games that can be set up quickly and packed away without taking over the house.Other times, it's social. Making it easier for players to actually get games in.“I want to come together, have fun, roll dice, and not have to spend all night remembering rules,” he says.That thinking runs through everything from quick-play sports games to simplified army formats.Not instead of, but alongsideOne of Renton's more telling observations is that new games are rarely replacements.“It's an as well as game, not an instead of game,” he says.Players are not abandoning their main systems. They are adding to them. A fast, one-hour game sits alongside a larger project rather than competing with it.That shift has consequences. It means games need to be easier to revisit, easier to teach, and easier to enjoy without long preparation.Keeping the hobby aliveFor all the changes, Renton does not think players themselves have become harder to please. The challenge is different.“There's more choice,” he says.That makes it harder to reach critical mass. A great game still fails if no one nearby is playing it.Which brings him back to the same core idea. Remove friction. Help players get from buying a game to actually playing it.Because in the end, nothing else matters if the miniatures never reach the table.And for someone who has been there since the very beginning, that still seems like a goal worth chasing.

Have you thought about how your children will learn critical thinking skills? Right now, your child is learning what to love, what to mock, and what to call “true” long before they can explain it. That's the quiet battle behind screen time, peer pressure, music lyrics, and the endless scroll, and it's why we sat down with Dr. Renton Rathbun, longtime professor and parent advocate, to talk about raising kids who can actually think. This is an amazing conversation. Full of laughter but also full of wisdom and insight. We get practical about worldview formation and critical thinking for kids, including why simply banning content can backfire, and how supervised exposure plus real conversation teaches discernment. Renton explains why humans are wired as “story brains,” not fact machines, and why every family needs a clear template for meaning, truth, and standards. If you've ever wondered how to help your child evaluate ideas instead of just reacting to them, you'll leave with language you can use tonight.We also go straight at fatherhood and mentorship. Renton makes a strong case that dads drift into escapism when they feel tired or unsure, and that real change often requires an older, wise man to challenge and guide them. We talk about discipline versus mentoring, winning a battle but losing a child's heart, and the power of doing something simple but hard: being present, naming the good moments, and saying “I love you” out loud.You'll also hear the tetherball model that turns fuzzy “opinions” into clear questions: What do you believe? How do you know it's true? Can you justify it?

This week we're heading to the gritty streets of Edinburgh for the visceral, high-octane 1996 masterpiece, Trainspotting! We're choosing life, choosing a job, and choosing to dive deep into Danny Boyle's groundbreaking look at Renton and his circle of friends. We'll discuss the iconic "Choose Life" opening, the pulse-pounding Britpop soundtrack, and how the film balances dark, surreal humor with the harsh realities of addiction and friendship.Since the characters in Trainspotting are often looking for a "fix" or a way to numb the world around them, we're serving up a drink that feels like a bit of a medicinal miracle: The Penicillin. This modern classic is the perfect tribute to the film's Scottish roots, featuring a base of Blended Scotch Whisky shaken with Fresh Lemon Juice and a spicy-sweet Honey-Ginger Syrup.So, grab your glasses and get ready to raise a glass to Trainspotting!Cocktail inspiration comes from Cinema Sips!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message On December 15, 2025, Bloodworks' Renton facilities received a GO NOW evacuation order after a Green River levee failed and sent floodwaters into neighborhoods around Tukwila, Renton, and Kent. For Bloodworks' VP of Laboratory Operations Mike Charapata, the situation felt eerily familiar.

A trade group is begging Washington State to stop taxing restaurants so much. A Democrat state senator grilled a Washington State Patrol Captain over a new report that found racial disparities in traffic stops. // Big Local: A mudslide created a massive backup on Eastbound I-90.

In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Professor Tara Renton, a globally recognized expert in orofacial pain, to explore the nuanced world of facial pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and migraine disorders. Together, they unpack why so many patients suffer from persistent facial, jaw, or head pain despite “normal” scans and what magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) can reveal that traditional imaging might miss. They also dig into local anesthetic reactions, the limitations of pain scales, and how to distinguish between healthy vs. unhealthy pain. . Takeaways Professor Renton explains how magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) can detect nerve irritation that typical MRIs may miss, especially in TMJ and facial pain cases. You'll hear how migraine-related nerve dysfunction can present as jaw pain, facial burning, or unexplained dental sensitivity without classic migraine symptoms. They explore how patients with conditions like mast cell activation may react to preservatives or delivery mechanisms in numbing agents, even if allergy tests are negative. The conversation questions whether traditional 1-to-10 pain rating tools capture the lived experience of chronic nerve or facial pain and what alternatives might help. Dr. Bluestein and Professor Renton discuss how to recognize pain that signals normal healing versus pain that points to long-term nerve dysfunction or central sensitization.

