at these groups:
Group founded 2011 by Mark Sumner β Phenology is a science that anyone can practice without a lab coat, microscope, or PhD. It's the study of seasonal events such as first flowers, appearance of certain butterflies, etc. People have tracked these dates for decades -- even centuries -- and now there's a place on DK to record your own observations. A casual spot to tell what you're seeing in the park down the road or in your own back yard. |
Group founded 2014 by bwren β The Daily Kos Backyard Science Yardbird Race is a birding competition where, over the course of one year, participants strive to identify the most bird species - by sight and/or by sound - from the confines of their yards. Everyone who is participating in the race will be an editor of the group, which will be a place for announcements about tallies, as well as a place where everyone can access the information that we've all gathered over the year.

βΌ DK Gambling Law Forum 💚 β Diary List β Members β Profile/mission statement:
Group founded 2011by LeftOfYou β A complex tangle of state and federal laws has made criminals of millions of otherwise harmless and innocent Americans who enjoy wagering on games of chance. Rife with the opportunity for selective enforcement, prosecutions under gambling statutes are sometimes pursued against targets sought for entirely unrelated reasons, just like in the War on Drugs. Just like in the War on Drugs, where Big Pharm and Big Booze spend millions to make sure their shit stays legal and nothing else becomes legal, governments and their chosen licensees stake out their gambling monopolies, variously through widely dispersed VFW halls, church basement bingo halls, lotteries, casinos, clubs, etc. Laws change from state to state in a dizzying pattern of what is and is not legal, and, for the not legal, what is and is not enforced. All diaries and authors are welcome here when writing on news or issues relating to gaming law and gaming law enforcement in the USA, from a legal and political perspective.
