California attorney general race is a fight for second place
Main Post: California attorney general race is a fight for second place
Top Comment:
The law proposed by Attorney General Bonta is not to eliminate cash bail, but instead to set updated annually cash bail schedule and to consider not including cash bail when the defendant and the offense are considered(“nonfinancial conditions will reasonably protect the public and the victim”).
Again - horrible messaging from Democrats. Policy makes sense but it’s easier I guess to say “eliminate cash bail” than to say “revised cash bail schedule”.
From SB 262: “This bill would instead require the Judicial Council to, starting January 1, 2023, prepare, adopt, and annually revise a statewide bail schedule. The bill would require the Judicial Council, when adopting that schedule, to consider the seriousness of the offense charged and input from stakeholders, experts, and other interested parties. The bill would require the court, prior to setting bail, to consider whether nonfinancial conditions will reasonably protect the public and the victim and reasonably assure the arrestee’s presence at trial.”
The University of California / University of Gay Porn fight is honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen in weeks
Main Post:
That’s it. It’s just so dumb and funny. Some UC kids are furiously defending their territory against some people who accurately assessed how easy it was to make “California” into “Gay Porn” and it just keeps happening. Good stuff.

We're mainly a split between UCs Berkeley, Riverside, and San Diego, but yes, this is happening. And we are furiously defending our territory. And even from the other side, yes, it is still hilarious.

Excepts:
Residents of a Northern California community were ordered to evacuate ahead of imminent flooding, and evacuation warnings were in place elsewhere in rural parts of the region on New Year's Day after a powerful storm brought drenching rain or heavy snowfall to much of the state, breaching levees, snarling traffic and closing major highways. [...]
The rain was welcomed in drought-parched California. The past three years have been the state's driest on record — but much more precipitation is needed to make a significant difference.
It was the first of several storms expected to roll across the state in the span of a week. Saturday's system was warmer and wetter, while storms this week will be colder, said Hannah Chandler-Cooley, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
