About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

RESULT: New Orleans has a new mayor. Helena Moreno, a Democrat known as a progressive member of the city council, easily won today’s mayoral race and cleared the 50 percent threshold to avoid a runoff. She’ll replace the retiring Democratic Mayor, Cantrell.

“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

Okay, gang, it’s 1946 and Bette Davis has just finished A Stolen Life in the midst of moving to Glendale, so she’s understandingly tired and needs a good local restaurant and Donnelly’s fits the bill. She’s treating so what are we having?

Not sure anything related to the film industry press frustrates and disappointments me as much as knowing Disney'll take more crap for making any TRON film than they will for trying to make a never was like Leto happen AGAIN. It's the "economic anxiety" of filmed entertainment journalism.

I'm old enough to remember reporters calling it "disappearing" when it was happening in Central and South America

Maggie McNeill @maggiemcneill.bsky.social · 23h

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

So Disney did crossbranding with Grok and other Musk junk for Tron Ares AND pulled in Mr Beast to market to the youths?
