🌵 “South By, Inc.” — The Biz of SXSW. TJMaxx vs Hermès. Ryan Reynolds’ $100M Wrexham.

The #3 retailer in the world? It’s TJMaxx… because TJ is tariff-proof.

The South By Southwest tech-tainment is this week… because the conference biz is booming.

Ryan Reynolds’ investment in one crappy soccer club… just got a 4,900% return.

Plus, one Jurassic Park startup just invented a new species… The Woolly Mouse.
