Wait, what?

At least the long v. short are quasi-interchangeable, both being 4oz.

What's the Western Canada size?

You probably got a dish set up for West Coast squat butter rather than East Coast long butter.

Long v. Short sticks?

If Nate Silver Twitterites are the "casino," then Bluesky is basically interfaith Coffee Hour.

Goddamn that "LA or Oakland" line felt like fog-horn.

This could apply to so much shit in this regime.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I don't know.

But generally, this sort of thing is ecumenical.
So I wouldn't be surprised.

Rev. Black may be Presbyterian, but faith is faith.

They *like* being seen as evil stormtroopers.

They don't care that people despise them. They care that people think they have power.

And it's why they fucking hate being made the butt of jokes or dealing with sincerity that does not treat them with deference.

They seem to revel in cruelty.

Like, historically people would hesitate to beat the crap out of someone in a clerical collar.

These guys relish it.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

The Third Great Awakening is often linked with the Civil War.

We use the term "pulp-y" for a reason!

TLDR: cops are racist, and it gets used to selectively enforce laws and persecute "undesirables."

Also, Broken Windows is flawed.

But "criminals are idiots, and your major criminals are also probably petty criminals" is not exactly in dispute.

This is just license for organized crime to do bike theft.

I'm reminded of someone on the Old Site having to explain Binary Search to police.

In fairness, he also didn't seem too fond of radio and television.

You can show this picture to any sweaty dork at Claremont and they'll shriek like a kettle.

Man, I need to dig up a picture of the WPA built (and embossed) sidewalks.

We can, in fact, do things.
We just have to care to.

We learned to give a damn and that the only limit on the power of America was whether we cared about something.

And, for good and ill, that spirit would govern this country for the next 50 years.

Doubly striking are the stories of their loved ones.

The CCC didn't just change the natural world or the young men within it. It changed entire families.

I wish the National Association of CCC Alumni had its archives fully digitized.

The stories they tell are truly something.

Simply go into the wilderness, a place that "woke" has never been.

Anyways, ignore all the Subarus you'll pass on the way there and assorted historical markers.

They can deny reality all you want.
Trans-folks still exist in the wilderness. And so does history.

Good men have rules.

Not because they are better than us.
But because they are not.

Is it "faith of the heart"?

Yes, just so! "Originalism" (distinct from just the historical mode of argument) is a philosophy of language as much as one of law,* & it is deeply wrong about the nature of language

*it's actually bad that a supposed interpretive method is a "philosophy of law" at all

Someone is looking for volunteers to help turn the season around in football?

Someone is going to challenge brandishing laws one of these days (not that they're ever really enforced).
