Speaker 2: provided for you, like my noble and learned friend opposite.
Speaker 2: But in the immigration system, because it's technically civil, you

Speaker 2: these children are leaving very difficult situations domestic abuse, abandonment, trafficking, enslavement,
Speaker 2: and they are coming here. They're coming here for help
Speaker 2: and protection, try or try and be reunited with family
Speaker 2: members who are already here who are able to care
Speaker 2: for them. And Kind helps helps reach out to these
Speaker 2: children where they are, where they have been detained, listen
Speaker 2: to their stories, and get them connected to to attorneys
Speaker 2: that might be able to help, whether Kind themselves or
Speaker 2: more often volunteer attorneys. So I have I have been
Speaker 2: a volunteer attorney representing children pro bono for Kind on
Speaker 2: several occasions over the last several years. It's been some
Speaker 2: of the best work that we've done. You know, a

Speaker 2: they're like kids, right and talk about the normal kid
Speaker 2: stuff like getting settled in at school and you know,

Speaker 2: is support kind dot org and UH and those of you, uh,
Speaker 2: those of you who are lawyers in the audience, give
Speaker 2: them a look and UH and UH spare a thought.

Speaker 3: it because I've heard so many people say like, oh, man.
Speaker 5: I have read that book, and I can tell you
Speaker 5: I remember nothing about it.
Speaker 4: All I remember is like.
Speaker 5: Like all the V two rocket sites or places where

Speaker 4: The book is also a.
Speaker 5: Great mixer genres. He goes from like like fifteenth century

Speaker 3: a book. That'd be eye catching if you're at a

Speaker 5: between two friends, childhood friends and the kind of turbulent
Speaker 5: relationship growing up through the turbulent Italian postwar era. Yeah,
Speaker 5: higherarchy on these books of like the long European novel series.

Speaker 3: the first lightning bulb?
Speaker 2: Okay? So so ninety three, even if I don't know it,
Speaker 2: you gotta go with Tetris. This is is the og
Speaker 2: game Boy. That's the only thing you can fit. Yes's
Speaker 2: the only thing you can fit in your crue allotment
Speaker 2: for NASA.
Speaker 5: There was a there was a Mario game for the
Speaker 5: Game Boy, but it wasn't like it was not good
Speaker 5: as universal of Tetris.
Speaker 4: Anyone can play Tetris.
Speaker 2: Well because also because Tetris was the packet, so like
Speaker 2: that was the gris came Tetris. It came to Tetris,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 3: Love I liked watching that movie that came out recently
Speaker 3: about how crazy the story is of Tetris just in general.
Speaker 3: But that's the thing that popped into my head too,
Speaker 3: was Tetris. That's the only thing I could kind of
Speaker 3: think of ninety three.
Speaker 1: Well, and you all got it immediately, right, nice Like.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like it's that that's an east so
Speaker 2: so like the the nice thing is right, The nice
Speaker 2: thing about that is you can get that. You can
Speaker 2: get there any number of ways, right, like okay, number one,
Speaker 2: the OG game Boy. The OG game Boy releases in
Speaker 2: eighty nine, right, so it's so it's still hot. We're
Speaker 2: like like the the I believe that the hot game
Speaker 2: for ninety three was still one of the teams, like
Speaker 2: one of the teenage Ninja Turtle games. I had this
Speaker 2: by the way, I think, I stick that I've got
Speaker 2: my old game Boy, and then the other the other
Speaker 2: way to think about it is all right, so you
Speaker 2: got to think about if we're going to bring something
Speaker 2: into space that isn't like that is just for fun.
Speaker 2: It can't be very big, very heavy, raw aut of electricity.
Speaker 3: The thought of like astronauts playing like an atari or
Speaker 3: a sega, like floating with all the cartridges and the stuff.
Speaker 2: Like that's funny, like oh like like it's so like
Speaker 2: and there there are other things. There are other things
Speaker 2: about that that are really bad because like you know,
Speaker 2: like when you know, like when you blow on the
Speaker 2: car when you wouldn't get like good contact. Yeah, right
Speaker 2: in zero G nothing is keeping that dust off of
Speaker 2: your thing, right, so you actually have to like brush
Speaker 2: it or do something because you're like you're not blowing
Speaker 2: it off of there for anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't do that in space. Holy cow, we
Speaker 3: got Tetris, first video game ever played in space back
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety three. That's a great question, Jackie.
