This story has something in it for everyone.

The town of #SummerfieldNC lies just north of Greensboro, North Carolina, and has seen a transition from rural farming village to bedroom community to reluctant suburb over the past two decades.

#Summerfield's current town council was voted in on a hardcore #NIMBYism platform. Putting that platform into action, however, has led to some substantial consequences for the town, including... (1/n)

@DrTCombs OMG, I didn't expect this kind of sauce at the start of the thread. It's a good time for planners to look for other jobs.

We're gonna look back on how absurd it was that some universities defused protests by agreeing to hold a vote in a few months to potentially divest from a couple weapons stocks, while other schools decided, "we're gonna need library rooftop snipers ready to go, immediately"

@ernie yeah, my wife showed it to me. It is funny, mostly because Heidi Gartner can't keep her shit together, but it goes fewer places than most SNL skits.

Might be wrong here, but seems like this may be a bigger deal than a clerical error as is being widely reported:

Rejected and ‘returned for correction’: Docs for Trump’s $175M bond get bounced >>> https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/rejected-and-returned-for-correction-docs-for-trumps-175m-bond-get-bounced/

It may be that the bond company didn't report their financials because they have insufficient collateral to secure a bond of this magnitude. In which case the bond is no good, Trump doesn't have a bond, and he is out of time.

Let's see how this gets resolved...

jumbanho,
@jumbanho@mas.to avatar

@mastodonmigration I'm guessing this is just another stalling tactic.

jumbanho,
@jumbanho@mas.to avatar

@mastodonmigration I agree it's a story, and the bonding company many not have the collateral (which would have severe implications for Trump), but if it is just a delay tactic, it exemplifies how Trump plays the legal system to his advantage.

    Minnesota is supposed to get a big dump of snow, and I'm crossing my fingers that it hits the North Shore and the Grand Marais area. My kid has never snowboarded on good, fresh powder. It would be great if his second year of snowboarding would end with feet of fresh pow. Plus, they'd groom the Pincushion XC ski trails and I'd get a few km in. I'm only short ~950km of my goal. :)

    Those three weird glyphs on the cover of "Ghost in the Machine" are LED 'drawings' that represent the members of the band. Squinting helps, because…

    (L-R) Andy Summers, Sting, Stewart Copeland.

    I've always revered this record, and it took me well over a decade to realize this insanely obvious thing.

    Trump filed his reply in the immunity issue in the Supreme Court.

    It's so bad it is embarrassing. It is exactly how not to write a legal document.

    To review: The issue now is simply whether the Supreme Court will put the trial DC-J6 trial hold while it considers whether to grant cert (hear his appeal.)

    Ordinarily the order is this:

    💠 Person loses and files a writ for certiorari (which means asking SCOTUS to hear the appeal.
    💠 SCOTUS decides whether to hear the case.
