US appeals court declares 158-year-old home distilling ban unconstitutional (www.theguardian.com)
 

A US appeals court on Friday declared a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling to be unconstitutional, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax.

The fifth US circuit court of appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the non-profit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members.

It feels like I disagree with everything that has been happening lately, so this caught me off guard. I think people should be able to homebrew and distill if they want. I hope exploding apartments and blindness rates don't go up too much.

This sounds great to me. Anything that would increase supply of AI processing could lower demand on the GPU supply. I want to be able to upgrade my gaming computer again someday!

Well, I finally got sick enough of ads and forced subreddit recommendations to search for FOSS social media alternatives. Discovered Lemmy and then finally found Beehaw. Signed up, got approved, and just had my first session of scrolling. It feels amazing! I have the control over what I see that I've always wanted!

So, my week is going pretty good!
