My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

One thing they are undoubtedly all aware of is that an American military that suddenly becomes openly hostile to black people is literally nonfunctional

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

They put a guy that only knows military anything from movies full of explosions in charge of the biggest Army in the world. If China wants to take over the moment is now.

"Hey what was that big flash of light in the Pacific?" "The USS Carl Vinson. We drummed out all the women and weaklings who ran the nuclear reactor, and a team of tier 1 operators tried to put out a fire with a creatine. Anyway the reactor was woke and it's gone now."

Good luck with the all white male UFC podcast armed services. I'm sure they'll come in handy when six nerds in China who can't do a pushup turn off our power-grid.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

There’s a reason why nearly 70% of industry layoffs have been in the US.

No hay chiste, estoy genuinamente agotado.

Durante estos días de caos en Málaga ante una organización pésima no he dejado de acordarme del ejemplo contrario vivido hace poco más de cuatro meses. @guadalindie.bsky.social lleva dos años haciendo las cosas de la mejor forma posible. Tremendo lo de esta edición, de nuevo💙. youtu.be/X7bZ4vqBauU

You're a Fox News host that can't do a pull up with proper form. You brought a make up team to the pentagon. Maybe sit this one out my guy.

There's more to narratives about dismantling power structures than cheap #dissent, writes @strangelibrary.com www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/c...

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass: all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff stop burning stuff for heat stop burning stuff for make car go stop burning stuff for power we have the tools

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

Eurogamer now bringing the political news that others won't

EA private acquisition deal expected to go smoothly, says report, as "what regulator is going to say no to the president's son-in-law?" www.eurogamer.net/ea-private-a...

Os cuento una situación habitual que he vivido hoy con mis hijas, pero que por algunos detalles me parece llamativa. Íbamos en el bus camino al colegio, mis hijas (5 y 7) estaban jugando entre ellas. En una parada ha subido una amiga de la pequeña, con su madre y su hermano gemelo.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

I say this without any pettiness, if you'll do me the courtesy of taking me at my word: Welcome to the state of trans healthcare, enjoy your stay.

Buying a company by taking out a massive loan, then making the company you bought responsible for paying off that loan, is so patently evil that it should be beyond illegal. The kind of thing that inspires enlightened societies without corporal punishment to bring back the death penalty as a one-off

I feel like Microsofts games biz is a good example of what we can expect with EA, but even faster. Don't expect to make 10 billion off of it? Cancelled. Why'd you even start making it then? Shut up. Just have AI do it. What do you mean AI can't do it? Cancelled.

Ubisoft: Dead EA: Terminally ill with 20 billion dollars of debt, Dead Activision: having organs sold on liveleak every day, also probably terminally ill Bethesda: see above All that's left is for WB to crumple WB Games and toss it into the bin and the western gaming industry has a pin put in it

Esta noche se juega un Valencia - Real Oviedo y hay alerta roja en la zona por tormentas fuertes. La Liga ha decidido de momento no hacer nada. Estamos hablando de gente que se va a desplazar al campo de fútbol pasando por zonas peligrosas. Menuda irresponsabilidad de La Liga. Vergonzoso.

WHAT IS LEFT TO CUT THEY DON'T EVEN DO NEED FOR SPEED GAMES ANYMORE

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

THE MEME IS REAL

BENITO, HIJO DE BENITO, LE DECÍAN "TITO" EL MAYOR DE SEIS TRABAJANDO DESDE CHAMAQUITO GUIANDO CAMIONES COMO EL PA Y EL ABUELO AUNQUE SU SUEÑO SIEMPRE FUE SER INGENIERO UN DÍA TONITO LO INVITÓ PA HACER UNA MUDANZA PA BUSCARSE ALGUITO, PAR DE PESOS, PA ALGO ALCANZA GRACIAS A DIOS QUE ESE DÍA...

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Comienza la 4ª semana con caos en el metro de Madrid. Líneas inoperativas y gente hacinada en las que funcionan. Los medios callan; nosotros, no.

Fascinante cómo España está llegando tarde a todo y cumpliendo los mínimos minimísimos de decencia humana (bueno y de Derecho Internacional xd) y se ha convertido por lo que sea en el faro moral de Occidente.

Morning Bluesky. Spain has blocked US planes and ships carrying weapons to Israel from stopping at bases in Cádiz and Seville.

Madrid fans were thinking they were so back now that Alonso was head coach, without thinking about the base issue that they've had for years: the players don't match the positions available for what they're good at, let alone coordinate with each other. Everything else is just juggling very badly.

Stop buying Brandon Sanderson's books.

Hoy, el histórico Giro de Emilia en Bolonia, que han ganado Eddy Merckx, Fausto Coppi o Pogacar, ha excluido al equipo sionista de Israel para su competición que comienza el próximo 4 de octubre.

Will this make the Fortnite folks think twice about throwing every damn pop culture thing at the wall for a quick buck? I'm guessing no.

This is why the fascist have purchased tik tok, instagram and all of social media. They want to kill our ability to imagine a world outside of their tiny and fascist worldview and its violence. They want to kill your ability to imagine anything but them.

This is the future the fascists and neoliberals are trying to kill, a free future for all humans not just the wealthy few. The genocide of Palestinians was always a doorway into the abyss of worldwide totalitarian fascism and many of the world’s leaders fell into that abyss. It’s on us all now.

Recordad siempre, por encima de todas las cosas, que esta gente que demanda tus ideas e incluso tu existencia como ilegal te odian, no hay manera de convencerlos y hay que combatirlos a cada cosa. Deben silenciar la oposición y llenar todo de mierda porque no tienen nada que aportar, aparte de robar

La cosa es bastante sencilla: O SE ILEGALIZA EL FASCISMO O EL FASCISMO ACABARÁ ILEGALIZÁDONOS A TODOS.

"Like with trans people, those who seek to “cure” autism envision a world where there are no autistic people. It’s just another effort to stamp out the uniqueness of the human condition."
