MAGA Streamer Nick Shirley Just Issued an Embarrassing Correction

Last month, right-wing conspiracy theorist and YouTuber Nick Shirley followed an old woman around Lam’s Seafood, a Vietnamese grocery store in Seattle. He observed her buying spring rolls and tuna, which he incorrectly called spam and sushi. Shirley claims in a video voiceover that the items were “magically $120.” “How come you sold this spam and sushi for $120?” he says to the cashier, who gives him a confused look. He eventually demands to speak to the manager and asks any worker in sight why they’re “letting people commit food stamp fraud.” “You all are committing fraud, this entire block is committing fraud,” he says in the video, which can still be seen on TikTok . Lam’s denied Shirley’s allegations more than a month ago, with its operations manager saying that Lam’s had never participated in any EBT fraud.

It’s a Friday night, and roller skaters are out on the floor at Issaquah’s Rock and Roll Roller Rink gliding to tracks by Duran Duran and other vibey pop hits of yore as a disco ball spins.

Honoring Veterans and Washington Becoming a State

When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, many hoped it would secure democracy around the globe and “end all war.” When America entered the three-year-old European conflict in 1917, some 50,000 Seattleites showed their support with an impromptu parade. One local veteran of the Civil War even tried to enlist. Thousands of knitters made clothing for the troops, citizens in the San Juan Islands and elsewhere around the state also pitched in to aid the war effort, and William Boeing scrambled to win his first defense contract.
