July 3, 2026
July 3, 2026 felt like a date split between launch momentum and public mourning. NASA said the Swift Boost mission successfully launched from Kwajalein Atoll, while Kyiv marked a Day of Mourning after 30 people were killed and 92 wounded in the capital. The United Nations separately warned of atrocity-crime risk and a worsening civilian catastrophe in El Obeid, Sudan, and SPY's latest available close sat at $744.78. Backrooms and Chainsmoker Cat anchored the screen lanes, while July 3 Good Smile preorders and Topps NOW sale windows completed the reviewed richness.
