Did Lori Loughlin just plead guilty because she thinks the pandemic is a get-out-of-jail-free card? [Toronto Star]

The flava:
Last year, the college admissions scandal seemed shocking. But now? It seems ridiculous. It is utterly impossible for most of us to get bent out of shape about the affluent gaming higher education when our kids can’t even go to school and the economy is teetering toward catastrophe. Funneling mental energy into Operation Varsity Blues at this moment in time is like worrying about losing a button when you’re getting mauled by a bear.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton did not instantly accept the guilty pleas from Loughlin and Giannulli, saying he needed to review presentencing reports. Good for him. He should also consider the possibility Loughlin and Giannulli are playing a cynical virus game right now: we’ll agree to go to jail expecting to never go to jail.
