happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day to all those who celebrate!

@coloradosun Maybe the city should buy it, like Nederland and Eldora!

@evan @modulusshift @being isn't this the difference between a "melting pot" society and a "mosaic" society?

Not in Detroit. I fear some of your rage may be location based.

I've read this quote multiple times, over the years:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

It turns out it's from a comment on a blog post moaning about liberals: https://crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/liberals-against-progressives/#comment-729288

The rest of the comment is a lot more interesting than the pithy quote, because it cuts through a lot of the usual noise in leftist discourse.

@lowqualityfacts Some are calling it a slight victory but others are predicting Homan will be worse. The military has already made a deal to store agents and supplies including 5 "air assets."

@Migueldeicaza I read it and had to stop for about 30 minutes to reconfigure my brain

@Tutanota I use DDG

@marcoarment Doesn’t look like I’ll ever make it to Apple HQ after all. It was a “one day” dream but no ways I’m putting myself through all that.

@ebassi I went through the same process. I had seen the quote, googled the history of it, the debate over the real author and then found the post and was in awe at the illuminating argument and the clarity of it.

@sidereal They already don't read bills before voting on them. So we'll have bills written by nobody, read by nobody, which become law we all have to follow. The first people to read laws will be lawyers, after they've already become law.
