With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

The U.A.E. airline later hired the co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, who stabbed the captain of Flight 1073 and nearly crashed the plane.

In some ways, the biggest difference between me and a person who is "successfull in media" is this clip right here. Thompson is summoning every ounce of her strength to sit there and listen to sports praise of a sexual predator. I'd... lose my shit and get fired.

So apparently the man who attacked Acton is a man by the name of Patrick Havas. Look at something she tweeted in July. About Vivek accepting money from an "Andrew Havas," who appears to be Patrick's brother. The plot thickens
Tweet from Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr Amy Acton on July 14, 2026

Ohioans deserve leaders who exercise good judgment and who put integrity first.

Which is why I find it appalling that Vivek Ramaswamy accepted over $10,000 from Andrew Havas, a man who served jail time following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor.

Did the Big Ten need to release their statement in the same font as the back of choose your own adventure books?
STATEMENT FROM THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE
Following video review, it was determined Western Michigan's #18 started his jump from an established out-of-bounds position (left foot) and made contact with the ball with one second remaining on the clock. As shown in the provided video of what was viewed during the replay process, a side-by-side view of the play and the game clock, using a direct shot of the game clock in the stadium, was used to determine the final ruling.
Eighty-five minutes prior to the game, all broadcast cameras used for the replay system, including the camera on the game clock, are synced using a strobe system to ensure all cameras are aligned.
Per NCAA Football rule 4-2-3-a, "A ball not in player control, other than a kick that scores a field goal, is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, a game official or anything else that is out-of-bound, or that is on or outside a boundary line." and thus the clock is stopped.

Men made war. Men lost the war. They brought it on themselves. It was women who paid the price. Women could no longer go along with men's wars. The war did not make women strong. Through the war, women found men out. - Hideko Takamine (Japanese actress, 1924-2010)
A black and white portrait of Japanese actress Hideko Takamine (1924-2010), seen from the chest up against a pale grey background. Her short curly dark hair frames a face tilted slightly downward, her gaze falling away from the camera. One hand rests near her chin with fingers loosely curled. A small round earring catches the light. She wears a dark coat with a wide collar. Soft focus holds the edges while the eyes stay sharp.

While the Battle of Lake Erie was significant, it was sort of a sideshow of the War of 1812. Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence valley were far more important. Due to Lake Ontario's strategic importance, the British constructed the HMS St. Lawrence, a 112 gun first rate ship-of-the-line.
