WHAT A MESS: Texts reveal Katie Wilson’s staff calling the shots during Bite of Seattle mass shooting response.

Within minutes, Wilson’s staff knew they were potentially dealing with a mass shooting. Yet the communications show Wilson’s senior aides, rather than Wilson herself, repeatedly debating how the mayor and her administration should respond publicly.

At 6:36 pm, one staffer noted, “Mayors have historically shown up to mass shooting scenes when they stabilize FYI. Just wouldn’t want to draw a comparison.”

Another responded, “The stabilization part is the key.”

Hours later, as aides debated whether Wilson should appear at Seattle Center or Harborview Medical Center, one pleaded, “I reaaaaaaally think the mayor should go down there.”

To be fair, when Wilson did finally appear, she hardly covered herself in glory.

INDEED:

Historian John Bulkeley adds: “Many of these men are from the Iranian IRGC or other terrorist groups in the Middle East. There is absolutely no way to check their true identities, and the UK doesn’t seem to care. A few days ago, some men were seen loading weapons into a car outside a mosque in Ireland. If this report was accurate, then the West in general has a bigger problem than just Iran.”

IT’S BEEN A BAD MONTH FOR WOMEN:

IT’S COME TO THIS: Dre Greenlaw wonders if Antarctica is ‘a lie’ during 49ers’ Australia trip.

Many San Francisco 49ers plans are experiencing Australia for the first time this week.

Yet, 49ers star linebacker Dre Greenlaw seems to be more concerned with another continent. He made that known during a wild exchange Greenlaw had with reporters on Tuesday morning.

A reporter asked Greenlaw, “Do you have any questions you’d want to ask Australians?” per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. San Francisco is in Australia ahead of their NFL regular season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

“I mean, how far are we from Antarctica? That’s what I got. We’re right on top of it, huh? Does It snow probably pretty bad here? So Antarctica, is it a lie?” Greenlaw responded.

After being told the continent is indeed there, Greenlaw said, “Y’all been there before?”

Hey, back in 2023, NPR warned us that “Antarctica is melting and we all need to adapt, a trio of climate analyses show.” I blame Trump for how quickly it completely disappeared.

UPDATE: Steelers’ DK Metcalf Believes Antarctica Has ‘Civilization Inside Earth.’

When did the NFL become a hotbed of Antarctica thrutherism?
