My kid was real stressed out about seeing the new Pixar today until we cleared up that β€œin theaters Friday” isn’t a one-day event. And to be fair the K-pop singalong and every Ghibli show at the Imax *are* one-offs.

208. The Fifth Circuit Jumps the Immigration Detention Shark Late Friday, two of the nation's most right-wing circuit judges adopted an odious legal claim that district court judges from across the country (and ideological spectrum) have overwhelmingly rejected

Today the SEC filed a proposed final judgment to settle their lawsuit against Justin Sun and his businesses for $10 million and no admission of wrongdoing.

Sun has spent between $112 million and $233 million on contributions to Trump-linked crypto firms.

Kid and I were talking about how this year everyone is constantly sick. Funny that there were air filters in every class room for every school year until now. Funny.
