And what will they mean for the future of the conflict?</li><li>“What’s Farsi for Riotgrrrl?” Young Iranians have <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/world/middleeast/women-iran-protests-hijab.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">taken to the streets</a> for women’s rights following the apparent killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after she was arrested by religious police for failing to adequately cover her hair. Could this be a real threat to the Iranian regime? And what will it mean for hard-line President Raisi and the ailing Ayatollah Khameini?</li><li>“Cannon as Anticanon.” Everyone’s favorite federal district court judge Aileen Cannon has had the part of her order requiring that a special master review even classified records seized from former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate <a href=\"https://www.lawfareblog.com/eleventh-circuit-cleans-mess\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">slapped down</a> by the 11th Circuit. Where is the case—and the broader investigation—likely to go from here?</li></ul><p>For object lessons, Alan recommended the long awaited mainstream press treatment of the Hunter Biden laptop story (over Quinta's reservations). Quinta memorialized \"Wolf Hall\" author Hilary Mantel, who <a href=\"www.nytimes.com/2022/09/23/books/hilary-mantel-dead.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recently passed away</a>. Scott celebrated the Renaissance of fantasy television by giving his stamp of the approval to the debut season of <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Power-Season/dp/B09QH98YG1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Rings of Power</a>. And Tyler endorsed both the solo movie date and the documentary <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfxelk8-gTU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Riotsville, USA</a> that he recently took in.</p>","author_name":"The Lawfare Institute"}
