A federal judge said that a Georgia law banning the state from doing business with anyone promoting a boycott of Israel violates the First Amendment.

In a ruling issued Friday, District Court Judge Mark Cohen rejected state officials' efforts to dismiss a lawsuit from Abby Martin, a progressive journalist and documentary filmmaker, challenging the law.

Cohen said in a 29-page decision that the law "prohibits inherently expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment, burdens Martin's right to free speech, and is not narrowly tailored to further a substantial state interest."

Neat, although I'm not sure how the government is not allowed to tie restrictions to who gets to do business with them outside of race/religion/gender? Not that I'm defending the specific restriction. Just curious

Sprinkle my ashes with those of my dogs in our favorite woods, the oceans and over our favorite overlook so that way some part of us will always be there.

That assumes that we live in a future where civilization exists and Viking funerals are still banned. If that’s not the case, I hope my fellow marauders will put a couple of pounds of tannerite in my chest cavity and use my remains for target practice while a deaf mutant plays “Welcome to the Jungle” on an out of tune guitar.

Donate my organs like my driver's license says to do, then do whatever the gently caress. I'll be dead, I won't give a poo poo, maximize giving my good meat to others then do what you want.

When I was younger and wanted to be an archaeologist I wanted to be buried in some kind of monument type structure along with some time capsule type poo poo that could be interesting for future people to dig through.

Now you can just toss my body in dumpster or whatever. It's not like I'll need it anymore.

At one point I was looking at options to be dragged off the coast and dumped 10 miles out of West Port.

I just think it’s hosed up that middlemen are allowed to make money selling corpses to the US Army or whatever that they get for free. Why can’t I let the Army preorder my body while I’m still alive to spend the money on comic books and candy?

No- they dump bodies in a designated place, and let carrion eaters take it.

Don't donate your body, you will just get sold and cut in to chunks for companies like Synthes to saw on.

At least see if your loved ones can sell you direct, cut out the middle man you know.

Here we go again.
If y'all are serious about an eco-friendly ending then look into natural burial. Turns out that a whole lot of the usual burial practices including embalming and a fancy expensive casket are completely unnecessary and are counterproductive if you actually want to feed the trees.

They're so standardized though that people just assume it's what has to be done, so have the conversation with your loved ones early to make sure they know their options and your desires.

More about why that's a good idea here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcMj4Az1MwE and here's a much more extensive interview with her: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/adam-ruins-everything/adam-ruins-everything-episode-2-death-acceptance-caitlin-doughty/

If there's nowhere close to you that allows natural burial, a) push for it to be more accepted in your community and b) meanwhile look into Jewish funeral homes. Some branches of Judaism require very specific burial customs that do not include things like embalming, and depending on the mortician they may be willing to provide services to goyim.

I found this out while trying to figure out how to handle my estranged brother's body - lots of sudden changes in plans when we found out he had converted.


EDIT: VVV Yeah but so far as I know there's only one place in the US that does it, so if you're not in Seattle you're out of luck. VVV
