Just so everyone knows, we've been talking a little bit about TikTok and its legal travails. The ban is in January 19th, right? Isn't that this is fast coming. We're about a month away. We're 30 days away from this. And tick tocks done. Yeah. Well, so on December 13th, the DC Court of Appeals said no to them asking for an injunction against the law. Then on the 16th TikTok file. Dear God, Supreme Court, please come help us. We don't have any time left. Today, the Supreme Court said no to their request for an emergency injunction. But what they did was they've squeezed an entire. Supreme Court petition into between now and January 19th. So it's gonna be yes. So wow, the Supreme Court doesn't usually do that, right? Aren't they usually like slower? Ohh, yeah, so slow. But I the the commentary that I saw that made the most sense to me is that they're compressing this. So that way the current DOJ and the current kind of like set of government that brought this bill and passed it are going to be the ones defending it, which makes I think reasonable sense. So very quickly, everybody be administration, change the new administration. Might have different feelings about this. The old administration should get to dispatch justice here as they see fit, or the court should. And so they just want him. Yeah. Finish, wrap this up before it gets nixed or there's a transition of people, I guess. I guess that seems like a good idea. I think it's reasonable. And then the trouble can do it over the world. Congress can pass a different law. You know, they can. They can, they can go back to the drawing table. But alright, we live in a democracy. There's a there's laws and there's a process for passing these laws. Yes. It it turns out there is a process. We don't use it very often anymore, but we do have one that is in reserve in case we ever decide to legislate. As a nation quickly opening briefs December 27th, right?
