https://www.amren.com/news/2022/01/squatter-turns-7m-nyc-townhouse-into-brothel/   Melissa Klein, New York Post, January 1, 2021 Squatters have turned a $6.9 million Murray Hill townhouse into a depraved den of iniquity with poker games, prostitution and after-hours parties, legal papers allege. The papers claim the stately East 36th Street abode, which houses two apartments, turned seedy after tenant Patricia Taub sublet her five-bedroom unit and it ended up becoming a bawdy “members only” club. {snip} The partying started after Taub, an interior designer from Brazil, sublet the 3,000-square-foot $16,000-a-month triplex in November 2020 to Ashley Jurman, court papers say. {snip} Mitch Spaiser, who bought the townhouse in 2012 as an investment, said he was inundated with complaints about the partying. {snip} Spaiser tried to evict Jurman who, in turn, demanded tens of thousands of dollars to leave, according to a lawsuit Spaiser filed through his LLC in state Supreme Court in Augus...

 From sonofseawolf: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-york-governor-declares-racism-public-health-emergency/ar-AAShEnG?ocid=msedgntp New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared racism a "public health crisis," signing an entire package of legislation Dec. 23 aimed at addressing discrimination and racial injustice in the state. "For far too long, communities of color in New York have been held back by systemic racism and inequitable treatment," Hochul said in a statement last week. "I am proud to sign legislation that addresses this crisis head-on, addressing racism, expanding equity, and improving access for all." The new slate of laws address the need for comprehensive data collection on victims of violence and specifically Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders communities that have been ravaged by   hate crimes throughout the coronavirus pandemic . People rally to protest against anti-Asian hate crimes on Foley Square in New York, April 4, 2021. The legi...

 Note: Much of this is cut and pasted from the original source. I do not have the time to rewrite all of it. I trimmed out quite a lot here, leaving the most salient points. Perhaps I will re-write it later in the future. No more of these lessons in evolutionary psychology for a while or maybe ever, these take a long time. Introduction: What do Men Stand to Gain from Long Term Relationships? Why would men want to commit to a relationship at all? It is partly due to women’s preferences. Women want to find a mate who is likely to commit. Men who are willing to promise long-term resources, protection, and investment in children are appealing to women, so men who are willing to commit to the long term have a wider range of women from which to choose. Willing men attract desirable women because women typically desire lasting commitment, and highly desirable women are in the best position to get what they want. A third potential benefit is an increase in the odds that the ma...

Wilson on Sunday, I find myself again reflecting on the complicated legacies of scientists whose works are built on racist ideas and how these ideas came to define our understanding of the world. {snip} His influential text  Sociobiology: The New Synthesis  contributed to the false dichotomy of nature versus nurture and spawned an entire field of behavioral psychology grounded in the notion that differences among humans could be explained by genetics, inheritance and other biological mechanisms. {snip} Wilson was hardly alone in his problematic beliefs. His predecessors—mathematician Karl Pearson, anthropologist Francis Galton, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel and others—also published works and spoke of theories fraught with racist ideas about distributions of health and illness in populations without any atte...

Drive-by shootings were added to the list of aggravating factors for murder charges in 1995. Other aggravating factors include the murder of law enforcement officers, murder...

  Hello all, in case you're wondering why I didn't wish a lot of people here a Merry Christmas, it has nothing to do with me simply not being Christian, or anything like that. I realize that a lot of the celebration of Christmas actually goes back hundreds of years and Yuletide and lots of Pagan festivals and all of that. However, at this point in my life I really just couldn't care any less. My life is a wreck in many ways, and I am all alone living around a bunch of people who are nothing like me, and don't do anything for me. I am surrounded by a shitty cold climate with many biological enemies, on the racial and individual level. Why the Hell would I celebrate some stupid day aside from not having to work or go to school? Now with COVID-19 lockdowns it looks like there are neither. When Days Are Really Important Seeing as how I am an evolutionist, and see things from a scientific point of view, it is just another day like any other as the Earth spins around the sun...

Indian police said on Friday they had launched a hate-speech investigation into last week’s event in Haridwar, in northern Uttarakhand state, in which participants called for the mass killings and use of weapons against Muslims. A speaker at the gathering told the crowd that people should not worry about going to jail for killing Muslims, according to a video that went viral. “Even if just a hundred of us become soldiers and kill two million of them, we will be victorious … If you stand with this attitude only then will you able to protect ‘sanatana dharma’ [an absolute form of Hinduism],” the woman said. The meeting was a...
