Despite the non-binding nature of the plan, the hearing featured plenty of pushback, including, most notably, from former District One supervisor Jake McGoldrick, who told commissioners, “The western side of the city should not be raped.”

The whole damn city should be upzoned. It doesn't mean that your single family house will be razed for skyscrapers ffs. It just means that greater density is *possible*

Like watching a country commit suicide in slo-mo motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
If these exits hold, more than a win for Boris/Tories it's a loss for Corbyn/Labour. Oh and keep your eyes on Scotland independence movement.
If you really want to depress yourself, listen to this episode of The Daily in which a buffoonish Boris runs on a simplistic slogan, and his voters think they'll get the England of 1960 when he and his cronies want to create a Singapore in the North Sea nytimes.com/2019/12/12/pod…

This is the tipping point I dread the most
We published a beautiful terrifying piece on the climate tipping points back in 2006. All still holds, just risks are greater now: motherjones.com/environment/20…
The same writer, @juliawhitty, also wrote this gorgeous story on the fate of the oceans, also in 2006. Today @ewarren introduced her plan to save them. And they need saving. motherjones.com/politics/2006/…

#Western #MSM in 2010 Promoting #Turkey’s #Erdogan as “The Leader Of The Year & Greatest Example for #MiddleEast Democracy”. Fast-Forward A Few Years, for Western MSM 180 degree Turn: “The Dictator”. Why? What Really Happened? How does it coincide with the #Gulen-Erdogan fallout?
Did they market & sell the original image fraudulently? Are they marketing & selling the current one fraudulently? What was the agenda then? What’s the agenda today? After all we all know that people don’t go from angel to devil, or vice versa, over night! No?!
No matter what your answer, one fact remains the same: #MSM=Fraud; not to be taken as fact or truth bearers, thus, always to be doubted & distrusted. Period.

yoonmin au — opposites attract 🔞

yoongi is afraid of not doing good when having sex with his boyfriend, he lacks experience next to jimin, and he thinks expectations are high. he really wants to take care of him, but starts to realizes he maybe likes being take care of instead.
commission for a nsfw opposites attract extra (if you want an extra for any of my aus dm me for info)

> more than one explicit scenes: barebacking, power bottom jimin, hints of sub top yoongi, oversensitivity
> jealous jimin
> extra for this au:
“Sex on the first date is a must. What if you fall in love and then find out the other person sucks at it?”

That's what Jimin said when he and Yoongi talked for the first time and Jimin tried to convince him to try to hook up with Wooseok instead of just asking him on a date.

(1/n) Thread: Why Republic of India has not violated UNSC resolutions or international treaties.

A) At the outset it's made clear UNSC Resolution No. 47 on J&K dispute has been passed under Chapter 6 of the UN charter. They are mere recommendations and are non-binding.
(2/n) B. Chapter 6 deals with "Pacific Settlement of disputes" Pakistan has tried to alter the status quo after 1948 J&K war by deception by undertaking unilateral offensive wars in 1965 and then 1998. An aggressor cannot be allowed to take advantage of its own wrongs
(3/n) C. The character of the original party to the dispute i.e. Dominion of Pakistan and then Islamic Republic of Pakistan ( West + East Pakistan combined) no longer exists. The dispute mainly revolves around two-nation theory completely disproved by the creation of Bangladesh

This May-Corbyn letter may be conciliatory in tone but is unchanged on substance and quite revealing as to the PM's approach to Brexit... starting with finding the alternative arrangements to the backstop, despite having failed to do so for 18 months...
Next paragraph is interesting "the political declaration cannot be legally binding and.... provides for a spectrum of outcomes". That is quite some admission because it renders much of the rest of the letter invalid. Note no substance on Parliamentary consultation
First bullet point is pure cake on having all access to frictionless trade without single market or customs union. The PM still doesn't realise this is undeliverable, and only offered as a framing device by the EU (and non-binding...)

(1 of 7) Tidbits on Brexit: out of the frying pan, into the fire. EU leaders have approved the text of the Brexit withdrawal agreement and political declaration. The latter is non-binding and outlines both sides’ aspirations for the long-term relationship.
(2 of 7) The former sets the terms of the transition period between Brexit day in March 2019 and the end of 2020, at which point there will be a deal on the future relationship, a one- or two-year extension of the transition period, or the dreaded backstop will kick in.
(3 of 7) The approval process was not without drama. The main obstacle to unanimous support had been Gibraltar.
