"Hosts" indeed, at least pick one...
I think amenities fees should be illegal. When I asked what amenities, they said "housekeeping, the free wifi, the exercise room".

Pastor alarmed after Trump-loving congregants deride Jesus' teachings as 'weak'
They like the "is Lord" part. The idea of divine royalty and unquestioning loyalty. They aren't so keen on teachings of kindness, introspection, self awareness, caring, mutual respect, humility, poverty, etc.

Analysis: Trump explains his militaristic plan to deport 15-20 million people | CNN Politics
You know how Trump likes to project? First the whole birth certificate thing, and now this. I'm becoming increasingly convinced he is an illegal immigrant.

'This is egregious': Sisters shocked when Toronto landlord raises rent to $9,500 a month
Does that mean the landlord has to charge the next tennant that rate, or was that a special rate just for them? Can they charge different rents fir different people based on whether they like the tennant?

Florida orders universities to ‘deactivate’ pro-Palestinian group
How to make a terrorist. 1. Remove their voice. 2. Suppress their opinions at every level. 3. Ignore anything they say. 4. Leave them no outlet. 5. Leave them no peaceful means of expression. 6. Let that fester and simmer for a long time.

Supreme Court allows Idaho to enforce abortion ban, even in medical emergencies
When I lived in Idaho clothing stores were not allowed to put women's underwear on display. Women literally had to leave the state to buy underwear. (This was before Internet commerce became mainstream - back in the 90's).

How does a startup 'close'?
Often the VC's, if they have control of the company, will bring in "gray hair" managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They'll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

Shit, they've caught on to my cunning plan!
What do you think we are spraying when we spray for mosquitos? Of course it is to help the little flying pests turn Christians gay. Really. Have you ever seen the mosquito population actually go down? Do you really know what is in that spray? You just assumed, and now you too are gay.

The Feds' Vehicle 'Kill Switch' Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy
It seems like this bill assumes 1 driver per car and 1 car per driver. There are plenty of folks who share a car, and plenty of folks who own more than one. Also would the sensor know if you are driving on an icy road or with low visibility due to dense fog? Would it suddenly shut you car off in the middle of winter and leave you to freeze to death?

North Carolina Republicans Enact Highly Gerrymandered New Maps
Partisan gerrymandering only works if people consistently vote for the same party regardless of the candidates. It also helps gerrymandering work easily is that we only have two parties.
