Don't know if this is the right call on Bonta's part. Yes Paramount leaked shit, but it makes him look like the unreasonable party for not even meeting. He could publicly be upset that Paramount leaked shit, but he should still meet with Paramount. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/u...

Inflation had actually been lowered by 3% by June of 2022. The 9% inflation rate was due to supply shock due to COVID and the escalation of Russo-Ukrainian War.

Ok, getting beyond the ridiculousness of Tom Scott shifting blame to Biden for increased inflation and cost of living, he also says the Inflation reduction Act was responsible for 9% inflation in July 2021. The IRA wasn't passed until 13 months later. Also, inflation DID cool after it was passed.

Ellison is such a bitch. He's trying to bully the states into backing down. Problem is that there was no injunction, Paramount agreed to delay the merger knowing about the ticking fee. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Here’s an idea: give Ukraine the license to make patriots and some patriots. After they’re making them they can send new ones back to us if we still need. Inexcusable to be short on interceptors and not allow greater manufacturing It’s a sin

Very well put. Republicans know all they got is racism and Islamophobia against AES given Trump's unpopularity and the state of the economy. I don't think their gambit will pay off, just too many things going against Rogers.

"It’s worth noting that in the deep-red TN district he represents, Ogles, who posted 'Muslims don’t belong in American society,' lost his primary to another R, one plenty conservative but not so flamboyantly bigoted. So while a Muslim name may carry a penalty, so does acting too much like Trump."

Mike is right, a lot of things are up in the air right now. I think EA will look to sell BioWare and probably their IP given Mike reported EA considered selling them off before the acquisition became public. Polygon covered what to expect a few months ago: www.polygon.com/ea-deal-pred...

Is it a guarantee studios will close or IPs sold just because it's been discussed at some level? Absolutely not. Everything is in flux right now. But employees in all departments are rightfully worried. I mean, wouldn't you be?
