"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
![The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2jjromh55tf7pp7s4hsvurf4/bafkreihebdzjog2hp37o2q3enjyrsi46btqktev76ogpneczsrrzl55fo4)

This is why the people on Bluesky are here, because the self moderation tools completely diffuse attempts to weaponize your followers into harassment.
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Oh shit!!! It came back!!! It’s back!!! Ow!!! Getting this looked at tomorrow morning!!!!
I just purchased a Nintendo Switch 2 for $449 because of this btw. I recommend you buy one now while it's $499. It's a great deal right now at just $599 and if you don't buy it now for $679, you might end up paying over $800.

Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 2d agoFor months before Sophie Cunningham's latest blow-up, Instagram and TikTok have been shoving tribute videos of her fighting Black players on the court into everyone's feed. I wonder why that is, and I wonder about the timing of the buildup.
Side pain. Not good. Maybe it’s just what I ate yesterday or how much I did. Let me take it easy today and hope it’s not a call out tomorrow.
yes we are gatekeeping how people get dopamine. We have done this since society began. For instance, we arrested John Wayne Gacy for chasing dopamine his preferred way
“Olive Garden. When you’re here, you’ll need ID.”@schoolbus5.bsky.social · 2d agoSo now we are gatekeeping how one obtains dopamine? The big takeaway from posts like yours and the rest comes down to: Questioning his claim because it is not your experience, so therefore something is amiss.
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
Every. single. woman. has played nice and attempted to placate an angry man they are forced to interact with in personal or work life. Hell, when a creep at work commented on my appearance recently, I just said "thank you." I didn't welcome the comments, but I didn't know what else to do right then.

He says only evidence of abuse is ex’s claims, but his 2yo really did have a broken collarbone. That’s evidence! He said it was caused by a seatbelt, which, even if true, means he 1) put her in a car w no car seat OR 2) installed the car seat wrong, AND 3) didn’t notice the injury. That’s abuse!
