Pls explain why we’re using non-GAAP revenue figures in your forecast for a publicly traded company and why the corresponding GAAP measure wasn’t sufficient LOL

I stand by everything I said previously. At least with a major bank I know there is oversight, deposit insurance, and regulation for things like anti-money laundering.

there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.
Argentina are a classless team with a single magician. Always have been (hand of god anyone)? Could have had 3 straight reds today instead of a 2nd yellow and a red after the match. Good riddance. I can’t wait til spurs sell Romero.
one thing ezra klein does not seem to understand is that the democratic party has been proscribed insofar as all of its political priorities are illegal. court reform must precede literally everything.

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.
And by the way, it’s not an ad hominem attack to question whether NYT should publish someone who condemns an entire ethnic group as a “scourge on the republic.” It’s a fair question about why media helps launder and mainstream the views of a bigot who spreads disgusting, unapologetic racism.
Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize after wake up call: newspapers mistakenly published his obituary when his brother died & what he read as his legacy horrified him speaking ill (factually) of the dead is literally the most effective way to curb living racist & Nazi public figures/politicians
![There is a well-known story about the origin of the Nobel Prize, although historians have been unable to verify it, and some dismiss the story as a myth.[26] In 1888, the death of his brother Ludvig supposedly caused several newspapers to publish obituaries of Alfred in error. One French newspaper[which?] condemned him for his invention of military explosives—in many versions of the story, dynamite is quoted, although this was mainly used for civilian applications—and this is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death.[6] The obituary supposedly stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead"),[6] and according to the myth went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday."[27] Nobel read the obituary and was appalled at the idea that he would be remembered in this way. His decision to posthumously donate the majority of his wealth to found the Nobel Prize has been credited to him wanting to leave behind a better legacy.[28][6] However, it has been questioned whether or not the obituary in question actually existed.[28] An actual obituary (pictured) stated "A man who can only with the utmost difficulty be considered a benefactor of mankind has died yesterday at Cannes. It is Mr. Nobel, inventor of dynamite. Mr. Nobel was Swedish." It was published on the first page of the Figaro on the 15th of April 1888 and retracted the next day.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26hkfmtr7jrchexamh7hk6rz/bafkreiamxbpof2omcdylzhjqx5jvddya4qtd2rranqhfr3hqz7m5v7croe)

Such fake performative toxic aggressively ignorant bullshit in saying that stuff like cutting child poverty in half, the largest investment in climate ever and infrastructure and forgiving billions in student loan debt vaccinating millions of people during COVID etc is fuck all

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.
Legal “scholarship” is a real problem when serious sober work is treated as less important than lolership written to justify a result. The professors who do the latter should be ridden out of academia on rails but they’re feted. We need quality rankings or sth.
The especially fun thing about this is that the mainstream papers of record will continue to run stories about how some random thing a Democrat said is "raising the temperature" and inciting violence while not writing about this at all
