Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill Wednesday making it a lot easier for farms to get away with funking up the environment and forcing residents to live with noxious smells or polluted water.

HB 1150, titled “Freedom to Farm,” essentially limits the time in which a neighbor of a farm can sue to two years. Lawsuits could come in the form of noise or smell complaints, or any other problems caused by a farm, industrial processing plant, or slaughterhouse.

The bill amends a previous one that gave residents four years max to sue over issues related to a nearby farm.

The bill additionally blocks any non-neighbors, such as an environmental nonprofit organization, from suing a farm….

“Under current law, residents who were there first can protect their property rights any time an agricultural nuisance occurs, even if the nuisance occurs 20 years after the agricultural facility began operating,” she wrote. “Under HB 1150, existing residents can only protect their property rights from nuisances created during the first two years of the facility’s operation. That is not a compromise; it’s an assault on property rights.”

even libertarians would let you sue

This former Olympic Gold Medalist waited too long to get vaccinated because he was an antivaxxer, and died of Covid. I’ve been keeping track of prominent people who die of covid, because if the vaccines didn’t work we would hear about prominent vaccine proponents dying of covid or vaccine side effects. So far, I have found 89 prominent antivaxxers dead of Covid, and zero prominent vaccine proponents I am aware of who have died of Covid or vaccine side effects.

Talk about creepy (the whole story, but in particular, the two deputies)

The woman who claims a Hamilton County Deputy baptized her in Soddy Lake as a way to get out of a ticket was found dead in a residence in Soddy-Daisy Wednesday night, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI).

Stupid psychos. I’ll bet the dog was chipped, which led cops right to this lovely couple even though they dumped it miles from home.

On March 2, 2020, Naperville officers and animal control responded to a trail regarding a report of a disposed German Shepherd. The dog, later identified as “Otis,” was found dead weighing approximately 20 pounds.

An investigation led authorities to Gorski and Norris as the owners of the dog. Investigators discovered that the pair also owned two other dogs, Scooby and Bubba. On March 12, 2020, a search warrant was executed on the home.

In extremely painful local news, it appears I broke the fourth toe on my left foot yesterday.

My wife knitted me a super-warm floor length robe, and yesterday I caught the toe in it and fell.

It is hugely swollen now.

I have a VA clinic appointment on Tuesday, but I’m not sure I can wait it out.

re: #35 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

You would think that, as important as feet are, natural selection would have produced feet that are a lot tougher and less susceptible to pain. A few years ago I managed to trip over literally nothing while wearing ill-fitting sandals. The result was I rolled my ankle with all my body weight, snapping off the very tip of my fibula, cracking a metatarsal, and rupturing three tendons. Miraculously I avoided surgery, but it was easily the most painful event I’ve ever experienced so far, and the first 3-ish weeks of recovery absolutely sucked ass. Whoever thought up feet needed to go back to the drawing board.

Teen who turned down $5,000 from Elon Musk to shut down a Twitter account tracking the billionaire’s jet says he gets too much work satisfaction to settle for less than $50,000 (Business Insider)

A 19-year-old who was offered $5,000 by Elon Musk to shut down a Twitter account tracking the billionaire’s jet told Insider he refused the offer because it wasn’t enough to replace the satisfaction he gets from running the account.

Protocol first reported last week that Musk had approached Jack Sweeney via private messages on Twitter. The DMs, a screenshot of which Sweeney shared with Insider, showed that Musk asked him to take down the account, called Elon Musk’s Jet, saying it was a “security risk.”

Musk had said in a tweet earlier this month that social-media accounts discussing his whereabouts were “becoming a security issue.”

Sweeney discussed with Musk how his bots were able to track the jet and gave technical advice on how the billionaire could make his jet less trackable.

Elevate it, ice it, tape it to its neighbor for support. I hope the pain subsides.

Omaha World-Herald, two hours ago, on the GOP front-runner for Nebraska Governor (his signs are everywhere around here):

Report on Herbster groping allegations sparks firestorm of bipartisan condemnation

Republican candidate for Nebraska governor Charles W. Herbster is facing condemnation from powerful politicians of all stripes — from the governor to every female state senator — over allegations that he groped multiple women, including a state lawmaker.

The Nebraska Examiner on Thursday reported allegations from eight women who said Herbster, a Republican megadonor and CEO of Conklin Co. and other businesses, touched them inappropriately. The women were between their late teens and mid-20s at the time, according to the Examiner, and all the incidents occurred between 2017 and this year.

NYC has an all-trans public school…

But in a school district with a million kids, one-in-a-thousand is enough kids to justify a whole school with curriculum, staff and facilities specially designed for those kids.

We also have a cerebral palsy public school, a severely autistic public school, a pregnant teens school, theater, math, politics & law, various language immersion programs, etc.

Believe it or not, investing in a blue chip stock (which is what TWTR is) is a normal investment strategy for retirement funds. It’s the sketchy stuff they can’t invest in. That said, we all know the stock market is a crap shoot. On the other hand, Vanguard held over 8 percent in December, so they were already a major shareholder.
