Least surprising news ever.

My ex once told me the story about how Leto tried to seduce her when she was 15 and he was 30. She went to see Thirty Seconds to Mars (his band) and had a backstage pass. She was just a fan. He got really weird and handsy and she got really uncomfortable and made an excuse to get out of there. Needless to say, she wasn't a fan after that, and when she got older and processed it with an adult brain, he basically disgusted her on sight. Since then I've had the same reaction to him for the last 20 years.

She was very pretty (and still is), but she definitely looked underage at the time.

This was obvious after all the anti-Trump Republicans fell in line in 2016, and then did it again in 2021. Some even tried to create some space between themselves and Trump during the Biden administration, but ended up falling in line after the 2024 election.

The idea that anyone was ever going to line up for Elon Musk, a repugnant weirdo space alien who had just spent months pissing them all off, is about as plausible as the idea that they'd line up behind Steve Bannon. They're all just useful tools in service of Trump, until they're not.

Unfortunately there's no Smedley Butler today to speak truth to power publicly.

Cascadia and the Republic of California when?

I was skeptical about how complete this effort would be, but I'll admit when I'm wrong. I've got to say that Nintendo has impressed me with their thoroughness and the fact that they completed this audit by launch. It must have been an enormous undertaking.

Well we lost $11 billion dollars, ruined HBO as a brand, all of our terrible DC movies aren't making money, we lost the rights to the NBA, and even considered selling off our brand mascots. So I guess Zaslav gets his full bonus for a job well done

Character is more important than 100% ideological parity. Republican Party politicians have no values; it's a party organized around mutual benefit for the worst humanity has to offer: opportunists, morons, abusers, bullies, grifters, liars, rapists, and authoritarians. Their leader somehow embodies every single one of those qualities. Not to say Democrats are perfect by any means, but I'd rather someone own up to their mistakes and right the ship late than never at all. I'll happily count Walsh as an ally for that reason.

tl;dr: The Switch 2 go to market strategy sucks, but it probably doesn't matter.

What is the team size behind each instance? Sopuli says it's "run by a Finn" (as in one person)

I will never buy a game-key card. I will stop buying new games before I buy one of those.

They said in the first trailer that she's pregnant.
