1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers. This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.
Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office. Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.
What would it take to ban management consultant firm contracts at public universities? Cause I’d love to see that.
I don't trust anyone who claims they know exactly what politicians must do to win future elections. It's much too early to know exactly what happened at the granular level last week AND a national electorate is much different than one at the state level.

There's something cathartic about the Brewer's winning the World Series because they're just good at the basics of baseball. 😍 Milwaukee is the center of the universe.

The people of Wisconsin deserve this if for no other reason than Elon Musk offered them a million dollars if they voted for his preferred Supreme Court candidate and they told him to go fuck himself.
NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.
"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers
Folks, many of you know that this was a challenging year for me. In the spirit of giving back, I’m helping my friend Anthony raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. If you can support him, even by sharing, I know he would appreciate it. All of my love, my friends 🫂
Please support the Phoenix Area Walk this fall to help #stopsuicide

Less than 12 weeks ago, EA was effectively purchased by Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump's son-in-law for $55B in a deal that saddled the company with around $20B in debt. 12 weeks. That's how long it took for them to shutter a decades-old studio in BioWare and deem people surplus to requirements.
Jfc and BioWare completely shut down too. Just a devastating market right now.
