SEATTLE (AP) — The city of Seattle will pay $1.86 million to the family of a man who died of a heart attack after a caution note attached to his address delayed medics' response. William Yurek, 48, died in his town house in 2021 after his son called 911 and arriving Seattle Fire Department medics initially waited outside for law enforcement before entering, The Seattle Times reported. The family alleged Yurek was wrongly included on a blacklist of people known to be hostile to police and fire crews. As Yurek’s condition worsened, his then 13-year-old son called 911 again and was told help was on the way, even though medics had already arrived. “From the beginning, the family wanted the city to take responsibility,” Lindquist said.

☆ Tim Robinson and the Golden Age of Cringe Comedy
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Sam Anderson | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +3 min

This obsession makes “I Think You Should Leave” the perfect comedy for our overheated cultural moment. The panics over “cancel culture” and the “woke mob” — these are symptoms of a fragmented society wondering if, in a time of flux, it still meaningfully shares social rules. “I Think You Should Leave” makes comedy, relentlessly, out of moments when the social rules break down. Almost always, sketches start quietly. By the end of the party, everyone has come over to his side — including the baby, who smiles at him.
