The throughline here is that Texas will take whatever position most hurts the powerless.

While this is interesting, it's an op-ed and doesn't belong in news.

I've found that the quality of Reddit comments has degraded over the past few years, with lame jokes and low-effort regurtitated talking points getting upvoted to the top of most threads. Which is fine. I'm full of lame jokes. But it's just not what I'm (mostly) interested in.

KBin, Lemmy, et al. seem to be better but also suffer from a lack of any commentary, interesting or otherwise. I expect that'll get better as more people engage over here.

On the other hand, I haven't been back to Reddit much since the great unleavening.

I tend to be pretty even-handed when it comes to news outlets whose editorial slant I disagree with. Wall Street Journal has done good work.

But this pre-buttal by Alito on its pages is a really bad look and diminishes the rest of their publication in my eyes.

 

The Kalamazoo city commission voted unanimously to approve a new police surveillance system extending to businesses anywhere in the city.
