When setting up his free-use fantasy tied up on a popular cruising trail, he forgot one important detail: arranging a pick-up time. After nightfall, the wild high-level beasts of the forest come out to play, and how could they resist a stretchy new plaything served on a silver platter?

NSFW Pokemon art by Braeburned. A lucario is living out his free-use fantasy, blindfolded and bound to a slanted info board on a popular cruising trail, at the perfect height for both trainers and their pokemon alike to let off some steam. However, it's now nighttime, and they're realizing they forgot to arrange a pick-up time. They're soon surrounded by huge wild pokemon from the forest: a typhlosion aims his big cock right at his messy gaping hole, while a lycanroc waits patiently to bury his knot. The lucario mistakes them for his trainer at first, before realizing he's in for a long, long night.

New Seattle Poll:

Seattle Wants to Elect Progressives This Fall

In a new Stranger/DHM Poll, progressive challengers are coming out on top across the board. But in the mayoral race, it’s all about voter turnout.

www.thestranger.com/stranger-pol... #SEAelex #WAelex

Infographic titled “Mayor of Seattle” showing polling results from The Stranger. Two horizontal bar charts compare candidate support between Katie Wilson and Bruce Harrell.

The first chart, showing results from all people polled labeled “Total Polled,” shows Katie Wilson with an orange bar at 46% and Bruce Harrell with a teal bar at 34%.

The second chart, showing the results from those polled who are considered likely to vote and labeled “Likely to Vote,” shows Katie Wilson at 42% with an orange bar and Bruce Harrell at 38% with teal bar.

At the bottom, the text reads: “Stranger Polling — Polling conducted by DHM Research, a non-partisan public opinion research firm. Methodology available at TheStranger.com.”

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein.bsky.social · 1d

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:
