I think they have a lot of Improv experience from somewhere, at least the Interdimensional TV episodes would lead me to believe so.

But for those of you that didn’t heed my warning, should you decide to search the default (default!) GIF library for the word “butt,” you’ll find a sultry My Little Pony doing what no My Little Pony should ever do.

Clearly Apple didn’t think its censorship techniques through all the way. Try searching “tits” or “dick,” for instance, and you’ll get nothing, so it’s safe to assume Apple decided just to block those entirely. “Butt,” however, appears to have made it through. And since Apple is probably pulling from GIF storehouses like Giphy, whatever those storehouses let through, Apple lets through. Which means Apple just sent a cartoon pony vagina to millions of phones nationwide.

Eviction specialists, brothers and gentrification “villains” Bornstein & Bornstein are breaking up. And boy, is it (legally) messy.

Few local landlord attorneys are as storied and vilified as the Bornsteins, who’ve been in business since 1993. The two brothers — Daniel and Jonathan — are known San Francisco-round for their time holding workshops to teach landlords how to legally evict “no-fault” tenants.

Those are tenants who haven’t done anything to breach their leases, for those not familiar with the lingo. The Bornsteins were oft-described as experts at finding every possible loophole to extract profit for landlords.

Remember the Mission District teacher who earlier this year was going to be evicted for using household appliances — you know, in her household? That was Jonathan Bornstein at work.

Jonathan Bornstein also made headlines in 2011, when he represented landlords who sued San Francisco Giants’ pitcher Tim Lincecum. (Even The Freak faced the landlord reaper!)

The Bornsteins are “all about scare tactics,” said Deepa Varma, executive director of the San Francisco Tenants Union. Varma said the Bornsteins have a unique skill to verbally shake tenants’ nerves “when they’re in a vulnerable place.”

Now, the brothers are turning that unenviable talent on one another.

In the filings in Superior Court in Alameda County from September, Daniel Bornstein alleged his brother Jonathan brought home a paltry portion of the law firm’s profits, and that they agreed to split the profits based on who brings in the most clients.

Daniel alleged Jonathan siphoned off more money than he was owed.

Daniel also alleged he provided written notice to Jonathan that the firm would dissolve on May 20, but that his brother “has refused to dissolve the Law Firm to date.”

Jonathan sued right back.

In his San Francisco Superior Court filings, Jonathan provided a signed document, dated 2013, from both brothers that reads they “shall share equally in all profits and losses in equal proportion unless they agree otherwise.”

Daniel recently formed a new firm, Bornstein Law, which Jonathan has called an “illegal business entity” formed to compete with Bornstein & Bornstein — resulting in Jonathan claiming Daniel owes him “in excess of” $500,000 for his trouble.

Cherry on top: One of Jonathan’s “exhibits” is a photo of a computer technician with a twisted up handlebar moustache. Is Jonathan accusing this guy — ostensibly employed by the Bornstein story– of moonlighting as Snidely Whiplash? Hercule Poirot? The U-lock swinging bicyclist from Critical Mass?

Yosef Peretz, a tenant’s attorney representing Daniel Bornstein, told On Guard, “It’s not an easy situation, as you can imagine.”

Peretz said Daniel brought all of the eight or nine staff members from Bornstein & Bornstein to his new firm, leaving only Jonathan behind.

“To some he’s a saint, to some he’s a villain,” Peretz said, but either way, “Daniel is saddened this didn’t work out.”

Hispanic lady at the cashier in a JC Penny's store has a friend come up and add two shirts to the cart. Racist old lady behind them starts going off. The video has gone viral, the lady's gonna be banned from the mall, and more and more businesses are coming forward saying they don't want her in their stores either.
