Want to help protect Michigan immigrants? Of course you do! PLEASE submit a public comment to the Michigan Supreme Court, who are considering adopting a rule that would prohibit people, who are there for legal business from being arrested for civil offenses.

I would argue that this book wasn't good from the beginning, but love to see dudes agreeing with this take 🙌
I recently read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and couldn’t understand the hype this book has had for decades.

Am I just a philistine or did the book not age well?
