British Royals use their own titles, or their father’s primary title, in spots where they’d need to use a last name. So Harry’s Army uniform had “Wales” written on it. If William went back to the RAF his flight-suit would have Cambridge on it. The plan for their non-titled descendents is to use “Mountbatten-Windsor,”…

Gerrymandering. The City has six Council seats. 1/6 is 16.6%, therefore to win a single seat you only need 8.3% of the city-wide vote. If you’ve got a segregated city which is 30% white, you divide them equally into three districts then three districts are 10% white, and 10%>8.3%.

When you have a city that’s too small to pay it’s elected officials full-time salaries, there still to be someone in the office to make decisions 40 hours a week. That guy is generally called City Manager. If you’re in a smallish suburb or a small town you do not want to be paying your Mayor a full-time salary.

He had a chance to give us universal healthcare, but he didnt. He had a chance to legalize marijuana, but he didnt. He had a chance to be a strong black man and actually put this country in the rights hands after he left by supporting Bernie Sanders. Instead he chose to be weak and bend over for his corporate…

It’s also very possible to consume 5k calories in a diet rich in Starbucks coffee and organic beef. But the upper college-educated hipsters who rule the culture drink Starbucks, eat expensive organic beef, etc. so nobody would dream of making a documentary showing the negative health effects of 5k calories of those…

He didn’t just eat McDonald’s for 30 days. He ate 5,000 calories of McDonald’s a day. If you’re eating 5,000 calories a day, every day for a month, and you aren’t exercising your ass off your health is gonna tank.

He wants to play. So he’s staying in shape.

If Goodel admitted the obvious he’d basically be admitting Kaepernick’s collusion complaint was justified.

This piece is in that very very annoying genre of hit-pieces: true enough that you can’t call it a complete lie, but biased to the point of complete bullshit nonetheless. In particular it lacks context. It’s like reading the League of the South version of the Civil War.

She may have deleted those special. I can’t tell because if you go to her site today it has a cute “goodbye” message. It’s been that way since April ‘17. If she intends to marry into the family it all had to go down.

She took the whole site down. Probably had to.

Skin tone ain’t that useful.

In policy terms, the simplest solution is usually the best. If San Fran just picked one neighborhood to bulldoze and turn into 25-story apartment towers a lot of those working people would be able to afford a place. But it won’t happen because NIMBY is a true bitch in Cali.

You’re thinking of this wrong. They “would be willing to give police access to your DNA if they have a warrant.” That’s not ‘giving’ the police access. If they have a legally valid warrant they don’t ask for a favor, they just order you to tell them. Fighting it can make sense, if the Judge is doing something weird,…

The Constitution specifies that a warrant “particularly describing the place to be searched,” so it’s unlikely that a Judge would ever say the entire database has to be handed over to the cops. And if the Judge did they could probably fight that in Court.

Dude, “give police access to your DNA if they have a warrant” is a really bad way to think about it. If the cops show up with a legally valid warrant you aren’t doing them a favor by complying, you have to comply. You ain’t giving them anything, they are coming in and taking it. Anyone who tells you they would not…

The US meanwhile, has one black senator...

Election primaries are not controlled by the government. They are determined by the parties, which means Hillary had control over every contest she competed with Bernie. It’s like playing a basketball game with your mom and dad as the referees.

1/28th Creek? How the fuck would that happen?

Fairfax hasn’t said anything. The party, Northam, etc. all swear up and down that Fairfax asked to be off the flyers. They may be technically not lying — if they ‘asked’ him firmly enough he may have said “ok guys, do what you gonna do.”
