Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Asks: Is It Still OK to Have Kids in Face of Climate Change?
“There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: Is it OK to still have children?”
Yes. And no, that’s not a legitimate question.

Supreme Court Voids Deceased Judge’s Vote - WSJ
The Ninth Circuit’s action “effectively allowed a deceased judge to exercise the judicial power of the United States after his death. But federal judges are appointed for life, not for eternity.”
I do love SCOTUS wit.

Saudi Crown Prince Courts China as Counterweight to Critical West - WSJ
President Xi Jinping told Prince Mohammed that Beijing opposes any effort to interfere in Saudi Arabia’s internal affairs, while the crown prince said his government supports Beijing’s efforts to fight extremism—an apparent reference to China’s crackdown on Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in its Xinjiang region.
Pretty incredible for an Arab nation to turn a blind eye on the mass detention of Uighurs. Even Turkey, not known for human rights, called China out.

Apple Plans to Close Stores in Eastern District of Texas in Fight Against Patent Trolls
To continue to serve the region, Apple plans to open a new store at the Galleria Dallas shopping mall in Dallas, just south of the Eastern District of Texas border.
This is pretty remarkable. Not sure I recall another company moving their presence to avoid a certain judicial jurisdiction. Eastern District of Texas is pretty bad on IP, though.
