Student at Willamette University.
As someone who was in high school two years ago, it sucked that some percentage of students were on their phones at any given time. It really detracts from the cohesiveness of the classroom

Bellingham is actually so cooked. No more lines for gas at Costco, but the 30 microbreweries downtown are all gonna close down. We’ll have the same level of economic juice as Moses Lake or any other small-college town.

On legitimacy: “Whatever the five slave-holding judges of the Supreme Court may seek to maintain, they cannot upset the universal logic of the law, nor extinguish the fundamental principles of our political system.”

“than it has actually pursued, in the entire management of the Kansas question.” Words from the Atlantic in February 1858 which strike me as relevant today. Making a bunch of people mad is not a good strategy for consolidating power today, and it wasn’t a good strategy back then either.
