Movie Theaters should offer discounted day-of tickets but only if you purchase them at the theater.
Makes it easier to fill otherwise empty seats.
Makes movies more affordable and encourages spontaneity.
Even if the film you came to see is full, you’re more likely watch another movie instead.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.
