TACOMA - The city of Tacoma will open a temporary warming shelter in the northeast neighborhood by the end of the month, a topic that has caused controversy in the community.
Three out of four community centers in Tacoma are providing services to folks who are experiencing homelessness. The only one currently not providing any services is the Center at Norpoint.

Many of the stickers were the same.
Some said White Lives Matter, some showed a middle finger flipping off BLM (Black Lives Matter), some said Kill your local drug dealer and some had a red line across a cartoon depiction of a Black man. At least one read Ghettos don t produce thugs, thugs produce ghettos.
The Illest Villain: A Tribute to MF DOOM
I. THE GAME IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT IT’S MOST STRANGE
Every villain’s origin, at least the ones worth their weight in blueprints for world domination, is forged from catastrophe of malice or circumstance. This has been recited to the point of cliche over the past number of days, but cliche is simply universal truth repeated ad nauseum. Instead of listing examples and misleading you into thinking I was ever an avowed fan of comic books, let’s cut to the chase scene: the story of
MF DOOM begins with a teenage Daniel Dumile, born to a Trinidadian mom and a Zimbabwean dad in London (more on that later), and adopting the alias of Zev Love X, stealing the show on 3rd Bass’ hip-hop purist quasi-anthem “The Gas Face” with glimpses of the brilliant deadpan wit and internal rhyme mastery which would eventually earn him a spot on hip-hop’s all-time greats list.
