HOMELESS ARSON SUSPECT CHARGED: King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged 31 year old Arthur Arakelov with 1st degree arson this afternoon. He's accused of torching nearly 60 boats on a dry storage rack in Lake Union earlier this week at 659 NE … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
STICKY FINGERS: Arekelov has multiple convictions for burglaries, drugs, and possession of theft tools. Several people I talked to on the ground say he is well known in the homeless community and was a regular at the nearby encampments in and around Lake Union. #Seattle 
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Arekelov put down 8914 Aurora Ave N. for his residence. But that's the Aurora Commons homeless day shelter. #Seattle

STUNNING REBUKE: WA state lawmakers like @AKB1968 picking apart @KC_RHA CEO Marc Dones and his "wrong" interpretation of @GovInslee's Right of Way Initiative. Dones' insistence on "permanent housing" delayed King County encampment sweeps. #Seattle @kcexec @MayorofSeattle
MORE SCRUTINY: @KC_RHA Governing Committee meets Thursday and "permanent housing" VS. "congregate shelter" debate will likely be addressed. Who will hold Marc Dones accountable? @MayorofSeattle @kcexec @GovInslee @wsdot @WAStateCommerce #Seattle #KingCounty #Washington #WA
GOVERNING COMMITTEE: Elected officials and influencers have clout in this process. #Seattle controls significant amount of purse strings as well. @MayorofSeattle @kcexec @CMAndrewJLewis @Lisa_Herbold @angelabirney @CMEdPrince @KccClaudia @JoeMcDermottWA

5 YEAR PLAN: Today @KC_RHA released strategy to “Dramatically Reduce Unsheltered Homelessness.” Agency says there will be “measurable, accountable success.” But it’s based on failed “HOUSING FIRST” policy. No requirements for drug addiction and mental health treatment. #Seattle
COSTS NEARLY 12 BILLION BUCKS: @KCCReaganDunn blasting @KC_RHA 5 year plan essentially saying the agency is focused on funding the wrong things. Says it will be a failure and black hole for tax payers. #Seattle #KingCounty #Bellevue #Kirkland #Redmond #FederalWay #Kent #Renton
The potential of this #TikTok deal is interesting, especially when viewed from an Indian perspective and in the context of #antitrust (no pun intended).

For non-US citizens, though, the choice'd remain #Beijing under #CCP or #Redmond under #FISA. More broadly, whether the #EU has the capital / market(s) to 'underwrite' #GDPR remains an open question. And after that India, poss. Russia, there's really only one other 'bloc' left...
Or, looking at it from a slightly different angle, this - plus rest of [Thread] - may be onto something:
