Biannual reminder:

Today marks the END of Daylight Saving Time and the START of Standard Time.

DST is the GOOD one (the sun stays out later!😃)
Standard Time is the BAD one (it gets dark so early😭)

We need year-round DST!
slate.com/technology/201…
Inexplicably, a huge number of people mix up Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, and claim they want to abolish DST ***when they actually want to keep DST year-round.*** We need to abolish Standard Time, but we never will until you people finally learn which is which!
These are just the first four examples that came up, there are literally tens of thousands more. All these people actually want to KEEP Daylight Saving Time and ABOLISH Standard Time but we will never reach the promised land until we learn the terminology! Fight the real enemy!!!

I’m just a simple man sitting under a sunlamp trying to make my way to a better world 😓

Simply incredible to hear Thomas and Kavanaugh questioning the sincerity of a death row inmate’s religious beliefs, accusing him of “moving the goalposts,” after unquestioningly accepting the sincerity of religious beliefs against same-sex marriage, trans people, contraception …
Remember: It was TEXAS that repeatedly changed its execution rules, forcing Ramirez to file multiple claims to protect his religious liberty. But here Justice Thomas suggests that *Ramirez* tried to “game the system” and questioned the sincerity of his religious beliefs.
Justice Kavanaugh is very concerned about death row inmates “moving the goalposts” by raising religious liberty claims simply to delay their executions. Has Kavanaugh ever once before accused a religious plaintiff of raising a free exercise claim in bad faith? Ever?

A fascinating exchange in today’s Supreme Court arguments over New York’s concealed carry restrictions. Justice Kagan asks Paul Clement whether the state could ban concealed carry on the subway and university campuses, or at stadiums and large protests. He refuses to answer.
In a colloquy with New York’s solicitor general, Justice Alito expresses empathy for working class New Yorkers forced to brave the city’s allegedly crime-infested subways on the way home from work, asking: Don’t they need to carry concealed guns to protect themselves?
Justice Alito suggests that New York’s concealed carry restriction was passed with the intent to discriminate against racial minorities, Italians, and members of labor unions. If you are familiar with Alito’s jurisprudence on unions and racism, you will understand the irony here.

Chief Justice Roberts does not sound happy with Texas Solicitor General Judd Stone, who resisted his (very good) hypothetical, leading Roberts to snipe: "My question is what we call a 'hypothetical.'" But remember that Roberts voted to block SB 8 from the start.
Here’s Chief Justice Roberts sounding uncharacteristically irritated by the Texas solicitor general’s defense of S.B. 8.
Incredible question from Justice Kagan that gets to the heart of the matter: “Some geniuses came up with a way to evade … the principle that states are not to nullify federal constitutional rights?”

The Supreme Court vacates a lower court decision that had allowed New York to mandate abortion coverage on health insurance plans, sending the case back down in light of Fulton v. Philadelphia. supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
New York exempts churches from the abortion coverage mandate (obviously), but other religious employers demanded an exemption for their health insurance plans, as well. SCOTUS is pretty clearly signaling that the lower courts should grant it.
A pretty stunning order from the Supreme Court's six-justice conservative majority: They refuse to vacate a decision upholding a capital sentence even though *the government* asked them to because the defendant is probably intellectually disabled. supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…

BREAKING: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court DENIES a request to block Maine's COVID vaccine mandate for health care workers with religious objections. Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas dissent. documentcloud.org/documents/2109…
Barrett, joined by Kavanaugh, writes that she declined to block the vaccine mandate in part because it came to the court on the shadow docket—highlighting the fact that she might reach a different result if the court took the case on the merits. documentcloud.org/documents/2109…
In dissent, Gorsuch adopts the Republican Party line on vaccine mandates, insisting that "healthcare workers who have served on the front line of a pandemic" should not be forced to get vaccinated and highlighting their pitiable "plight."

As I said, these people are complete psychos. One protester is now chaining himself to demolition equipment in a hazmat suit. All these lies and stunts to block housing and a grocery store. What an embarrassment.
The current anti-McMillan theory is that McMillan is a historic park that must be preserved (at the cost of keeping Bloomingdale a food desert) ... and also that it's filled with toxic waste and asbestos and presents a massive threat to public health.

Also the anti-McMillan protesters don't actually live near McMillan. They just periodically come down to our neighborhood to stop us from getting more housing and a grocery store. I cannot overstate my disgust for these pathetic lunatics.
