Annual leave through Friday so I can learn to paint Warhammer better, and push plastic tanks around on tables. Then a week-long conference.
Been looking forward to this for a while.

![4-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1: Any plans for Halloween? PERSON 2 with beret: Me and my friends are gonna check out a slab graveyard! (2) PERSON 1: What’s that? PERSON 2: When dense crust subducts, geologists think it might pile up at the bottom of the mantle. [illustration of Person 2’s related theory] (3) PERSON 2: We’re going to hide in the crust and ride it down to see. Wanna come? It’s gonna be spooky! (4) PERSON 1: Won’t that take millions of years? PERSON 2: Lots of time for ghost stories! PERSON 1: I think I’m good. PERSON 2: Too spooky?

![' The dissent argues that sections 1373(a) and (b) do not displace laws restricting information sharing with DHS because "[w]hen a law imposes an express restriction on disclosure, it is that law—not an 'entity, 'offi- cial, 'person,' or 'agency'-that is doing the 'prohibit[ing]'
or re- strict[ing]." Post, at 7 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). But the distinction the dissent draws between laws and those tasked with enforcing them is il- lusory. Sections 1373(a) and (b) prohibit any "entity," "official," "person," or "agency" from "prohibit [ing]" or "in any way restrictling]" the request for or receipt of information regarding immigration status. (Emphasis added.) Those prohibitions necessarily include invoking a law to deny a
request for or transfer of such information.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreie7wl3m4m7en7raadoqp3lrg5uoth65o6jewe6jvh7bitfoedn6im)
