We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

I'm gonna sound harsh, but studios that spent decades sitting on the throne and now keep dropping mid after mid deserve to get dethroned.

That's how the industry is supposed to work.

If the blood stops circulating, it rots.

Gaming used to be about competition. Someone would make a hit, and instead of copying their homework, another studio would come along and try to outdo them with something completely different. It was an endless cycle of studios rising, others falling, and the industry getting better because of it.

Now half the industry is surviving on nostalgia, remasters, and the sentence, "From the studio that brought you X."

If a new studio can do it better, move over.

Let someone hungry have a turn.

If more US alllies had followed Canada's courageous example, and brought home to Trump the folly of his economic war on the world, American consumers would have been spared the pain of Trump's higher prices - and American workers would not have lost jobs to higher input costs.

Are you fucking kidding me??

Trump is YOUR problem.

Deal with it and when he’s gone, get back to us.

Jason Schreier compartió nueva información sobre el futuro del formato físico en PlayStation:

▫️ Sony considera que su base de jugadores digitales ya es lo suficientemente grande como para prescindir de quienes siguen comprando juegos en formato físico.
▫️ La compañía no cambiará su modelo de distribución minorista: las tiendas seguirán vendiendo cajas, pero estas solo incluirán un código de descarga.
▫️ Actualmente, cuando Sony vende un juego físico First Party a un minorista, este obtiene alrededor del 30% del precio de venta (70 dólares). Con el formato 100% digital, Sony pasaría a quedarse con la totalidad de esos ingresos.
▫️ Como resultado, la empresa espera aumentar de forma significativa sus márgenes de beneficio.

Información adicional de otros reportes:

▫️ Sony estaría convencida de que, con el tiempo, la mayoría de los jugadores terminará aceptando la transición hacia un ecosistema 100% digital.
▫️ La compañía cree que los usuarios seguirán apoyando a PlayStation incluso sin la opción de comprar juegos físicos.
▫️ Además, consideran que no es necesario mantener una comunicación directa con los fans sobre esta decisión, ya que confían en la fortaleza de la marca y en la fidelidad de su comunidad.

How do I explain to people that Succession is real and it’s in Canada and it’s the Rogers family and it’s exactly as bad as you’d imagine, both for our society and behind the scenes.

So the President of the United States is talking about World Cup games being rigged,demanding reviews...slandering officials-this is insane stuff. And we've just become inured to it.
A whole generation is growing up thinking this is normal.That will be hardest to reverse later.

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu is publicly calling on the White House to answer growing questions surrounding reports that an unidentified 79-year-old man received exclusive access to a powerful experimental drug through the FDA’s compassionate use program.

“The White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said. “Did Donald Trump get this special drug?”

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.

“It’s bigger than Watergate.”

“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”

“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”

“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”

“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”

“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”

“And some of them took that deal.”

“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”

“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”

“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”

America’s auto industry is currently strained by higher aluminum prices.

Global aluminum prices are about $3,500 per ton, but tariff charges have raised the U.S. price to $6,100. (Compared to $3,220 a year ago.)

We don’t allow mining in Yellowstone.

We don’t allow mining in Glacier.

We don’t allow mining in Yosemite.

We don’t allow mining in Zion.

We don't allow mining in Acadia.

We don't allow mining in Grand Teton.

We shouldn’t allow mining in the Boundary Waters.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
