The travesty of liberalism — Crooked Timber

"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.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time."

ooooh, I think this is a thing. Disabled people have fought for accessibility & as that gained some cultural traction (NOT ENOUGH, I know!), the word got weaponized. Housing gets built as "accessible"/"attainable," not affordable because "affordable" has a specific definition about how much it costs

CDC flu data is back! I’m so happy I could cry. H3N2 is predominating, especially the new subclade K. This supports the emerging hypothesis that we will have a big flu season. More to come.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

I've been following practically every move Amazon's Ring has been making at a microscopic level for 7 years now--so forgive me that I wrote a thread about the returning CEO's interview with the Verge from yesterday. 🧵
This interview w/ Ring's pro-police surveillance CEO is deceptive in a number of ways.
He seems to suggest police can *only* get footage if you agree to share it, but makes no mention of what happens if police present a warrant straight to Ring.
