An Anti-Defamation League that actually believed in its stated mission would savage Trump for his comments about Rob Reiner and his wife, but they are too busy trying to find out whether an Oberlin student said something critical of Israel.

"Reuters reported last month that Meta earns $7 billion a year just from the portion of scam ads it considers “high risk,” and that 10% of the company’s 2024 revenue – about $16 billion – was projected to come from ads for scams, illegal gambling and banned products. "
To grow its ad biz in China, Meta has relied on ad agency partners given the power to create special enforcement-protected ad accounts and share them with resellers. The system produces so much fraud that Meta internally calls China its top “scam exporting nation.”

Netflix posted a letter about the merger today. They include cable TV viewing time in the market share calc. On that basis, the Para bid is actually worse for competition.
Nielson Share:
Netflix 8.0% + HBO 1.2% = Netflix post deal 9.2%
Para 8.2% + all WBD 5.6% = Para post deal 13.8%

Tesla warns of massive lease price hikes coming at end of the month, the prices are crazy
Tesla has been pulling every demand lever it can find to end the year on a high note, resulting in some of the most aggressive lease pricing we’ve ever seen.

Plus, fewer Republicans report themselves being part of MAGA today than they did earlier this year.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

A Muslim neighbor saved the lives of Jews in Australia, not the IDF. And he saved people who may have had noxious views about Israel, because what someone's views are about Israel has *nothing* to do with whether they are a legitimate target for terroristic violence.
