Fighting Games and Leftist politics.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just let stand a bankruptcy tactic known as the “Texas two-step” — a corporate escape hatch for companies facing massive lawsuits.

Instead of facing victims in court, companies can move those claims into a separate shell company, send it into bankruptcy, and leave victims fighting for years while the real money stays protected.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

Video from Pasadena Councilmember Rick Cole who was out there all last night and into the early morning documenting this US military “training exercise”

Me: "Trump wouldn't have allowed little Patrick Bet-David into this country..no Iranians were allowed in this year..How do you feel about that?"
@patrickbetdavid: "You are so funny..I would have found a way to get in."
Me: "You would have come in illegally?"

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

So, why? Why would I bother producing a paper in this manner? Why would I send it to a journal? To what end, and for what purpose?

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation:

“The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

[Status Coup News @StatusCoup]

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple anti Delaney Hall organizers tell us FBI & Homeland Security officials went into the mutual aid tent outside DH this afternoon and confiscated items into a bin. Agents claimed protesters “took refuge” there last night (they didn’t). We have reported inside the tent multiple times. Contrary to a right wing propagandist’s false posts, the mutual aid tent is not linked to the Delaney Hall protests; it has been there since January—long before these protests—and contrary to lies that were propagated, it contains

-donate diapers for families of DH prisoners
-donated clothing for families of DH prisoners
-Lavish food/drink items like…pizza, coffee, and donuts.

The mutual aid tent is not “antifa”—it’s humanity.

Both Asmongold and Hasan finished their streams around the same time, but they ended with two very different messages.

I thought it was worth sharing so you can see the contrast.

this is happening under an american aligned regime so you don’t ever see it what’s taking place in bolivia in western media.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

I wrote about the biggest story in Israel-Palestine that you haven't heard about: a landmark vote in the Knesset that would effectively annex large parts of the West Bank--and potentially Gaza--through antiquities legislation. This is what annexation actually looks like. 🔗👇

if someone ran a marathon and someone else drove 26 miles i wouldnt congratulate the driver just because he ended up at the destination

[The Lever @LeverNews]

Before he became a late-night institution, Stephen Colbert gave anti-corporate politics a rare place on national TV.

In this clip, Colbert grills The Lever founder @davidsirota about corruption, economic chaos, and whether his own TV show would survive the future. Eerily prescient.

[Talia Ben-Ora @taliaotg]

A fascinating first-hand account of someone inside a movement of reliably DNC-supportive liberal voters shifting away from the party and toward progressive resistance. White college educated moms breaking from the pack. Fascinating.

[Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan]

I doubt it. Being on the left means you're constantly annoyed and exasperated by other leftists, but you do it anyway because it's about a commitment to human liberation. It's not a social club

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society,"

Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first"

Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates".

Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media.

None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty. Instead, some Dems censured Al Green, Rashida Tlaib, and have spent the past year attacking Mamdani and Abdul El Sayed.
