Trump 2 antitrust is like, giant mergers require no oversight and AI companies do not need any narrow exceptions to antitrust law to coordinate on safety, but the White House press pool must provide duplicative independent cameras covering speeches or else ummmmmm consumer prices will rise

I wonder how cheaply I can find a clear shell replacement for my launch unit to turn it into this?

Xbox's translucent "OG Green" Series X25 console is now rumored to drop on November 27 for €899.99 (French pricing). That's Black Friday. It's coming from reliable leaker "billbil-kun", who fairly assumes the cost will translate to $899.99 in the US. That's a $100 premium for nostalgia.

I remember when there was outcry about Sam Bradford getting 6/$78 million ($50 guaranteed) and the was the reason for the rookie wage scale

The Raiders have signed No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to his four-year, $57.27M fully guaranteed contract with a fifth year option.

How is it that both Xbox and Nintendo managed to make playing FFXIV more tedious and/or more expensive? Xbox with its real dumb currency lock, and now Nintendo with a whole separate subscription?

Final Fantasy XIV announced for Nintendo Switch 2, coming this August

It's not like there was a commercial during the Super Bowl doing exactly this or anything:

49ers general manager John Lynch said the team is using AI to evaluate draft picks. “The cool thing is you don’t need to be an expert.” Good luck to the Niners!

I'd be more receptive to "the NBA shouldn't expand rn" arguments if not for the fact enabling the Sonics to leave was a total travesty on the NBA's part and that healing that wound supersedes whatever negative ramifications there could possibly be to this.

Even though I've never won our MLB Fantasy league, it still feels like a cheat code that for the last 4 years, I've been able to user my Keeper on Ohtani, and the last 3 years on Judge. (We get 3/yr) This year? #3 is Yamamoto. So... 4th place finish incoming again! #MLB #FantasySports

Reason #872498 why Ron Johnson is an awful Senator and terrible human.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

RON JOHNSON: 650k people that are at large in America have committed crimes. Mr Bier, you're shaking your head BIER: They're not at large. They're in prison. They're in prison where they should be JOHNSON: They're not detained! BIER: They're detained by the states. They're not detained by ICE

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

I'm not a doctor, but perhaps the fact that she had two major crashes in the span of about two weeks is the reason why the injuries were so severe. 🤷

The New York Times@nytimes.com

From @theathletic.com: Two and a half weeks after her crash during the Olympic downhill race, Lindsey Vonn is out of the hospital. Medical experts break down why her leg injuries were so severe and the possible long-term implications

Re ICE actrocities in MN, I’ve already said that lately I feel consistently angrier than I’ve ever felt in my long life. But I also feel absolutely heartsick. That poor little 5-year old baby kidnapped, imagining how scared he was… I know many of you feel the same. Love and solidarity to you.

This is a war against the working class. Millions finally had student loan payments tied to what they actually earn, making repayment more affordable than ever. Ending that progress will hurt the very people who keep this country running. Linda McMahon should stick to wrestling.

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office. But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly. I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.
