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

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

This is the only time I will let the Lupita Nyong'o was "miscast" narrative slide.

Interesting how they want to check just the little girls but not the boys and doesn't say who is going to do the "checking".

this is generally part of a broader conservative goal to kill women's sports so girls are more docile and feminine with trans panic the spice on top

i personally don't think child molestetion should be required to play volleyball

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

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.

do you think a single woman who has ever accused a prominent man of sexual assault has had it improve their lives? it is a tremendously brave action precisely because coming forward usually ruins your life instead go fuck yourselves

one thing that infuriates me so much about this shit is that they act as if the women making the allegations are being massively rewarded for their actions when in fact most of what they face for coming forward is being called liars and harassed by assholes like them

matt stoller fully embracing his role as sexual assault denialist

In dem Beitrag in der Tagesschau zum CSD heute um acht gab es noch O-Töne von Leuten, die Angst vor queerfeindlichen Übergriffen äußerten. Und vier Stunden später das.

wenn jemand während des csd in eine menschenmenge fährt ist das kein "zwischenfall" sondern ein angriff auf queere menschen und bestätigt dass wir nicht sicher sind

Author: Don't judge a book by it's cover! Designer: Definitly judge a book by it's cover! Do you know how much work I put into this?! Look at this font!!!

Matt Walsh complains that Nolan brought his obsession with nonlinear story telling to the Odyssey, undercutting the original's narrative. The defenders of western civilisation, folks.

Man stelle sich vor, die finnische Regierung hätte 2010 gesagt: "Smartphones werden sich nie durchsetzen, der Akku hält ja nur einen Tag! Unser Weltkonzern Nokia hat schon recht, weiterhin auf Tastentelefone zu setzen. Das ist Technologieoffenheit!"

Es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder!! Aber: Genauso wenig wie Lambrecht wegen des Silvestervideos oder ihren Stöckelschuhen zurückgetreten ist, muss Spahn wegen seiner Vaterschaft zurücktreten. In beiden Fällen wurde einfach zu spät erkannt wie deplatziert jemand im Amt ist.

als psychisch erkrankte und linke person habe ich keine lust, dass einerseits psychisch kranke mit rechten in einen topf geworfen werden und zweitens rechte entschuldigt werden, indem man ihre gesinnung als folge einer erkrankung bestimmt

Eine Koalition mit Rechtextremisten lässt sich sowieso besser aus dem politischen Halbdunkel vorbereiten.
