This whole idea of parties ‘lacking standing’ that keeps being used by the SC is absolutely maddening. It’s been a go to for when even they can’t find a reason to support the dictators actions. ‘Well you’re right that it’s illegal, but unfortunately you don’t have the proper standing to make the claim.’

    They've implemented a variety of water restrictions regarding lawn watering, pools, ponds, car washing, etc and have dedicated employees for enforcement. A ton of voluntary assistance programs to remove lawns altogether and mandated new housing have no front grass. Those big water fixtures at casinos are heavily regulated to have minimal water loss. Generally just ahead of the curve on what many cities are recently starting to implement to reduce water use and waste.

    I think it’s going to take Glen Canyon Dam finally being unable to pass water before anyone even remotely begins to take to seriously. As a side, I still can’t believe how dirty Las Vegas was done with the new Colorado Rover plan. What that city has done with water conservation should be modeled by every city in the west, and it looks like they are being punished for something. Makes no sense.

    Bit of a tangent, but just wanted to point out that Sophia Cunningham pulled a Royce White last night. Zeroes across the board for stats, with one foul called against her in fifteen minutes of play.

    Guarantee all of them (and the guy whose fiancee got picked up) will not only still be voting for Paxton, but also straight ticket R. No lessons will be learned.

    The federal government — and thus, American taxpayers — will have to shell out $500 a day until the Department of Homeland Security complies with a court order requiring it to expedite its process for handing over communications shared via the personal phones of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

    Maybe instead of outright buffoonery, the person in charge should actually be held accountable.

    Missed the email for my reservation by a couple days (I’m in the by September group) but luckily after opening a help ticket they gave me a new window to purchase it. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone also misses there and a as a general good guy Steam. Excited to finally get my hands on one.

     

    I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

     

    The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

    The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

    Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

     

    Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

    Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.
