Not that it matters much, but Kill Tony has been around since 2013 according to the asshole’s Wikipedia page.

Rad. Would love to read the actual ruling. Has anyone found it?

(I couldn’t find it on the court’s site, so it may not have been posted yet, but shooting my shot.)

Good point and well said. The law in CA only applies to buildings with at least 15 units, it’s opt-in so landlords will only have to pay for tenants who opt for it, and there are provisions for canceling the service for tenants who don’t pay (then restrictions on their ability to opt-in again). That should help mitigate the impact to mom and pop shops.

I somewhat disagree, because landlords have a say by their sheer number and capital. If credit agencies or reporting services want to gouge landlords, that shouldn’t be the tenant’s problem and landlords should come together to negotiate lower prices. I much prefer the built-in tenant protection here of a $10 per month cap.

CA landlords can charge their monthly cost or $10, whichever is less.

I buy my dog a particular brand of dog treat because the damn things smell SO GOOD. Literally like a bakery. I’ve never eaten one, but I take a big whiff of the bag every time it’s open.

We’re talking about American politics, every avenue of which is spun by media looking for eyeballs, capitalists looking for dollars, leaders looking for allies, and egoists looking for power. Sure there are individuals that just want to share their opinion, but there is also no shortage of people who are trying to trick some portion of the electorate.

It’s for worse for sure. What if people didn’t have to worry in their 30s, 40s, and 50s about sustaining their livelihood in late stage capitalism and could instead focus on what makes them happy? I bet “retirement jobs” would look a lot different.

No joke, in certain instances of my profession a few billion is a rounding error. Real money numbers today are fucking enormous.

Hate not getting their way. Hate not having power. Hate democracy. Hate representation. Hate people.

“Beryl? Even our Hurricanes are gender non-binary now.”

That’s what he said in response to the National Hurricane Center posting the latest satellite image of the storm.

It’s not nonsense. It’s a sustained attack on both people and science. This kind of message brings the science deniers and bigots closer together, helping to shore up that base and give it common ground.

Often scammers don’t want to make it less obvious. If it’s obvious and the mark falls for it, it’s a good indicator they’re on the hook and will fall for more. It’s to filter out the less gullible so the scammer doesn’t waste their time. Probably not the case with this situation specifically, but it holds true in general with scams.

Bad title, if the article is accurate. What’s happening is they are trying to repeal an exemption made in 2020 to existing anti-mask laws that were instituted to curtail secret societies and the KKK.

It does not appear that masking for health reasons was prosecuted before the exemption was made for covid. Would it be prosecuted now though is the question.

Oh they very specifically are.
