#MakeNietzscheAntiRacistAgain Look up his relationship with Wagner if you need to know his feelings on anti-Semitism. They were strong. He was, first and foremost, a worshiper of strong individuals, but he was not a fan of racism, that was his sister and her nutjob husband.

This is a wonderful idea. I sent one. Our constitution bans cruel and unusual punishment, and that includes preventing sexual harm from happening to prisoners.

Cracked #3, so great:

unfortunate mic placement

you think rape doesn’t occur at Ivy League schools?

I wonder what team he’s on / which building his family donated / which administrator is his parent / how bright and promising his future is.

No wonder Stanford failed to press charges, this guy looks like a total badass.

It’s not zoned for residential use. No one should have been living there.

From the New York Times:

A stairway made of wooden pallets...

Yep. My husband works with some guys who lean libertarian. Whenever they start talking about deregulation and shrinking the government his go to response is that he prefers not getting e.coli and salmonella.

Jay Marsh, 31, moved into the warehouse in August of 2014. “It was kind of exciting at first and then quickly became terrifying,” he said.

A poor connection can result in a high resistance that causes the wire to heat, melting the insulation and allowing an arcing short circuit. If the electrical circuit is set to handle a lot of power, which it might in a warehouse, the breaker won’t trip. For residences they’ve started to require arc-fault breakers for…

Thank you. I served on my state’s Fire Commission for four years. That commission was a mix of firefighters, state workers, business owners and citizens (I was the volunteer fire rep). Every addition, every change, was thoroughly discussed to verify the purpose, the goal, the impact (financially and in any other way),…

Why are we concerned with artists and activists and where they can be artsy? Thus is tragic because of people not because of artistry. We don’t need to do anything special for these people because they are artists or activists. People need affordable housing but just being artsy doesn’t mean you should automatically…

The crux of the liability issue is that the building wasn’t permitted as a party space, and certainly not as a residential space. It was supposed to be used as a warehouse only, and if it had been used properly, there would have been no refrigerators or other appliances — and definitely no music equipment — on the…

I have a relative who has worked in property management for years, and it’s honestly only because the city and management keeps the property honest with inspections that it has held together for so long. So, I’ve never viewed it as a money-making venture for government. Sometimes, in fact, cities are too accomodating.

From what I’ve read it’s seems more plausible that the electrical system was in woeful need of upgrading (mult complaints from tenants) and it couldn’t handle the power needed for the new fridge = short = possible sparks = tinderbox self immolates

Hopefully they get the message. It’s tempting to view code enforcement as merely a revenue source for a governmental entity, but those codes are the result of actual events in which people died.

She was very close to her family. But it was well known in Corpus Christi her dad was not that supportive of her English pop music transition and resented her husband’s support of her. They have retained a tight control over image to protect it from exploitation. It’s so horrible they can’t agree how to present her…
