It's pretty heavily suspected at this point that Russia helped him buy Twitter. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/oligarch-influence-hidden-ties-that-complicated-musk-s-twitter-deal/ar-AA1pqbR7
I say suspected because it's an American based VC that employs 2 Russians with possible Russian government ties. I would want stronger evidence of that link, but as i said, heavily suspected.
Mine still works, i wonder if it's just discontinued and no more support for it.
Here in Missouri, home owners insurance is starting to lose hail damage from coverage. Damn near 90% of the houses around my area have now replaced their roofs, and have the roofing signage out front. It's almost a running joke now: guessing which house will be next to get one, and counting the company's signs to see who's making a killing.
Because selling the data your SmartTV collects, is a massive revenue stream for these companies. Selling only dumb TVs wouldn't be as profitable as a SmartTV would be.
Also the ad space that could be projected to these, based on collected data is another massive revenue stream.
From this new prospective, it makes so much sense why this guy and other alt-right-ers come off as soooo fucking weird. I'm gonna have to look up that interview!
Or how about Bain Dead Kennedy's
Especially considering their arguments for doing this is being "tough on crime" . This isn't tough on crime! You got the wrong person locked up, while the real criminal is possibly still out there!
So the article admits that Democrats aren't just relying solely on rhetoric, they have 2 bills needing to be voted on. It even goes so far as to call out the actual problem within the Democrat party, Manchin and Sinema, for flip flopping about what they support and don't support: either HR1, the John Lewis voting rights act, and/or removing/adjusting the filibuster.
But it suggests that if Democrats just lean on them a little bit, they'll cave.
....
Right. Let's blanket blame the Democrats for being the reason nothing in the the house passes and is currently R220-D213, and nothing leaves the senate and is currently D49-R49, minus the 2 above.
We need to call out the actual reasons much more, and much louder.
Got a link? I went through your post history and didn't see anything.
Not gonna lie, i loved Shipment for the easy 50+ kill count. When i played OG shipment, (this new one isn't as good as the OG) it was very high kill counts: 60+ for top of the board, 30+ average. Which is the best way to progress weapons ranks. Then switch over to that other map I'm blanking on, to progress the specific kill type counters like crouched kills or longshots or mounted. 2 months of that and double weapon xps, would get you the final weapon camo.
Haven't played CoD in a year though because i realized that's all i wanted to play to unlock better stuff for weapons. Not even to play other maps or gametypes for those new weapons.
Because they felt the need to have master chief at the center of the story, instead of choosing any one of the many other Spartans. As a huge halo fan (have read almost all of the books) i could have been ok with this "silver timeline" thing if they pointed to a single spot in the established lore and said, here's where it diverged.
But instead, they slapped Halo nouns onto a generic Syfy story.
Good catch! Came back to edit after the article was updated, and posted the whole thing by mistake.
Rudy Giuliani’s attorney says he's disappointed but not surprised the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal adviser to Donald Trump has been disbarred in New York.
Edited for rule 10: NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal adviser to Donald Trump, was disbarred in the state on Tuesday after a court found he repeatedly made false statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss.
A New York appeals court in Manhattan ruled that Giuliani, who had already had his New York law license suspended in 2021 for false statements he made after the election, is now “disbarred from the practice of law, effective immediately, and until the further order of this Court, and his name stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York.”
Giuliani’s attorney Arthur Aidala said they were “obviously disappointed” but not surprised by the decision. He said they “put up a valiant effort” to prevent the disbarment but “saw the writing on the wall.”
The court said in its decision that Giuliani “essentially conceded” most of the facts supporting the alleged acts of misconduct during hearings held in October 2023. Instead, the decision said, he argued that he “lacked knowledge that statements he had made were false and that he had a good faith basis to believe the allegations he made to support his claim that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from his client.”
The court said it found that Giuliani “falsely and dishonestly” claimed during the 2020 Presidential election that thousands of votes were cast in the names of dead people in Philadelphia, including a ballot in the name of the late boxing great Joe Frazier. He also falsely claimed people were taken from nearby Camden, New Jersey, to vote illegally in the Pennsylvania city, the court said.
The order states that Giuliani must “desist and refrain from practicing law in any form,” including “giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice” or “holding himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law.”
Giuliani is also facing criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona over his role in the effort to overturn the 2020 election. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
He’s charged in Georgia with making false statements and soliciting false testimony, conspiring to create phony paperwork and asking state lawmakers to violate their oath of office to appoint an alternate slate of pro-Trump electors.
The Arizona indictment accuses Giuliani of pressuring Maricopa County officials and state legislators to change the outcome of Arizona’s results and encouraging Republican electors in the state to vote for Trump in December 2020.
He was the primary mouthpiece for Trump’s false claims of election fraud after the 2020 vote, infamously standing at a press conference in front of Four Seasons Total Landscaping outside Philadelphia on the day the race was called for Democrat Joe Biden over the Republican Trump and saying they would challenge what he claimed was a vast conspiracy by Democrats.
Lies around the election results helped push an angry mob of pro-Trump rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to stop the certification of Biden’s victory.
In May, WABC radio suspended Giuliani and canceled his daily talk show because he refused to stop making false claims about the 2020 election.

Could this just be an email? I've already got enough on my plate.
Are they gonna blow it up with dynamite?
I happened across We Happy Few a long while back in Game Pass. I initially came into it thinking it was going to be a small indie game that would take me a day or two tops, to finish. My god it was far larger than i thought.
I got about halfway through Act 1 before a few other games caught my attention for a while, but this game always stuck in the back of my mind, and i was determined that i would return to finish it at some point.
When i did come back, it was no longer on game pass so i ended up buying the full thing with all of the DLC, and the story just sucked me in for a week! And that was just blowing through the main quests as i was so intrigued i couldn't bear to do any side quests. I finally did beat it the other day, and started on to the first DLC. It is just as long as the main story!! I'm still having a blast playing it!
I've been recommending it to everyone, and to at the very least, put it in their wishlist!
Microsoft isn't the developer here; Bethesda, A/B, etc. are. Microsoft is working as the publisher to get these games into as many people's hands as possible. The way they are doing this is by putting Game Pass onto as many devices as they can, and publishing those games exclusively to Xbox and Game Pass.
