Trial Run: “The United Nations’ top court on Friday ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza, but the panel stopped short of ordering Jerusalem to end the military offensive.” OK, now let’s do Hamas and its Iran backers. And then Putin.

+ Running From the Truth: “Donald Trump abruptly stormed out of court during closing arguments in the E. Jean Carroll damages trial Friday as her attorney was telling jurors the former president is a liar who thinks ‘the rules don’t apply to him.'” (With any luck, this will be one of the last times Trump leaves a court room on his own recognizance.)

+ TikTokShock: “Amy and Ano are identical twins, but just after they were born they were taken from their mother and sold to separate families. Years later, they discovered each other by chance thanks to a TV talent show and a TikTok video. As they delved into their past, they realised they were among thousands of babies in Georgia stolen from hospitals and sold, some as recently as 2005. Now they want answers.”

+ Alabama Execution: Alabama carries out first known execution with nitrogen gas in the US. Now the state’s AG expects more states to follow.

+ Love the Sinner: For hours, I waited (nervously) for Novak Djokovic to turn the match around and add another unthinkable win to his unimaginable record at the Australian Open. But it never happened. In part because he was off his game. And in part because Jannik Sinner was very much on his. Any time Novak loses in a major, it’s news. Sinner ends Djokovic’s reign in Australian Open semifinals.

+ Vintage Clothing: Apparently, a majority of land hermit crab species now use trash for shells. (So I suppose they should thank us?)
