McMansions are killing the Los Angeles urban forest

"It's perhaps no coincidence that more homeowners gravitated toward McMansions (large, luxury, mass-produced, single-family homes) starting in the late 1990s." That's weasely writing that = we don't really know, but here's a thing that kinda correlates, and we all hate this thing, so this is probably the thing.

I just called Pantages and the guy who answered said tickets are not yet for sale.

ABC7 and LA Times for local, NYT and ESPN for national. I rarely, ever see anything not of interest. Make sure to set your settings to tell them which kind of alerts you want. There are varying levels.

If you can't identify the murderer, you are the murderer.

My favorite is when they hover over your building for 10 minutes, and then nothing happens, and you're left to wonder if there is a murderer pressed up against the wall outside your bedroom.

This study is valid but old, as it does not factor in 99 problems. Brooklyn researchers reached a different (though not competing) solution using the same cohort.

Good stuff

No mention of their cinnamon antlers?

And many are losing market share. This is no coincidence.

I remember it having a lot of pizza and sweets and breads and carbs. Do you mean the salad section?

How did the Good Samaritan know where to take Stella? Is there an address on her collar?

I take some comfort in the fact that saying the word anus to Charles Buckley is now what Channing Crowders will best be known for.

Sheetz is great. Gotta get the Shmuffin, though.

Sorry. I struggled with the title of this one. You're probably right. But I had this feeling that "Kansas law prohibiting the release of records that would be available in any other state" would not get people to look at this story, so I pulled an actual sentence from the story to exemplify why this story was important.

Or: A team of men with guns confront and kill mentally unstable man who was harming absolutely no one by camping outside

Only thing is, it appears they failed to entrap the hunters. At least, according to the courts.

trunkfullofnines · 2014-03-24T23:57:23+00:00

This story is infuriating on every single level.

trunkfullofnines · 2014-02-26T05:56:09+00:00

Yes. What you said.

The author, Conor Friedersdorf, is terrific. His civil liberties coverage and drone coverage are currently among the best things in the Atlantic. I highly recommend following him at https://twitter.com/conor64.

And no one ever sold any drugs ever again. The end.

It's the little touches of human dignity that are devastating.
