Looks like it was reverted later?

Moore’s argument compels these courts to grapple with the very substantial body of law that defines corporations and their powers as creations of the states. The Alitos and Thomases will doubtless find a way, however implausible, to wriggle around that, but even if the usual suspects on the federal bench proceed in customary pro-business lockstep, actions like Hawaii’s will fuel in many ways the growing populist and popular revolt against oligarchy and corporatocracy.

We know that we have these scumbag "justices" and yet they persist

Are you going to allow states to issue currency?

The book "dying of whiteness" has a whole section about this. They interview a lot of people who are survivors of gun suicide and find that for political reasons they don't want gun control, even as they admit their loved ones are dead because guns made it so easy to die. One of them even privately says she agrees, but would never say so in public.

Oh yeah there's a lot of them and they're terrible.

I like that someone edited one so instead of saying "one click: job done" it said "one click: job gone"

A lot of people seem to engage with dating with that same energy. You match, they write "hey", and then wait for you to entertain them. A lot of social things are garbage-in, garbage-out.

I'm out of the loop now, but when I was younger there was a weird divide between the youth/young adult stuff, and adult.

The adult stuff was a lot of traditional "sit and listen to a talk".

The youth was a lot more hand on, interactive. "Let's start a bonfire, write down our fears, and throw them into it". "We got people from the community to teach how to make instruments out of junk".

I really liked it when I was younger, and met a lot of kids who were very cool.

Maybe I should see what's on offer around here. I don't want to go to a "service" but I miss the community sometimes.

There's some broken nonsense in conservative world views.

Perhaps chief among them (no pun intended) is the idea that hierarchy is good and natural and inevitable. Flowing from that there's the idea that different rules apply to different people. And the famous "in groups to protect, out groups to bind" thing.

So things like welfare are abhorrent to them. That's messing with the hierarchy! Some people need to be down in the gutter. Without the underclass, then everything falls apart and all their auffering was for nothing, and their sense of self can't handle that.

I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.

I'm not going to gatekeep this but I will be sad when the conversation goes "cool {band} shirt! You ever listen to their live stuff?" and they go "what? It's a band?"

Police should be held individually accountable

I mean, ruff is an opnionated code formatter. I don't always agree with it but I'm very happy I can shut down other people whining with "that's just how ruff does it".
