    Federal appeals court refuses to restore Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee.

    Judge Leo Sorokin struck down the fees in June. The White House appealed, but the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals declined to block the ruling while the government pursues its appeal. The three-judge panel said the administration didn’t provide convincing evidence that it was likely to succeed in its efforts.

    In addition to the new season, three extended-length episodes have also been greenlit, including a Christmas special for 2027. And, unlike season 13, this one won’t drop in one giant, bingable chunk. Season 14 will return to weekly episodes.

    Guillermo Del Toro says ‘absolutely no goddamn AI’ was used in the Pan’s Labyrinth remaster.

    During a Comic-Con panel about the film’s return to theaters, the director reiterated his hatred of all things AI, telling the crowd:

    “What we’re protecting is the beauty and the redeeming power of art. It’s not about who gets the job. We are protecting a lineage of art. If we cut a generation of people from learning their craft, you’re cutting the rest of the history of that medium away from them for what? … I chose good. You have to put in time. You have to do every element by hand. A human made a decision of depth.”
