Current crop of billionaires has me looking back fondly on Ted Turner being like, "I love sports, rasslin', cartoons, old movies and things starting 5 minutes past the hour" and just having a relatively harmless good time with those things

NPRWhen I think of Ted Turner, I think of 3 things: TCM, pro wrestling, & Pulitzer winning fiction writer Robert Olen Butler emailing his English Department colleagues to inform them that his wife is leaving him to join Ted Turner's small retinue of girlfriends. RIP, king.

(“We have nothing in common with [the rest of the Middle East] in terms of values and systems. We are pragmatic, and they’re not. So it’s a difficult neighborhood to be in.” He continued: “From the UAE’s perspective, there is nobody else that has the willingness to live in a post-American world in the region. In that respect, we share Israel’s values.”)Why is the UAE doubling down on its relationship with Israel despite being dragged into a war it didn’t want?@lisang spoke to several well-placed experts. https://t.co/vfZwSdvmaN

I see that Matt Taibbi, who just lost the defamation case he filed against Eoin Higgins for criticism of his hackery, is one of the featured speakers at FIRE’s “Soapbox 2026” “celebrating free expression, fearless debate, and the courage to dissent.” Very free. Oh, no doubt.

(Shares of FanDuel parent company Flutter fell sharply in afternoon trading Wednesday, closing the day down 4%. The stock has been under pressure, down almost 60% over the last year as investors have sold off gaming stocks more broadly amid the sudden specter of competition from prediction markets and worries about consumer spending due to higher gas prices and inflation worries. Shares of DraftKings are down 30% over the same time period)Shocking news in the world of sportsbetting. I can exclusively report FanDuel CEO Amy Howe is out after five years at the sportsbook @CNBC https://t.co/HHxmf9Rd7c
