🇺🇸 eBay CEO Jamie Iannone is laying off 639 Americans through multiple WARN notices in 2026.

He filed for 429 H-1B visa hires (360 in Q2 + 69 in Q1 FY2026).

Bad news, The European Commission has responded to the “Stop Destroying Videogames” initiative and decided not to make new laws about games becoming unplayable after support ends.

Apparently those sneaky meetings with Ubisoft CEO and other companies did their job.

Instead, it plans to bring together consumer groups and the video game industry to discuss better end-of-life practices and possibly create voluntary guidelines.

The Stop Killing Games campaign said this was the outcome it expected. It is now shifting its efforts to the European Parliament, where it hopes to add protections for players through the upcoming Digital Fairness Act.

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

Southwest just announced a partnership with Singapore Airlines and the top comment is:

"This is like the Four Seasons partnering with Motel 6."

Brilliant piece from Pearls and Irritations. Finally, someone in Australia is saying out loud what the rest of us have been watching for the past five years

Let's be clear about what AUKUS actually is: the greatest military protection racket in modern history. Washington looked at its own crippled submarine industrial base—17 boats short, yards choking, Congress screaming—and found the perfect mark. A wealthy, eager, insecure middle power with a bipartisan fetish for great-power relevance and a defense minister who treats strategic questions like a classified state secret

The deal? Australia pays half a trillion dollars. In return, it gets used Virginia-class hand-me-downs—Block IV boats with a decade of wear already on the hulls, probably smelling faintly of its previous crew

Even more intriguing, the article confirms for what this overpriced second-hand Australian "sovereign" nuclear submarine fleet is actually for:

Hunting Chinese Jin-class and Type 096 SSBNs. Not to protect Sydney Harbour. Not to secure Australia's trade routes. To find, track, and if ordered, destroy the Chinese nuclear submarines that threaten continental America!

That's the job. That's the whole job. Australia just committed A$368 billion to be the US Navy's underwater security guard!

The comedy of "sovereign capability" is almost too rich. Sovereign? The reactors are American. The combat system is American. The weapons are American. The fuel is American. The intelligence feed is American. The maintenance schedule is American. Permanently tethering Australia to U.S. software, maintenance, and logistics, effectively ending any "sovereign" capability. The only thing Australian is the taxpayer—and the Prime Minister standing in front of a camera calling this independence

Australia is not buying a submarine; it is buying a node in a U.S. sensor network. The acquisition deeply integrates Australia into the U.S. military command structure, making Australia a tool for U.S. strategic objectives in the Indo-Pacific — while a massive amount of Australian wealth is transferred into the U.S. military-industrial complex

And the timing is exquisite. Washington just added another half-trillion to its own defense budget while Australia is told to hit 3.5% of GDP. America gets the money, the boats, the basing rights at HMAS Stirling, and a Pacific ASW auxiliary. Australia gets the bill, the dependency, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being taken seriously by the adults.

The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes "burden-sharing among allies" and "realist diplomacy." This submarine deal is the perfect execution of that strategy: the U.S. maintains its military overmatch against China by essentially "outsourcing" the financial cost of undersea surveillance to Australia 🤡

Paul Keating called this three years ago. He was mocked, of course. The press club gasped. The security establishment rolled its eyes. But he was right then, and this article proves he's right now. It is worse than he thought. It's not that AUKUS is of little military benefit to Australia. It's that AUKUS is of negative military benefit to Australia—actively diverting resources from actual defense needs toward a capability designed for someone else's homeland

🚨FLASH🚨 Marles announces a stunning US decision to back out of the commitment and NOT build Australia the #AUKUS subs…

Marles spinning to save face—saying it will save us money, and anyway we can get some used subs instead.

The #AUKUS scam continues. https://t.co/kGymOk2bk5

The SpaceX bylaws will include a clause that says anyone who owns shares "irrevocably and unconditionally" waives all rights to pursue a jury trial.

Shareholders will be barred from bringing class actions against the company, its directors, officers, and of course Elon Musk.

서울경제TV가 "중국인 서울 강남 아파트 944채 기습매수..다주택자 던진 물량 싹쓸이" 이런 가짜 영상기사를 냈다가 지금은 삭제 했습니다.

확인해보니 1~4월 간 강남구 집합건물 중국인 매수는 5명 불과 등 명백한 허위기사입니다.

혐중 선동재료로 사용될 수 있게 의도적으로 만든 가짜뉴스 기사로 추정됩니다.

명색이 언론, 그것도 경제언론인데 혐중을 부추겨 나라와 국민에 무슨 도움이 되겠습니까.

엄중하게 책임을 물어야겠지요?

MARCO RUBIO ON INDIAN RACISM IN AMERICA: EVERY COUNTRY HAS STUPID PEOPLE

The State Department deleted the below clip/tweet.

71% of all H-1B visa filings go to India. Not because of merit. Because the system was built for outsourcing firms and big tech to flood one pipeline.

“Delta Dental calls itself a nonprofit — while its CEO took $48 MILLION in four years.”

Her pay ballooned from $4.5 million to $15 million a year.

Provider reimbursements were cut. Patients paid MORE.

‘Nonprofit’ for the tax break. For-profit at the top.

Microsoft is reportedly reducing internal use of Anthropic’s Claude Code after its AI bills started exploding as employee usage rapidly increased.

Some teams are now being pushed toward GitHub Copilot as the company tries to control AI costs.

Uber reportedly faced a similar problem. Executives said the company had already burned through its entire yearly AI tooling budget by April because engineers were heavily using AI coding daily.

AI coding tools are now being used for everything, and that level of usage creates massive compute and token costs when thousands of employees use these systems at the same time.