This isn't just another haunted house story. This is a true ghost story spanning nearly a decade — a chilling account of one family's life inside homes that seemed determined to prove the dead don't always stay silent. It began on Christmas night, 1951, when a four-year-old boy in Renton, Washington, saw something impossible: a being of fire crawling out of the family's pot-bellied stove. With glowing red eyes and a body made of flame, the entity danced across the living room before vanishing. That night ignited a lifetime of encounters. In 1956, the family moved to Inglewood, California, into a Spanish-style house that quickly revealed itself to be alive with activity. Scratches under the bed, deliberate knocks in the walls, footsteps that shuffled across hardwood floors at midnight, and doors that opened themselves became nightly terrors. The family cat hissed at empty corners, objects hurled themselves across rooms, and walnuts appeared in strange, deliberate piles. The most terrifying moment came when two brothers saw her: an old woman in a white lace wedding dress, standing in a shed behind the house. Later, her trunk was opened — and inside was the very dress they had seen. She had died in the home years earlier. By 1959, the haunting grew darker: faces pressed against windows, heavy breathing figures smothered children in their sleep, and even fire consumed their garage. The family eventually fled, but the memories — and the questions — lingered. Was it a poltergeist, a restless spirit, or something older still? This real haunting from the 1950s proves that some houses don't just creak with age — they remember. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #Poltergeist #GhostEncounter #CreepyStory #WeddingDressGhost #ParanormalActivity #ShadowFigures #HauntedHistory #1950sHaunting #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

A retired U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot and current leadership instructor describes flying the F-16, the F/A-18, the F-22, and the F-35. He provides lessons from instructing at Top Gun, and the important behaviours for leaders. In the news, Boeing is fined for safety violations, the St. Louis strike continues, the NTSB preliminary report describes the air turbulence incident, and the creation of an aerospace hub at a former Air Force Base. Guest Dave Berke is a retired U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot and current leadership instructor with Echelon Front. Dave is one of the rare few to have flown the F-16, F/A-18, F-22, and F-35. He also served as the Training Officer at TOPGUN, where he led the staff of instructors who trained the students in air combat tactics and leadership under pressure. He spent a year as a ground Forward Air Controller, calling in air strikes and supporting SEALs, Marines, and Soldiers in the Battle of Ramadi in 2006. Dave describes how a Marine pilot ended up flying the F-16 and F-22, and what it's like to fly the F-35B with its STOVL capabilities. He compares different jet fighters he has flown and explains how they are different and how they are similar. We hear Dave's thoughts on ground support aircraft and dedicated aircraft platforms in general. Dave tells us the combat environment is changing and how information and airframe flexibility are key now, as opposed to single-role platforms. Of course, we ask Dave if the Top Gun movies are accurate. His answer is both yes and no, but Top Gun: Maverick is very good from a flying standpoint. Dave tells us the jet fighter career path is more attainable than many people assume. Also, while flying ability is important, being a Top Gun Instructor hinges on being a good teacher. The Echelon Front leadership consultancy takes the lessons from combat and applies them to people's personal and professional lives. In his new book, The Need to Lead: A TOPGUN Instructor's Lessons on How Leadership Solves Every Challenge, Dave describes the 10 most important mindsets and behaviors for leaders that he learned from the cockpit. Order the book on Amazon, available October 21, 2025. Fighter pilot Dave "Chip" Berke. Aviation News FAA proposes to fine Boeing $3.1 million over widespread safety violations Between September 2023 and February 2024, the FAA found hundreds of quality system violations at Boeing's 737 factory in Renton, Washington, and at subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems. The FAA also identified interference with safety officials' independence and proposed a $3.1 million fine, the maximum statutory civil penalty authority consistent with law. The findings include: presenting two unairworthy aircraft to the FAA for airworthiness certificates, failure to follow its quality system rules, and a Boeing employee pressuring another worker to sign off on a non-compliant 737 MAX. Boeing has 30 days to respond. Press release: FAA Proposes $3.1 Million in Fines Against Boeing Boeing Defense, union reach tentative deal to end strike in St. Louis area On Wednesday, Boeing Defense and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers reached a tentative 5-year contract agreement that would end a five-week-long strike in the St. Louis area. Striking Boeing workers reject latest offer However, on Friday, 57% of the IAM members voted to reject the agreement that would have increased the average wage from $75,000 to $109,000. The contract term would have increased from four years to five and included a ratification bonus of $4,000. Boeing says, “...no further talks are scheduled. We will continue to execute our contingency plan, including hiring permanent replacement workers, as we maintain support for our customers.” See: Boeing's Terms of the Strike Settlement Offer [PDF] NTSB describes the turbulence that threw passengers around the cabin on a Delta flight In July,
