Really fucking solid use of land use and “environmental” law here
This is truly insane.
Phil Bokovoy, president of Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods, the group that brought the suit against UC Berkeley, is “pleased” with the Supreme Court’s decision
That might mean a different, denser Berkeley, with new neighbors whom Bokovoy will have to learn to live with. At least part of the time. Before the coronavirus pandemic hit, he said, he spent much of his time traveling and half of the year living in his second home, in another earthly paradise that welcomed him as a newcomer: Nelson, New Zealand.

Good wife don’t tolerate no effeminity. Better just do what she says and be the MAN.
Anyone remember this nice lady?
“In truth, Papini had been voluntarily staying with a former boyfriend in Costa Mesa and had harmed herself to support her false statements,” the U.S. attorney’s office said in the release.
Yeah it seemed pretty obvious something was fishy on that one.
This shit gets me angry like little else. I’m a pretty strong believer that these idiotic conceptions of masculinity are the cause of so much needless suffering.
This illustrates one of the major errors of Ahamri’s book, one it shares with many other conservative appeals to tradition: it is communities that generate meaningful traditions, not the other way around. Instituting a mandatory national day off from most work—really, reinstating blue laws—might very well be helpful to many people’s well-being, but it will not create the kind of thick communal bonds that Ahmari admires. It was the communities to which they belonged that gave meaning to Heschel’s and Melendez’s observance of the Sabbath, although one was public and the other secret. Outside Jewish communities, lighting candles and saying a blessing before the sun sets on Friday evening seems like a pleasant way to mark the beginning of a weekend; within those communities, it communicates an entry into sacred time, a last fire at the threshold of the day on which no fire will be lit. Ahmari would like the observance of a day of rest to mean something more than just taking a break, and because he is an observant Catholic, I have no doubt that in his family or in his parish it does mean more. The context of those communities allows taking a particular day off from work to convey something extra, something that affirms what it means to be a member of this family, of this parish, of this church. We do not so much make this kind of meaning as allow it to grow over us, and this growth requires both time and the right soil. We can no more impose a national Sabbath than we can grow lilies in the desert.

Your pony also asks that we use it’s first name.
You non seasonal living people don’t understand the pure joy and pleasure that you get when you look at the weather for tomorrow and see a 76 degree and sunny day after 3 months of great cold misery. I’ve got an old friend who I haven’t seen in years coming in town to watch wrestling and brewery hop.
PRAISE THE SUN.

True story. I spent nearly all of my childhood living in the tropics and much of that was close to the equator. One thing I never understood while I was growing up is when I would read a book or something and someone would mention what a “nice day” it was and how excited they were about it.
Obviously I understood it in a literal sense. But there was no empathy. I just couldn’t understand why they were so excited. How could someone get so excited about the fucking weather?
I lived in the midwest for a while and I get it. If you really want to get it, try living in Portland/Seattle/Vancouver. I’ve never seen people more excited for “nice days” than Pacific NW folk. They don’t even really get “cold misery”, but boy do they love a sunny day in February/March when it happens.

How was a conviction even possible? What remotely competent judge wouldn’t instruct the jury to return a not guilty verdict for lack of evidence?
If you’re Hertz, and you don’t have a record of the rental despite the guy you rented it to having a valid receipt and weeks of bank records, I’m going to say that’s a you problem.
The guy was running for office at the time. Pretty sure his opponent probably schemed this.
