Jesus. Good on you for not having any of that bullshit.

Filmed before a studio audience that met an untimely demise.

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.

Fun fact: A team in hazmat suits recently cleaned the bus stop I use every day. So yay! And also not yay.

This is my kind of thread pulling. I like your style.

Depends on the trip. Part of the joy of arriving is the journey you just endured, so might be worth keeping that in just for the existential exhale you get when you arrive.

My wife turned her happy birthday sign into a happy father’s day sign in the simplest, cutest way. I loved it.

One of my all time favorites. Glad you’re enjoying!

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

“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.

Do you know if there’s a way to help from a world away?

I use one too because I’m not away; I’m right fucking here in the office doing all this in-person collaborating management wants so badly.

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.
