Pretty good criticism of the notion that the 13th Amendment is where mass incarceration "come from."

Honestly, my big issue with these kinds of narratives that liberals love ("we have this issue because of a flaw in the constitution") is that is ascribes like 10 billion times more coherence to how the constitution influences everyday life than it actually has.

Like I mean, what's the idea here? "Oh boy I, a racist white southern elite really want to run a horrible forced labor system that targets Black people. I thought I couldn't do that, but then I found a sentence in the constitution that lets me do it, so now I can do it!" Come on.

The biggest danger of buying into liberal constitutionalism is that it holds a mythical idea of how people and institutions interact with the US constitution. 99% of the time in reality, it's just throwing something against the wall and seeing whether it sticks, and silently hoping that your practices don't end up in court. People & powerful institutions hardly ever "research" ahead of time to make sure that they're congruent with the Constitution down to the T. Only lawyers delude themselves into thinking that's how these things work. Don't give yourself lawyer brain! Leave lawyer brain to the lawyers.

You would think that the building where Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and Lou Reed's Velvet Underground simultaneously recorded some of their most famous music would have some sort of plaque or historical marker. Instead most people have no idea that this building sits behind the Chick-Fil-A at Sunset and Highland.

The two buildings on either side of it have both been knocked down and are now active construction sites. And although it is not slated for demolition, I don't expect this historic building to survive. I doubt very much that it will still be standing by the time the Los Angeles Olympics rolls around in 2028.

The official address is 1441 McCadden Place. It was here that Frank Zappa recorded the first several Mothers of Invention albums including Freak Out, Absolutely Free, We're Only In it For the Money, and Hot Rats. And it is here that the Velvet Underground made White Light/ White Heat.

Additionally, the Doors recorded Waiting for the Sun in this building, Jimi Hendrix laid down the soundtrack to Rainbow Ridge, the Silver Apples made Contact, and Neil Young recorded Neil Young.
