  1. We saw it today. I wish it'd gone with the fun, rollicking vibe it kind of began with instead of the violence and seriousness. It was also full of schtick, which mostly annoyed me. Everyone else in our group liked it though.
  2. siap I don't recall seeing it here
  3. Musk has long claimed that Tesla would make 20 million cars per year by 2030. But Tesla's board is asking him to only sell 20 million total as part of a $1 trillion payout. Just 12 million more sales than they have already booked.
  4. Excellent, enjoyable show but I was 5ish episodes in before I really liked any of the characters.
  5. dammit I knew I picked the wrong thread
  6. More of stirring up bs mortgage fraud charges and having it blow back on them
  7. Bill Pulte accused Fed Reserve Gov of mortgage fraud for filing a loan application stating she'd use a property as her primary residence when she owned a different property she used as her primary residence. "Crime" "Fraud!" Reuters: Bill Pulte's dad is a tax scam and now owes penalties and backtaxes in Michigan
  8. I think MN lost 5 1st round picks for their Joe Smith scam, which is a precedent/comparison. Plus the Kawhi contract could be voided imo.
  9. Ha I forgot. Even dumber of them! NYT https://archive.ph/bq3zk Wachtell Lipton hired by NBA to investigate. They were the lead investigator in two previous investigations of NBA owners: Donald Sterling and Ronald Sarver. Per Section 3 of Article XIII, which details the “Penalties” within the section that covers salary cap circumvention, any team that violates league rules for a second time, as well as the player, could face the following outcomes (after their case goes to an appeals panel): A fine of up to $7.5 million. The “direct forfeiture of draft picks.” The voiding of the player’s contract, “or any Renegotiation, Extension, or amendment of a Player Contract, between such player and such Team.” A fine of up to $350,000 for the player. A suspension for up to one year for “any Team personnel found to have willfully engaged in such violation.” The voiding of any transaction or agreement found to have violated league rules, and the forced forfeiture of funds received in the deal, “unless the player establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that he was unaware of the violation.”
  10. Amazing. Torre went through the bankruptcy filing and then checked the ownership of the random LLC that was the largest recipient of Aspire's funds. The story could have died right there but Uncle whatever listed his name as the owner of the LLC instead of figuring out how to do it anonymously.
  11. Scrolled this thread looking for more info about this bombshell
  12. Comparing the public health system of our country to civilized. nations that have universal health care is useless and misleading. That's basically the logic.
  13. I'm sure it just a coincidence that the covid death rate was higher in red states that thumbed their noses at the federal government. Pure coincidence.
  14. eh part of my response got deleted...nm
  15. "The nuclear summit in Vietnam went ahead as planned at the end of February 2019, but the talks quickly ended with no deal. By May, North Korea had resumed missile tests. Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim met once more that June in the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. It made for dramatic television, with Mr. Trump even stepping across into North Korea. But the brief meeting yielded little more than a handshake." in the DMZ:
  16. fwiw Snopes has this as unconfirmed. Neither the reporter nor Underwood responded to inquiries. Report came from radar online, which they deem unreliable.
  17. xai (which now includes x) cfo, hired in April, quit in July - part of a larger eXodus.
  18. for the record, that was in response to trump xeeting a distorted photo of Rose O'Donnell. also
  19. fwiw when dubya was president
  20. This article has me feeling so ragey - those firefighters were set up by the so-called leaders of their crew.
  21. I fuckin' love that guy. It sucks that station is getting bought by nexstar fascist media.
  22. important update on enshittification
