My heart goes out to them.

The volcanic blast was deafening.

"The first explosion .. .our ears were ringing and we couldn't even hear each other, so all we do is pointing to our families to get up, get ready to run," local journalist Marian Kupu told Reuters in one of the first eyewitness accounts to emerge from the South Pacific nation.

"We evacuated and then we, all our families, were just running away from the Kolovai area, because the Kolovai is right beside the seashore," said Kupu, explaining the chaotic scenes just outside the capital Nuku'alofa on Saturday evening.

The explosion, which has killed at least three people, sent tsunami waves some 15 metre (50 feet) high crashing ashore on one small island and badly damaged villages, resorts and many buildings on others. It also cut domestic and overseas communications, severing an undersea internet cable.

Can you imagine?

Utah judicial commissioner resigns after calling people ‘heifers’ and other slurs

A law clerk complained about Morgan last summer after she resigned from her position, in part because of his behavior. The findings of fact state the clerk reported that Morgan made her uncomfortable when he made inappropriate comments about members of the LGBTQ community, including referring to them as “homos.” The clerk, who identifies as queer, said Morgan used the term “over and over,” even after she asked him to stop.

The findings also noted an instance when Morgan said, while discussing a request for two women to marry, “Why can’t I get a hot lesbian couple in my court?”

The clerk also reported Morgan would make inappropriate sexual comments towards her while discussing child custody cases, saying, “if we were to have sex,” and then would add, “you’re welcome, by the way,” and would wink at her.

Morgan told judicial officials that this was his attempt to “role play” in an effort to imagine himself in the shoes of those who were appearing in his courtroom.

The findings also say that Morgan gave the law clerk unwanted shoulder rubs, which continued even after the woman asked him to stop.

The clerk also reported that Morgan called another judicial assistant “a heifer.”

Morgan also reportedly discussed his religion with the clerk, the document said, pressuring her to adopt his same beliefs in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I was at least happy to learn that he did not attend law school at BYU (I'll give you one guess as to which law school in the state he went to.)

I had a couple appearances before him in my past practice. Didn't really give me any impression one way or another.

What's the difference, if any, between a judge and a judicial commissioner?

Did he give you a shoulder rub, though?

Whatever happened to our NewMexico judge?

[MartyFunkhouser]

Just read the judicial counsel's opinion on this. They made the right call to recommend termination and the right call to not allow him off the hook by just resigning from his position.

Judicial commissioners preside over mostly family court cases.

This house doesn't look like a Vegas build to me. Just sayin'.

From the comments section it sounds like her mansion is there. Apparently her dad was the guy who invented Apples to Apples and she is tiktok famous for having a chip implanted in her hand (or claiming to) that accesses all the tech in her mansion. Click here to see a doghouse nicer than many people's actual home.

There is snow on the ground in that video tour of the house. Unless she just happened to film that on the one day in the past 3 years where there was snow, that’s not LV. Unless she imports the snow, maybe.
