  1. Just to state the obvious here, if "abandoning your founding mission in pursuit of profit" is grounds for a lawsuit, Tesla should be sued many times over.
  2. Warner Bros. Discovery shares drop 10% as company misses estimates, warns of 2024 cash flow headwinds WWW.CNBC.COM Warner Bros. Discovery boosted free cash flow but the company fell short of analyst estimates for revenue and profit. This asshole can't even tax writeoff his way to a profit
  3. I imagine this is just to try and delay past the election and it'll be like a 7-2 ruling against Trump when they get around to it (still real bad in and of itself!), but just the entire concept of the highest court in the country hearing a case that amounts to "Can the president do crimes with impunity?" feels like some real foundational shit is starting to become unmoored.
  4. Trump offers $100m bond instead of full $454m as he appeals New York case | Donald Trump | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Lawyers say judgment banning ex-president from obtaining loans from New York banks makes it impossible to cover full amount This dude is BROKE broke
  5. Were there any estimates of what Uncommitted was expected to get? 1 in 6 people seems pretty good for a protest vote, I dunno.
  6. reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM This is in service of letting Texas block legal protections for pregnant women. I imagine this will get overturned higher up, but judges like this are going to be such a headache for years.
  7. Even though the effects are confined to one state right now, I think it's almost on the same level as Dobbs as to how big of an impact politically it is. Supposedly like half of the House caucus are cosponsors on a "fetal personhood" bill that would have the same effect as this ruling Nationwide, but now you have Trump coming out pro-IVF. So you have a huge schism there. And then also it seems like this is a story the media is willing to stick with for a while and make a big deal out of, so it's bumping some of the "Biden is old and sleepy" stuff off of front pages. And then you have the true fuckin' weirdos like Chris Rufo using this as an opportunity to say that they want to go further and ban birth control.
  8. Days after Alabama’s Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children, a second clinic pauses IVF treatment | CNN WWW.CNN.COM The University of Alabama at Birmingham health system is pausing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment following an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that found frozen embryos are children, the health system said in a statement to CNN.
  9. The allegedly moderate choice in the Republican primary weighs in Nikki Haley sides with Alabama Supreme Court on IVF ruling: 'Embryos, to me, are babies' WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The Alabama court's recent ruling raised concerns among doctors and patients that classifying embryos as children could restrict in-vitro fertilization.
  10. I'm sure we'll get at least one freak April snow system which seems to happen no matter what, but looking at the forecast right now, it seems like winter in Chicago is effectively over already. A couple of days in the 60s coming up. Except for one stretch of polar vortex weather, this is the least-wintery winter I can remember in my life.
  11. For the last couple of weeks there's been all these op-eds about how Democrats can assuage people's concerns about Biden being so old. Man, put Biden in a protective bubble somewhere and just pump out TV ads with this shit scrolling up the screen and "THIS IS TRUMP'S ACTUAL PLAN" in giant block letters on the bottom.
  12. Saw something earlier that he would have to put up an enormous chunk of what he owes as an appeal bond in order to go through with appealing
  13. I think it's also a window into the mindset of Elon and his biggest fans that they advertised this as an apocalypse car, and seemingly the definition of an apocalypse for them starts and ends with "angry mobs will throw things at your car, and possibly shoot arrows at it"
  14. Dems keep casually winning every special election put in front of them while people are panicking about Presidential polls
  15. For anything that's really important to me I'm gonna buy it on physical media, so long as that exists as an option.
  16. Something I'm not totally clear on, is this going to be like the exclusive way to get these networks, or is stuff like Sling, Fubo, YouTube TV etc. still going to carry these? Because it seems like completely kills Sling and Fubo at a minimum otherwise.
  17. They kinda teased something supernatural in early Season 1 with Rust hallucinating birds flying in patterns and stuff like that, and then completely pumped the brakes on that by the end. This is definitely leaning much harder into the idea. I honestly don't really know where they're going with it at this point.
  18. Supposedly all of the stuff in Arrested Development about him being super cheap was his own idea. Honestly some of the funniest stuff in the show.
  19. They don't really interact whatsoever, but at any point during the filming of this, do you think somebody on set explained to Patrick Stewart who and what Knuckles is, and do you think Patrick Stewart cared?
  20. The Sony guy confusingly referring to this as a "new adventure" but also saying it's something he "encouraged Kojima to reinvent" in the same sentence really does make it sound like this guy just called him up and said, "Yo, can you just make Metal Gear again under a new name?"
  21. Ruh roh Musk Risks Losing World’s Richest Title With Pay Deal Voided WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM Elon Musk’s $55 billion pay package at Tesla Inc. was struck down by a Delaware judge after a shareholder challenged it as excessive, a ruling that would take a giant bite out of Musk’s wealth and put the fate of his companies in question.
  22. Pelosi went on CNN and said that she thinks some of the Gaza protests are "connected to Russia." Woof. Nancy Pelosi seeks FBI probe into protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Pelosi speculated that some of the demonstrators are “connected to Russia” amid mounting protests over President Joe Biden’s handling of the war.
