Home listings climb in nation's priciest markets as locked-up inventory starts to shift
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Homebuyers in Seattle, Silicon Valley and the nation's other priciest markets are seeing more properties hit the market as mortgage rates finally start trending lower. The number of newly listed homes for sale climbed 4.2% last month, according to data from Realtor.com. The Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates, but its policy pivot cleared a path for mortgage rates to generally go lower. While mortgage rates rose this week economists still expect them to ease in coming months and that could lead to more listings. Active listings were down 23.2% last month compared to September 2019 and new listings were off 11.8%, according to Realtor.com.

Resurgence of The Rave
Rave culture has blossomed into a living, breathing experience where everyone shares one love: music. Rave culture began to be cast in a somber light, losing its footing specifically in the US, for multiple decades. After the ’90s, raves hit a lull in popularity; eventually regaining their influence in the US during the mid-2010s, rave culture began to resurface on an even larger scale. Rave culture has been uniting people since its conception, and I have had the ability to personally see its influence on those around me. Almost 18 years later, he has reconnected with his love for techno music, but now as a family unit.

Cornell’s Persecution of Momodou Taal is Nothing New - The Cornell Daily Sun
Cornell University has garnered national attention for its unprecedented attempt to effectively deport Momodou Taal, an international student over his brief appearance at a nonviolent protest at the Statler Hotel. McBride leaked documents detailing the University’s attempts to slash financial aid costs to The Cornell Daily Sun. Under the leadership of Interim President Michael Kotlikoff, Cornell is once again punishing students who expose the institution’s hypocrisy — suspending freedom of expression and censoring dissenters to avoid discussions about divestment. However, Kotlikoff overreached in his attempt to impose what he viewed as absolute justice, thrusting Cornell into the national spotlight. Far from crushing dissent, these draconian measures have further galvanized the Cornell community to raise their voices to protect civil disobedience.
