My life has been a bit hectic this summer. I have been saving this video for a calmer time so I can really dig into it. It is nice to have something to look forward to.

I was able to get two full laps of Grass Can Move Stones today. Wow. Just fucking wow. They got another 4 sides up their sleeve to round out the series. Holy fucking shit. It’s fucking remarkable.
@idekwistb I just wish more people liked the band Fucked Up. They are peaking so hard right now with the Grass Can Move Stones trilogy, which completes the entire 12 part Zodiac series.
The Supreme Court has ruled, 9 to 0, that the federal government can’t strip you of your gun rights for using marijuana unless it can show you’re actually dangerous. The case was United States v. Hemani, a Texas man the FBI charged for having a pistol after he admitted he used weed regularly, though he was never accused of using it while armed.
The law is the same one Hunter Biden was convicted under, and it makes it a federal crime for any “unlawful user” of a controlled substance to own a gun. That phrase was never defined, which left tens of millions of people in states where weed is legal treated as prohibited persons, medical patients and recreational users alike, since the ATF even counted a state card as proof.
What the Court did is narrower than the headlines. It did not strike the statute down in full, only holding it unconstitutional as applied to the facts of Hemani’s case. That means the protection covers people in his shoes, which is most ordinary users, but it is not a blanket pass for every case.
It obviously does not legalize handling a gun while high, and nobody is arguing it should, the same as nobody argues for doing it drunk. Being high with a gun in your hand is the actual danger, and that is where the Court drew its line, which means simply using on your own time is no longer something the government can punish by itself. It can still disarm a person if it proves their drug use makes them a real danger, so don’t go nuts. The 4473 also still asks the question as it has not caught up to the ruling yet, and lying on it is a felony, so keep that in mind.
Gun rights groups and the ACLU filed on the same side here, while the Trump administration defended the restriction it claims to oppose. All in all this is great news for civil liberties.
I hit a decade without booze last year and I wanna celebrate by see Fucked Up l on a Grass Can Move Stones tour.
But I wouldn’t blame them for not doing shows in the US anytime soon.
I’ve had months to dig deep into Year of the Monkey sides A &B. I feel like I’m just getting my head around side 3 and side 4 still feels like a whole new reality..
