I English good. Daylight Saving Time should be permanent. Views my own. Have you heard about civil forfeiture? It's messed up.

He and his ilk want it independent from actual Hawaiians.

Hearing my wife talk to her health insurance provider should be enough to radicalize anyone against the system.

Knowing that so many people have it worse should be enough for riots.

Understanding that it’s not fixed because people believe others don’t deserve healthcare makes me question humanity.

Played @peterlmcpherson.bsky.social’s Lodge on BGA.

What a delight! The art and theme are on point! And despite my frustration with communal resource boards, it’s abundant enough that I can deal with loosing the room I was eyeing two turns ago.

This might just replace Space Base for me.

Kind of expecting Trump to try and remove the cherry trees soon because they symbolize friendship with a non-white country.

So I thought because I am out on paternity leave I wouldn’t be affected by DST. But I was. Honestly, while I think it should be permanent, I would just as happily see it abolished.

We need to stop changing clocks, it’s stupid and harmful.

Bullshit reasoning.

The needed therapy is for parents. Not for kids.

My conversation took a total of three sentences and there were no follow-up questions afterwards.

Anyone scared of the topic needs therapy.

I’m sorry, but paternity leave is fucking bonkers. You mean I get to hang out with my wife and kid all day, making sure that the house is functioning and bonding with the baby?

This is amazing and it’s sad it’s not more available.

Walberg, Raskin Lead Bipartisan Effort to Curb Civil Asset Forfeiture Abuse Today, Congressmen Tim Walberg (R-MI) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) introduced the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act, a comprehensive reform to our nation's civil asset forfeiture laws.

It's becoming an annual reminder: bipartisan Civil Forfeiture Reform has been stuck in the house for years.

But for some reason, there was other news on Friday and it's reintroduction was a little overshadowed...

INTRODUCTION
Defendants filed two motions to dismiss some of Leo's claims. This brief deals with
the Partial Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's APA claims (ECF 57). Because Defendants scantly
mention the merits, this brief mostly focuses on Leo's ability to seek relief from three
Department of Homeland Security policies that allow immigration officers to raid Leo's
worksites without a warrant, detain him without particularized suspicion, and continue to
hold him after he dispelled any doubt about his lawful presence. This Court should deny
the motion to ensure that innocent U.S. citizens like Leo can work in the construction
industry without fear that the federal government will treat them like criminals.

claims that, because the policies are unconstitutional, they should be set aside under
Section 706(2)(B) of the APA. Count III claims that the policies exceed DHS's statutory
authorization. See 5 U.S.C. Β§ 706(2)(C). And Count IV claims that the policies violate
DHS's regulations. See id. Β§ 706(2)(A), (D).
Defendants don't question the merits of Leo's claims. Their only merits arguments
are that (1) Leo lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy in his worksites and, again,
(2) the policies don't exist. But the second one doesn't get them anywhere. A Rule 12(b) (6) motion is not the time to dispute Leo's factual allegations (though, that doesn't stop them from trying). See MTD 12-13. Leo will explain in Section III.A.1 why he can challenge the
Warrantless Entry Policy, and then quickly go through his remaining, unchallenged claims.

We filed our brief opposing the gov’s motion to dismiss our case against the ICE raids of construction sites in Alabama.

Remarkably, they don’t even argue any of it is legal. They just don’t think anyone should be able to stop them.

Kind of want them to move forward with this so we have a place to put all of the Trump trash once he is out of office.

Take his name from the Kennedy Center, US IoP, all the unsold National Park passes, pile it all up and implode the arch on top of it.

Let that be the man's memorial.

Healing the country is demanding accountability for those who have wronged it.

If you won’t divest ill-gotten gains from this admin’s tenure, seek criminal liability for unconstitutional acts, and abolish qualified immunity, you don’t want to heal anything, only paper over a festering wound.

CBP already does this with vehicles seized in inland checkpoints.

They will take a vehicle (and all cell phones) from someone they suspect has been "smuggling aliens," and then drop them off at random times, random places, and often with no money or support to get home.

The COO of AEG beclowning himself on LinkedIn about relying on AI for new board games.

Just like that jabberwocky trying to make an AI movie, the COO of @alderaceg.bsky.social is the kind of asshole to try and crowdsource their next game and feed it into an AI, hoping for magic.

It’s sad, because I would describe myself as a loyal AEG customer for the last 20 years.

Articles like this vex me.

500,000 are reported missing each year. But there are only 100,000 missing people at any time, so the great majority are found.

If only 18k people are murdered each year in the US, there is not some vast kindnap-to-murder pipeline like these stories intimate.

This is an actual thing that happens (though if you are playing a six hour Wingspan game, no one is getting the rules right)!

And it’s a great reminder: it’s ok to put the game away if you aren’t having fun.
