Additionally, the stars and moon actually exist.

The restaurant was Mioposto in Ravenna.

Here’s the article from a website that isn’t owned by Sinclair media:

https://seattle.eater.com/restaurant-news/87265/mioposto-pizzeria-car-crash-injuries-july-4

A July 4 dinner service at the Ravenna location of Mioposto came to a bizarre and sudden end around 8:20 p.m. when an SUV ran a red light on 35th Avenue Northeast and crashed into the dining room.

“This car just was like maximum speed through the glass wall,” Vania Kurniawati told Nonstop Local News. “It kind of looked like it was a movie. And then next thing you know things came crashing down and I felt glass shards everywhere.” Kurniawati was one of three people taken to the hospital after the crash. None of the injuries were life-threatening, according to the restaurant.

After the Chevy Tahoe smashed through the wall it began to leak gas, according to KING 5. The restaurant staff sprang into action. “Our team’s response that evening was nothing short of heroic,” says Robyn Nielsen, the director of marketing for Sound Restaurant Family, which owns Mioposto. “Jolyn took command of the space, organizing guests and guiding them out through the back door. Garret and Evan physically helped carry people out of the restaurant. Diana reentered the damaged building to retrieve guests’ belongings, and Victoria along with others consoled shaken guests and staff. You never know how you’ll react in a traumatic moment like that, but we’re not surprised our team met it with bravery and care.”

Police say the driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to the Seattle Times, and was not arrested at the scene. The driver “may face significant financial penalties in civil court,” a police spokesperson told the paper.

It’s unclear when Mioposto’s Ravenna location will reopen, as the full extent of the damage isn’t even known. (Mioposto has three other locations in the Seattle area, and a new restaurant in Eastlake opening later this summer.)

“Right now, our top priority is supporting our Ravenna team,” says Nielsen. “Their jobs are secure, and we’re committed to taking care of them throughout this closure.”

This is very valuable context.

For citations, the only references I see to “pronouns” in their github project is in a section called “Human language policy” in CONTRIBUTING.md (link). Here’s the relevant part:

In Ladybird, we treat human language as seriously as we do programming language. The following applies to all user-facing strings, code, comments, and commit messages: … Use gender-neutral pronouns, except when referring to a specific person.

That sounds pretty cash-money to me.

There’s one additional reference in a pull request discussing whether or not to use “we” when referring to recommendations of the engineering team (as in “we recommend” vs “it is recommended”). Minutia.

I’m not as interested in litigating this matter than I am in putting it to bed (along with any and all definitive citations and evidence such that I can refer back to this comment thread in the future when the question inevitably comes up again.)

I think this may be the issue to which you are referring:

While this is troubling to read about, this narrative’s lack of evidence or references keep me from accepting it at face value. Old mastodon chatter (and perhaps deleted posts or scuttled instances) may be difficult to retrieve, but GitHub discussions shouldn’t be hard to find.

So I’m withholding judgement for the moment.

UPDATE: Commenter lime!@feddit.nu wrote this terrific comment that provides confirmation of the above narrative, corrective action that the LadyBird engineering team has taken taken, plus some vitally important context of the entire kerfuffle. A+ work.

The best horror movies of 2025 (so far)

The Shrouds was a genuine disappointment; vaguely spooky trappings and an eye-catching pedigree churning out a dull mystery about the expansion challenges of a budding multinational corporation.

I don’t know what people were seeing in Companion, either. I just didn’t see the magic in it that everyone else did.

It’s nice to see Dead Mail and Best Wishes to All make the list, though. They deserve the attention.

I honestly think the use of u-haul trucks is a fluke. Future deployments will have them showing up in vans and buses.

It’s the elusive search for multi-quadrant musicians that will be palatable to country music fans along with literally any other audience.

There’s nothing particularly exceptional about Fist of the North Star. It was just an especially gruesome shonen manga and anime that found a niche audience that happened to be famished for adult-themed content. The series found itself as the lightning rod for that market not because it was critically any good, but because of all the superlatives that it attained: the goriest, the bloodiest, the most gnarly.

Credit where credit is due: the series deserves respect for breaking those barriers and paving the way for decades of more mature and interesting stories. But I really don’t think the kids are going to dance to that same old tune again.

This one is purely for the Member Berries (see also Ranma 1/2).

The designer of this sandworm certainly knew what they were doing.

This is what quitting Facebook on moral grounds is like when everyone you know has the moral fortitude of wet newspaper.

Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation’s economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.
