After sunset, the sky was full of happy little clouds in happy colors. #sky #sunsets

In honor of Dolly and her commitment to getting books to kids, tell me about a book you read as a child that changed your life. I’ll start: so many, but tonight maybe I’ll say A WRINKLE IN TIME, a book that taught me anger wasn’t wrong.

I have sent the following questions via email to the settlement adminstration and have been told this will get it escalated to the appropriate person. I deleted some stuff in the beginning of the email identifying myself as a class member just b/c I'm not trying to make it a matter of record.

Thave a few questions about the settlement as it stands.
1. Is the Effective Date of the settlement August 20th, 2026?
Further explanation: The settlement documents provide this: "Effective Date" means one business day following the later of: (a) the date upon which the time expires for filing or noticing any appeal of the Final Judgment; (b) if there is an appeal or appeals (other than ones solely with respect to the Fee Award and/or service awards), the date of completion, in a manner that finally affirms and leaves in place the Final Judgment without any material modification, of all proceedings arising out of the appeals) (including, but not limited to, the expiration of all deadlines for motions for reconsideration or petitions for review and/or certiorari, all proceedings ordered on remand, and all proceedings arising out of any subsequent appeals) following decisions on remand); or (c) the date of final dismissal of any appeal or the final
dismissal of any proceeding on certiorari with respect to the Final Judgment. The time for appeals is now over. While there are appeals pending, those appeals explicitly state that they are solely with respect to the fee awards (and the parties appealing have no standing to appeal anything other than the fee awards). Thus, the only appeals are solely with respect to the fee award, and
a final judgment on the merits as to Anthropic has been left in place without material modification.
Please let me know if this is not the case, and if so, what the basis is for stating that the Effective Date is something other than August 20th.

2. Has Anthropic now paid $1.05 billion into the settlement fund?
Per the settlement documents, Anthropic must make four installment payments to the settlement.
* $300,000,000: within five days of Preliminary Approval. This has already passed.
(i) $300,000,000: within five days of Final Approval. This has also already passed.
(iii) $450,000,000: within 12 months of Preliminary Approval (which has not passed) OR within thirty days of the later of Final Approval OR a Qualified
Financing Event. Anthropic raised $30 billion in Series G funding in February of 2026, and so the latter condition has been met. We are now more than 30 days after Final
Approval. (iv) $450,000,000: I am pretty sure that Anthropic's series H funding does NOT meet the requirement of a Qualified Financing Event because it was not
subsequent to Scheduled Payment 1, and so this amount has not yet been paid in.
By my calculations, Anthropic should have paid $1.05 billion into the Settlement Fund.
Has this happened?

3. If the Effective Date is August 20th, 2026, should we expect the first payment, distributing the amount received to date from Anthropic, within 28 days of
the Effective Date, which would be on or around September 17, 2026?
The settlement documents state: Disbursement of Cash Payments from Settlement Fund. Within twenty-eight (28) days of the Effective Date, or such other subsequent date or dates as the Court may set or Class Counsel shall determine, the Settlement Administrator shall send Settlement Payments from the
Settlement Fund to Class Members.
Please let me know if there will be a different date than September 17, 2026, and if so, what that date will be.
4. Will the fees and costs allowed by the judge be removed in their entirety from that first payment, or will a pro rata portion be taken from each payment?
5. Do the settlement administrators plan to hold back a portion of the fees disputed on appeal from that first payment?
Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
Heidi S. Bond

Huh. Interesting. 🧐 I was kind of thinking "but what if processed like green tea? or even hojicha?" But maybe this is more of a "but what if I used the instant pot|a yogurt maker?" kind of situation. Anyway, this is fascinating, I adore tea, please continue to report back.

One of the quirks of teaching is that it's seasonal, like farming, except we plant in the fall and harvest in the spring. We ought to have joyous back to school rituals to bring good favor on our planting.
