Back for a second season — and a second crime to solve — the success of Hulu’s cozy-funny-mournful whodunit “Only Murders in the Building” rests primarily on the shoulders of its three leads, and their blend of ruminative youth (Selena Gomez) and questionable life experience (Martin Short and Steve Martin) comes together once again to unravel yet another mystery.
But the draw this time out, for me at least, is the rich storyline of a side character named Bunny Folger. A cranky old so-and-so with white hair and big round glasses, she is the most hated person in the Arconia, the glorious abode where they all reside on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. She is also the latest murder in the building.

Most of the legislation passed earlier this year by the divided Virginia General Assembly and signed into law by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin will take effect Friday. That includes measures that lifted a sweeping ban on facial recognition technology, expanded hunting on public lands, and added a new criminal penalty for marijuana possession. Another new law toughens the penalty for stealing catalytic converters. The emission control devices have become popular targets for thieves as prices for the precious metals they contain have skyrocketed. The legislation makes tampering with or stealing a catalytic converter a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. It was previously a misdemeanor. New Virginia laws typically take effect July 1, unless otherwise specified.

The U.N. envoy to Libya says two officials from the country's rival camps failed to reach an agreement on a constitutional framework for elections after U.N.-mediated talks in Geneva this week. Stephanie Williams, the U.N. special adviser on Libya, said on Thursday that the influential speaker of the country’s east-based parliament and the head of the government’s Supreme Council of State, based in the west in the capital of Tripoli, could not reach an agreement on the eligibility criteria for presidential nominees.

The North Dakota attorney general has found the sale of a couple thousand acres of prime farmland to a group tied to Bill Gates complies with a Depression-era law meant to protect family farms because the land is being leased back to farmers. The state’s Republican Attorney General Drew Wrigley had inquired into the land sale and his office issued a letter Wednesday saying the transaction tied to Microsoft's co-founder complied with the archaic anti-corporate farming law. The law prohibits corporations or limited liability companies from owning farmland or ranchland, but allows individual trusts to own the land if it is leased to farmers.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from North Carolina Republicans that could drastically limit state court authority over congressional redistricting, as well as elections for Congress and the presidency. The justices will consider whether state courts, finding violations of their state constitutions, can order changes to federal elections and the once-a-decade redrawing of congressional districts. The case probably will be argued in the fall. The appeal challenges a state court ruling that threw out the congressional districts drawn by North Carolina’s General Assembly that made GOP candidates likely victors in 10 of the state’s 14 congressional districts.

Goalie Craig Anderson is putting off retirement for now, returning to the Buffalo Sabres for a one-year contract. The 41-year-old Anderson also played for Buffalo last season, going 17-12-2 and leading the team in wins despite missing a lengthy stretch with a neck injury. The Illinois native has 308 career victories, ranking fifth among American-born goalies, heading into his 20th NHL season. Citing family and health, Anderson had contemplated retirement.
Parents have sued an Ohio school district over a resolution banning the instruction of critical race theory and prohibiting any “anti-racism” curriculum, education or training. The Forest Hills School District is in suburban Cincinnati. The district school board last week narrowly approved a resolution meant to create "a culture of kindness.” A federal lawsuit filed Wednesday calls the resolution an illegal and unconstitutional race-based and content-based restriction. The lawsuit says by prohibiting the teaching of racism the resolution actually promotes racist behavior and asks a judge to stop enforcement of the resolution. The district has yet to comment.
Swedish utility company Vattenfall has unveiled a vast “thermos” that will store millions of gallons of hot water to help heat homes in Berlin this winter, even if Russian gas supplies dry up. The huge insulated water tank located at the Reuter power station uses excess electricity from solar and wind power plants across Germany. The head of Vattenfall's heat unit in Germany said Thursday that the facility can help smooth out the fluctuating energy provided by renewables while providing reliable heat to hundreds of thousands of households. The $52-million tower will be Europe’s biggest heat storage facility when it’s completed at the end of this year, and even bigger one is already being planned in the Netherlands.

A Danish Parliament-appointed commission has harshly criticized the country’s government for its decision to cull millions of healthy mink at the height of the coronavirus pandemic to protect humans from a mutation of the virus. The 2020 decision to wipe out Denmark’s entire captive mink population had stirred strong controversy, particularly as the necessary legislation to allow such a drastic move was put in place more than a month after the cull had started. In its report released Thursday, the commission said Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was “grossly misleading” during a Nov. 4 press conference when she announced that all mink — infected and healthy animals alike — should be culled. The report also criticized other top Danish officials.
In a blow to the fight against climate change, the Supreme Court has limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. By a 6-3 vote Thursday, with conservatives in the majority, the court said that the Clean Air Act does not give the Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to global warming. Instead, the EPA is limited to plant-by-plant regulation, the high court said. The court’s ruling could complicate the administration’s plans to combat climate change.
