Trump on Mamdani: "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?"

("'So one day we might be saying, ‘Hey, you know, the president has a good point about Bagram Air Base,’ right? At the other time, we might praise Democrats who are standing up to [New York City mayoral candidate Zohran] Mamdani and his radicalism.

They’re also preventing Thais from illegally crossing to Cambodia to open bank accounts used in scams") ("the huge growth of Myanmar scam centres that may hold 100,000 trafficked people...Operated by crime syndicates and fostered by the country’s military junta, the number of vast complexes such as KK Park on the Thai-Myanmar border has doubled since 2021")







Back in my day, EA bought things and dismantled them, not the other way around

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Related, this is why I rub my temples really hard when people say things like Balatro is bad because it resembles predatory gambling. No... no. Predatory gambling is everywhere. Balatro is good because it resembles and is definitely not predatory gambling. The bite that is not a bite.

Love to play in a league that allows a nation state to purchase a team and then allows that nation state’s sovereign wealth fund to advertise at said team’s games allowing them to pad their books for the purposes of financial compliance.
