This is why primaries are important. Dude is so scared of a younger progressive challenge, he is doing his job.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

"no more anonymous complains" = culture of silence.

Did a higher ranking officer sexual assault ya? Are they buddies with higher ups? Scared they might retaliate? Good. That is what Hegseth wants.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 9d

Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

Hegseth is giving the softest ass edge-lord speech. Standing around pretending to be Paton, bitching about non white people.

What a fearful loser.

Ryan @elfodder.bsky.social · 9d

If pacifism doesn’t work according to Hegseth, why must protest be non violent?

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

PIF is a Saudi sovereign wealth fund controlled by MBS.

Affinity Partners is Jared Kushner.

Silver Lake has a lot of investments all over the place but nothing interesting about them, I'm aware of, other than investments.

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 10d

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.

Can't wait to grip the hard wood fore-end of a fully loaded, well oiled pump action shot gun. Pull its pump firmly to the base of its magazine tube over and over, blasting till I hear that click of satisfaction.

Kick as hard as you want gun-chan, when you're empty I'll clean ya up.

Starbucks Corp told the folks at my local shop they are closing permanently tomorrow.

I don't know what their PNL looks like, but frankly I don't care. There are folks at that store who have been working for 10+ years & they have no clue if they have jobs after tomorrow. Fuck that. Fuck Starbucks.

I love baseball, but I can't stand the playoff format. 53 games is too many.

Dump the wild card games. Best record gets a bye.
The 4 remaining division winners play a best of 7
Winners goes to the CS for another best of 7.
Two left standing play a 7 game World Series.
35 possible games total.
