the fact that leveraged buyouts exist at all is a truly stunning example of "capitalist market efficiency". no change to the core business nor new means of making revenue, except now it has 20 billion in debt because Reasons. what a system

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 13d

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.

The people who decided season-ending ties should be decided based on a hierarchy of tiebreakers rather than in an actual ballgame do not like baseball.

Some of my best baseball memories involve Game 163, watching two teams who 6 months haven’t separated play just 9 more innings for everything.

if you're not from or have never been to new york i cannot stress enough how normal the subway is 99% of the time. kids take it to school. everyone is basically chill. you learn to be in proximity with harmless weirdos or minor irritations pretty quick. for all its issues it's an incredible thing

Great sentences can be really long sentences, see Jimmy Breslin’s profile of Joe Namath. It’s maybe one of my favorite sentences ever. But it’s gotta be going somewhere, it’s gotta be doing something. nymag.com/news/sports/...

His people are on First and Second Avenues, where young girls spill out of the buildings and into the bars crowded with guys and the world is made of long hair and tape cartridges and swirling color and military overcoats and the girls go home with guys or the guys go home with girls and nobody is too worried about any of it because life moves, it doesn’t stand still and whisper about what happened last night.

Mercer County, at least east of the Keith Line (the line that separated East And West Jersey in colonial times, from the Burlington/Ocean border up to the southern Hunterdon/Somerset border) belongs with Greater New York. otherwise this map makes sense to me

if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · Aug 21

Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

it will cost them so, so, so much more money than if they'd just kept NBCSN on the air with a skeleton crew. sincerely, we are all smarter than the extremely rich people who make decisions like this
