2/ A quick note on the title of this post: it's a pun/literary reference, NOT an attempt to dismiss masking by equating it with "nothing."

For the past two years, I've been a spokesperson and poster boy for the importance of vaccines, masking, etc.

4/ Litigation of the Week: Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson

Deal of the Week: @Microsoft's $70 billion purchase of @Activision

6/ Finally, a quick reminder:

Judicial Notice is designed to help my readers catch up on the week in legal news, and my "X of the Week" designations are therefore based on newsworthiness/importance/buzz-generation, NOT goodness or virtue.

Thanks!
