O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

I have every reason to believe that this sale will ensure EA as the absolute paragon of everything wrong with the games industry right now.
Get ready for more studio closures, aggressively monetized slop, and developer crunch like we've never seen.

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.

Oh no what will the poor children of Oklahoma do if they can't march a plastic Ark of the Covenant through the halls during Hymn Day.

The message here is pretty straightforward. Instead of learning your ABCs from Big Bird, or have Elmo show how to be respectful to others, this White House would rather have your kids learning the U.S. version of North Korean propaganda.
The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS: PragerU, a nonprofit organization that specializes in creating right-leaning educational short videos for adults and children. . It may already be in countless classrooms. www.vox.com/today-explai...

The idea that the billionaire then-CEO of a large conglomerate cared this much about losing a handful of hourly, underage wage earners at one of the hundreds of properties his company manages is laughable on its face.
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.
Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?
Trump: I think so. He stole her.

A potato takes forever to cook in a conventional oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there, even if I don't want it, because by the time it's done...who knows?
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

Every #Balatro stream I see is like:
"In this situation, on Flushes the Blueprint should copy the Ancient. That's 1.5^5, then with Chad that becomes 1.5^7, plus with Sock, conservatively let's say it's 1.5^9, so about 38.4."

One could argue that if an administration wanted to shift production domestically and encourage consumers to buy more US products, providing more transparency about which products are made elsewhere would help achieve this goal.
Or, alternatively, you could take this position.

Both of these car mechanics embrace solving the broken headlight, but their approaches differ.
One will use a wrench and a new light bulb. The other will rig the car with a hydrogen bomb and detonate it in the ocean.

Does Shawn know that UAW workers make cars? The cars that working class people drive? The cars that are suddenly going to cost a whole lot more?
UAW chief Shawn Fain, on market turmoil:

The only language these shitheads speak is profitability, shareholder value, and productivity. Some of us just want to live our lives and pay our taxes so we can go visit a National Park where our phones don't work, talk to Tom Bombadil the Park Ranger, and disassociate by a lake.

Tillis is trying to make us believe that what's happening here is the equivalent of someone breaking into his house and selling off his pots and pans. But what is actually is happening is more like if someone came to his house and sold off his garage and backyard.
I, on the other hand, would prefer members of Congress to bellyache quite a bit about what they believe to be unconstitutional exercises of presidential power vis-a-vis the execution of Congress's spending decisions.
