To put this in context, they're making the same argument that Amazon has made to say that states shouldn't be able to charge sales tax for online sales.
A new District of Columbia law that regulates event ticket resales in order to prevent deceptive practices violates the US Constitution “several times over,” a group of resellers says in a new lawsuit. news.bloomberglaw.com/litiga…

PHOS-CHEK® #FireRetardant has been applied along roads in San Diego County for the past six years. Over that time, minor roadside fires have ignited in these high-risk areas, such as Wildcat Canyon, but #PHOSCHEK has prevented them from spreading.

Heartwarming: Raiders kicker Matt Gay made a young fan with Down syndrome's year by stopping to speak with him and gifting him his hat before the game.
One of the best videos you will ever see.

Paramount-Warner Bros. will allocate just $5 million per year to acquire indie films.
The $111 billion deal pledges to make at least 30 films a year and will spend at least $1.5 billion in additional domestic film and TV production over five years.
What does this mean? The company will operate a modestly funded “Independent Film Fund” to buy movies based on original screenplays or originated from film producers operating outside of Paramount, Disney, Universal or Sony.
The wildly optimistic version of this is the company pulls off six micro-budget blockbusters like 'Obsession' (which cost $750,000). But many indie films cost in the tens of millions — particularly if they’re star-driven or effects-heavy. The Zendaya film 'The Drama,' for instance, cost around $28 million. While the budget for the 2024 disaster 'Megalopolis' ballooned to around $120 million.
