"the Saudis can't bribe people any more because they spent all their money on sports teams and deeply stupid infrastructure projects they'll never finish" is a plot twist I didn't see coming, I'll be honest

Look at how the Shah spent the Iranian oil wealth. On top of all the opulence he built up the 5th largest military on the planet and they both couldn't and wouldn't defend his regime when push came to shove. It's easy to spend stupidly.
I've been saying for years: The Saudis have all this money, but they spent it *so* stupidly. The money for LIV golfers was insane. Same with Ronaldo? And Noem? What?

It's people doing the, "They've been here a long time so they deserve it" thing which is a common fandom way of thinking but not the way AEW runs.
Not to be cunty (because I believe they'll be on the chase for the titles once they're established and will probably win once more people get behind them) but I'm surprised anyone thought tayjay was going to win the tourney tbh.

Seeing this Salvation Army ad reminds me:

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, THE SALVATION ARMY IS AN ANTI-LGBTQIA+ HATE GROUP. DO NOT GIVE THEM A FUCKING DIME.

Thank you.

This has been the main use case for AI the entire time and the first thing done with it. (Not judging the poster below or the article for reiterating it tbc)
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Wrestlers, shock jocks, academics, everyone gets addicted to being important. He's 70 years old. He could issue his statement of regret and retire, but no he has to hang on to be important.

If you're willing to give up people just living their lives to ICE for a measly $300, feel free to swandive off a cliff. Thanks!
NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.

At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Tony Khan once again saying he had a good relationship with Andrade when he left the first time. Maybe people can finally admit there were a lot of rumours when Andrade left that were unfounded and made zero sense.

Hangman Adam Page versus Will Ospreay from DON is a match I do need to rewatch. I came out of it feeling like it might be one of the best matches I've ever watched. I'm honestly hesitant to try rewatching it because there's a good chance it becomes my tippy top all time favourite.

Yeah, we'll see. I've got £20 in real money that he comes back as precisely the same MJF he's always been.
