The D.A. is the one to blame. Sure the zoning laws are shit, but the D.A. has discretion about which cases to bring and pursue. They could easily just move the fuck along like they do with any number of other cases they do in the year, but having worked with a number of these dipsticks in a previous life, I can guarantee you they saw it as an easy win and didn't expect to get the attention they did. D.A.s are just as bad as police officers when it comes to selective enforcement and application of the law and should be scrutinized much more closely during local elections.

Normally I'm not one to tear down the creative output of others, but articles like this make it very hard to not do so. It reads like a barely-cohesive list of tangents loosely tied together with a poor attempt at a "lesson," but lacks any substance or voice. What is it trying to say? Even the author doesn't seem to know, beyond waxing poetic (poorly, I might add) about how difficult it is to have a job and how our individual consumerism is creating a class of "undesirable" jobs that can otherwise be eliminated with just a little more mindfulness and self-reliance...I think? Maybe?

At its core though, this to me reads as a poor attempt at defending the wealth class and shifting the burden of responsibility to the individual. Nowhere is there a discussion about the actual issue with CEOs in society (hint: it's not because they exist or don't have a "tough" job, but because the wages and compensation are grossly and wildly out of sync with the product of their indovidual labor), or a discussion about what the author learned in the course of their one week playing housekeeper dress up and how it relates to CEOs in any way? Instead it reads as a privileged teen's incoherent ramblings about that one week they played grown up, while simultaneously testing various blogging and SEO strategies (all the unnecessary links, formatting...etc), all tied together (poorly) with an attempt to set it in the foreground of "conscientious" hot topics like labor, effects of rampant consumerism in modern society, class consciousness, and environmentalism...

I loved the chemistry between Millie and Gatwa in the Christmas special. Hopefully it carries through S14 and there's a good in-universe explanation for the departure.

Love this, but now I'm also realizing how awful my workflow is in general. More than half of the time when I get into a groove I don't even switch directories between tasks and end up just calling the relative path like an animal 😆

You mean "history" right? Right?!

You can comfortably run pihole, unbound, and a VPN like wireguard on a pi zero or zero 2. You can find entire zero 2 kits for under $35 if you're patient

You're always free to spin up your own server and host it if you're concerned about the way your data is being handled. Not something you can do with the corporate alternatives

Do we get a Pixar movie about talking office supplies that have to reckon with the layoffs?!

They're spending taxpayer dollars. They dont give a fuck about costs. Same with §1983 lawsuit payouts

I wouldn't say the first time in history. OG feudalism was great for the wealthy land owners and lords too. This is more of a remix, if anything.
