Elon Musk's X revenue has officially plummeted, new documents show
  • In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it's not easy to find people you don't know in order to follow them, and vice versa.

  • David Pecker testimony at Trump trial reveals the seedy underbelly of his tabloid journalism
  • If someone is reading the National Enquirer and thinks it's actual news, they are already an idiot and nothing revealed in this trial is going to smarten them up.
    In the 80s, the National Enquirer had a 'seance' to ask the ghost of Marilyn Monroe if someone had murdered her and who the murderer was. They then reported this as if it wad an actual source and named Bobby Kennedy the killer. It's not like this is a real news source in any way, and it never has been.

  • Caitlin Clark's reward for a record-smashing NCAA career: A $76,000 WNBA salary
  • I can only go by the actual numbers I've seen, and it seems like most articles are cherry picking, at least so far. Saying 'popularity is soaring' isn't the same as hard numbers.

    For example, the NBA could claim their popularity is soaring during the NBA Finals, but their actual numbers are dwarfed the the Super Bowl. A lot of this is spin. But if the WNBA numbers actually do increase, then sure, more money would be coming.

  • Caitlin Clark's reward for a record-smashing NCAA career: A $76,000 WNBA salary
  • It may go down in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark isn't the first player who was expected to make the WNBA popular (Maya Moore, Brittany Griner, etc). It's far too early to tell if she will have any impact on WNBA viewership.

    The issue is that NIL money is also a way for boosters to pay players to stay instead of the shadowy back door deals that used to happen. Now NIL just allows boosters to pay players through a legitimate channel.

  • Caitlin Clark's reward for a record-smashing NCAA career: A $76,000 WNBA salary
  • The article says the women's college tournament 'dwarfed the men's tournament', but the ratings numbers I've seen show the men's tournament has had 5x the viewership. So someone's not doing their research. Plus, this is college, not the pros. If the WNBA viewership increases, then,yes, more revenue should come with the next media contract. But that remains to be seen.

  • The Church of Trump: How He’s Infusing Christianity Into His Movement
  • Just wait until all of those churches supporting Trump start losing members to Trump when he starts his own church, which is inevitable at this point.

    All their 'tithe' revenue will start going to Trump.

  • Supreme Court temporarily blocks Texas law that allows police to arrest migrants
  • The 21,000+ US border agents must love hearing every day that they don't exist and aren't aware of massive armies of people streaming across the border. They must be invisible!

    Facts never matter, people who have never even been 100 miles of the border just make up wild stories and claim them as truth.

    G Herbo says ex-manager cheated him out of $40M

    Chicago-born rapper G Herbo is learning firsthand that the adage “mo’ money, mo problems” is more than just a Biggie song. According to recently obtained court documents by AllHipHop, Herbo (born Herbert Wright) is in the middle of suing his ex-manager Joseph “JB” Bowden and his company, Machine Entertainment, for $40 million dollars claiming he was financially manipulated and taken advantage of with “unfair and one-sided deals” after signing as a minor.
