“It only costs $5 to subscribe. Compare that your coffee bill!”
People act like making $5k a month is good, but after that $3900 2017 Toyota Corolla payment, and $500 a month on coffee, there ain’t a whole heck of a lot left.

Sony, like most, is waiting on the AI bubble to burst. Side note: PS5 and Xbox Series X are badass and nearly identical hardware. Microsoft has seemingly given up selling consoles and now sells its games to Sony customers, so buy a PlayStation. Nintendo also has new hardware and makes great games.
A recent analyst report has suggested that Sony may push the launch of the PlayStation 6 beyond 2028 and lengthen the PlayStation 5 lifecycle. www.ign.com/articles/hig...

This a tremendous game. My play through ended in horrible tragedy, and I think the same might occur if I made different choices. My guess is that it almost always ends in tragedy.
Regardless, this game is a great story.

When billionaires make anything you love into their own personal toy there's a good chance you will lose that thing - social media, a television network, a newspaper.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP

The left didn’t make the men you ordered to occupy the city for no reason shoot a man in the back. The left didn’t tell a bunch of masked armed yahoos that they had “total immunity” and you would let them get away with murder if it came to that.

Part of what strikes me about Trump, Noem, Bovino, Miller, et al and their willingness to lie in the face of overwhelming video evidence, is their absolute certainty in the tribal stupidity and cynicism of their supporters—especially on here—who will blindly repeat their lies.
