The entire leadership of Kaldsi needs to be both financially devastated AND have a social stigma on them that makes their grandchildren change their names so they are not associated with their evil ancestors.

EA's annual Ebitda is around $1.5 billion, which should be enough to service the interest payments. But the publisher has told debt investors that it will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies," per Bloomberg. In other words: mass layoffs

Lemme tell y'all something extra: Littlefoot was a gift from my brother when I was like 3/4. I'd looked for one just like him for years to no avail & had all but given up until Gail was determined to find one for me. I did find him again after no luck for years because she gave me hope to try again.

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 2d ago

All those years later and it still obviously hurt. And I immediately thought, to hell with THIS. And went looking for that dino stuffed toy. Not one LIKE it, it had to be one EXACTLY the same. It took a while, Chelsea might have found a site, I am not sure. 23/

Beautiful story time today. Read this entire thread.

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 2d ago

Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

It is amazing how truly incurious Musk is about everything.

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

Well that’s a genius new phishing scheme. A spoofed email address from a legal records company sent a PDF link via email. It links to a real adobe.com doc. Link was Harmless to open (it really was linking to an adobe share doc). So NBD to investigate further.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

It’s amazing how he will always blame a woman and never any of the guys working for him.

It's common knowledge that one of the most dangerous times for a woman is after she leaves an abusive man. It's terrifying to then, with shared custody, let that man have access to your child. Knowing his anger and violence issues, you will do almost anything to try to keep him calm and happy.

Holy shit. Is textbook classic abusive behavior.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

The abuser logic of “if I was so terrible, would she do this thing that she is clearly doing out of fear that I would kill her”

People don’t buy this crap. It’s a diaper. Your kid literally shits in it. You don’t need some sort of incredibly expensive diaper plan. It’s just a bad deal. It is $105 for ~200 diapers That’s easily double the price you should be paying. This is a grift praying on worried new parents.

Teslas financial projections must be horrific for him to want to have SpaceX buy it.

Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

We discovered a new variant of Super Mario Bros.

Inside, were 97 individually wrapped, brand-new copies of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Each game was wrapped in the same baggie that would have come in an

I don’t work for the company and have zero connection to it. But I imagine resounding success at the job if you do something that gets Musk so angry he tweets a screenshot of something you did.

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

Expect this to be a test run for the election. A full force effort to have democrats lose and keep the GOP in control of congress. Expect normal posters to suddenly demand unicorns, perfection, to demand folks stay home. They will be inauthentic.

Good luck to all of the LA28 presale folks today.

one of the most frustrating things about what Rowling has turned into is how hard it is to explain to offline people that she’s not just another author who has turned out to have shitty views - her entire life and fortune is dedicated to destroying trans people

Projection so powerful, you could screen the Odyssey in 70MM IMAX from it.

The solution to this is not to ignore them. It’s to get out your phone and play Benny hill on maximum volume. Mock her mercilessly.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

I'm a huge Emily Wilson fan She taught me ancient Greek. I've assigned her translations to my students. I interviewed her about translating the Odyssey a few weeks ago for my YouTube I'm not a fan of this review. And for what, I think, are good reasons (SPOILERS) /1

Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here crying after watching #SpidermanBrandNewDay  It’s a massive movie that balances like 5 different through lines in equal measure, each better than the last. It can feel a little overwhelming but it all comes together so beautifully it works.
