Apparently, Ellison's plan is to pay off $80 billion in debt through streaming when the only companies that are profitable at streaming are Netflix and, maybe, Disney.

Are we sure that David Ellison isn't another Edgar Bronfman, Jr., who sold the family's liquor business and got into the music business at the height of file sharing?

True, they didn't wear cool uniforms, but they did stop the recount, and they helped get Bush elected, which led to the decline of America, so they were important in their own way.

Let's all AGREE that a President suggesting that a foreign adversary taking out 2 American cities is "a small price to pay" is the most fucked up thing a President ever said. 25th Amendment NOW.

Media more interested in a single death from pneumonia in central Russia than Trump's daily corruption.

All Christian theologians agree that there is no time in Heaven. God exists in the eternal present. If he existed in time then he would be changeable and not God. So, going to Heaven for 18 days makes no sense in terms of Christian beliefs.

Rome didn't see Jesus as a threat, they saw him as a pest. If he'd been an actual threat, Pilate would've had him summarily executed without a trial.

He did claim to be God. Not only "I am" but "I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30). And the Jews understood that he was claiming to be God.

for reference, in the Dobbs opinion, Alito was like, women generally don't _plan_ to get an abortion, so how could they have a reliance interest in abortion? which is kind of an extension of 'you want health insurance? what, you plan on being sick?'

I had "engendered reliance interests" in America being a Democracy and then SCOTUS made Trump a king.

I remember a time when the U.S. wouldn't have been considered equal to places like Turkey, Brazil, and India.

that Jesus was a troublemaker. The Romans didn't really buy this, but Pilate had tired of Jesus, especially his unwillingness to say a word in his defense so he ordered him put to death.

No. Jesus was charged with blasphemy (saying he was God). This was a crime punishable by death under Jewish law, but the Jews didn't have the authority to execute anybody, so they appealed to the Romans. The Romans didn't give a shit about Jewish law, so the Jews tried to convince the Romans

When was the last time the press ran a story about republicans making intemperate remarks about democrats? Fretting about whether republicans are doing enough to be bipartisan, to reach out to the forgotten voters who favor the democrats?

One item in the September jobs report that didn't get the attention it deserves is that jobs in oil drilling keep falling. The industry thinks that if Trump and Netanyahu's Iran war ever ends, oil prices will plummet

California SB 1130 Smart Glasses Bill Vetoed by the Governor

The copyright laws are working fine. See today's court decision. The law didn't ban the glasses, it banned secretly recording. So, if a woman was being sexually harassed by her boss it would have been illegal to use the glasses to record the harassment. www.recordinglaw.com/news/califor...

SB 1130 would ban secretly recording people in California businesses with smart glasses. It was presented to Governor Newsom on September 9, 2026 and is not yet law.

There are already privacy laws on the books. Why do we another one?

Vance mis-states Epstein's comments about Trump. He said that Trump was the worst person he ever met, which considering that Epstein was a child sex trafficker and must have know lots of horrible people, is really saying something.

Yes, Biden "benefited" from becoming president after the worst job losses since the Great depression the same way FDR benefited from becoming president in 1932 and Clinton benefited from becoming president after GHWB's jobless recovery and Obama benefited from GWB's Great Recession.

Does this mean they're skipping right over Iran/Contra?
