  • Well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Now your org gets to pay for cleanup if they don’t just tell the 2 that got arrested “Good luck, you’re on your own now”

    What’s the correlation with Stonehenge and the fossil fuel industry? No one visiting is going to see the vandalism and think “Maybe I should lessen my personal dependence on fossil fuels.”, they’re just going to hear how it was this asshole group that happens to be named ‘Just Stop Oil’. I highly doubt that’s changing anyone’s mind (for the better).

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for activism. Hell, I’m all for destructive activism; Block access to oil wells, sabotage infrastructure (preferably in a way that doesn’t cause more environmental damage in the process), burn down some private jets. But don’t go around being an asshole unrelated to your cause just to get your name out. That’s not helping anything.


  • Fishman sent her maintenance man to deliver a ten-day eviction notice to her door.

    Yeah, that’s not legal. Hope the tenant finds a good lawyer.

    Mun. Code Ch. 5-12-170: Under the 2020 revisions of the RLTO (“Fair Notice Ordinance”), Landlords must provide a tenant that is not in the eviction process: • 30 days of notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, decline to renew your lease or raise your rent if you have lived in your apartment for less than six months. • 60 days of notice for the same if you have lived in your apartment for more than six months but less than three years.

    One of the high-points in my life was having a landlord show up with the local sheriffs to try and force an eviction that up until this point had only been verbal. I happily showed them the state’s tenant laws that said “30 days after written notice is provided” and had a lawyer friend on speed dial if they had any questions. Landlord got so belligerent that the sheriffs escorted them off instead.

    Also a PSA: If you rent, know your rights.
