From the 13-page dissent from Justice Jackson (co-signed by justices Kagan and Sotomayor):

“The Court ignores these critical limits on its equitable discretion today. The Government seeks to enforce a questionably legal new policy immediately, but it offers no evidence that it will suffer any harm if it is temporarily enjoined from doing so, while the plaintiffs will be subject to imminent, concrete injury if the policy goes into effect.

The Court nonetheless fails to spill any ink considering the plaintiffs, opting instead to intervene in the Government’s favor without equitable justification, and in a manner that permits harm to be inflicted on the most vulnerable party. Such senseless sidestepping of the obvious equitable outcome has become an unfortunate pattern. So, too, has my own refusal to look the other way when basic principles are selectively discarded.

This Court has once again paved the way for the immediate infliction of injury without adequate (or, really, any) justification. Because I cannot acquiesce to this pointless but painful perversion of our equitable discretion, I respectfully dissent.”

“Select theaters” == NYC and LA: https://www.neonrated.com/film/arco

First line:

As slow as the box office has been this month, it could have been so much worse had it not been for an unprecedented savior: anime.

Theatrical venues, starved for features whose theatrical window has gone from 6-12 months to a matter of weeks, is basically willing to screen anything that puts butts in seats.

Hell yeah!

Whoopslol; creative posted their Frieren-Wants-To-Get-Vored fanart to the marketing slack…

I don’t know if this would be possible given the bounty’s requirements.

Let’s say you come up with some new firmware for the fridge that replaces all the hostnames on the advertising calls with ‘localhost’. Great. But if all other features on the device need to keep functioning, including any phone-home firmware update functionality, the fridge will re-enshitify itself on its next update. It either needs new fridge hardware (not allowed in the bounty requirements) or some kind of network container (like pi-hole, also not allowed).

So the entire bounty is an exercise in futility. But… perhaps that’s the point.

This is a demonstration of why the law, as written, is fucked and needs to be changed. I think that may be the main point.

This shit is how the Overton window shifts right. I don’t trust any of those fucks.

It’s not just one router model, they’re talking about banning ALL TP-Link products:

The Commerce Department has reportedly proposed banning sales of devices from California-based TP-Link Systems, a company whose products make up over a third of the home router market, according to The Washington Post.

Do the tracks still eat bicycle tires?

Yes, the tracks still eat bicycle tires.

Blah blah blah blah one existing screen in the US…

• Dallas, TX: Cinemark Webb Chapel

…plus 3 more before next year:

• Woodridge, IL (Chicago): Cinemark Seven Bridges
• Colorado Springs, CO: Cinemark Carefree Circle
• Rochester, NY: Cinemark Tinseltown

Exactly. It’s a proven that will only show up at scale, and these little randomized studies will never demonstrate it.

I’ve only seen the animated series, so that.

Barakamon (2014)

After torpedoing his career, a young, lonely calligrapher gets sent to a remote island community where he befriends the local townsfolk and a precocious child. Its quite lovely and I think you’ll like it a lot.

And it looks like someone has put the entire series, with English subtitles, up on YouTube:

I’ll admit that this does sound kind of like a joke suggestion, but I’m serious, after a hard day, sit down, suck up your pride and put an episode or two of Bluey on. It’s a warm blanket on a cold day.

Quick reminder:

Dipavali (aka Diwali) is the Hindu “festival of lights”, a 5-day celebration symbolizing the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma; basically light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

🧐 Hmm.

Halloween, it is said, never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early.
