"Just the Way You Are" is a song by #BillyJoel from his fifth studio album #TheStranger (1977), released as the album's second single in early November 1977. It became both Joel's first US Top 10 and UK Top 20 single (reaching No. 3 and No. 19 respectively), as well as Joel's first #GoldSingle in the US. The song also topped the #Billboard #EasyListeningChart for the entire month of January 1978. "#JustTheWayYouAre" garnered two #GrammyAwards for #RecordOfTheYear.

Meanwhile Hannah covered The Stranger's daily news roundup in the Slog AM and did a metric fuck-ton of on the ground reporting at protests and the daily going-ons at Seattle city hall.

With the departure of Hannh and Ashley we're basically loosing one of the absolute best publications in town for following legislature and elections news!

All of Hannah's reports:

One series that I'm extremely upset to see The Stranger may not continue is Ashley Nerbovig's "Bad Apples" blog.

Ashley covered Seattle police abuses in a roughly monthly round up of stories that make you question why cops exist at all.

It's unclear after Ashley's forced "resignation" if The Stranger will continue this hard hitting cop abuse reporting.

So, I said this was a drama well naturally there's an alleged sex scene and also some bullshit.

So evidently some people in local "political circles" heard about hot people who also exist in these circles having sex, once.

Nothing bad is alleged during this sex. Just that 3rd parties found out about it & for some reason demanded Ashely and Hannah's help with the steamy situation.

Major Seattle drama I haven't posted about yet two incredible The Stranger reporters, Hannah Krieg & Ashley Nerbovig, have been forced to resign after a dubious "internal investigation".

If you're out of the loop, The Stranger was recently sold to new management, Brady Walkinshaw's Noisy Creek. During this process the workers formed a union.
