Apparently the CSC has reached an agreement with the Class Counsel to treat the collectives the same way they treat other businesses when evaluating NIL deals.

The judge said the Trump Administration arguments were too weak ( "extensive public interest" and "transparency to the American public") to qualify as special circumstances under Fla law. But the administration is free to make stronger legal arguments. We both know they won't. Make the weakest possible argument, get denied, throw your hands up and say "gee whiz, we tried", then hope it goes away. It won't, especially now that the WSJ is reporting that Bondi told Trump in May that his name was in the Epstein files (different from Grand Jury testimony) many times. Next step, go to Maxwell and tell her if she says she never saw Trump, Trump was nowhere near Epstein, etc. then they will shave a whole lot off her 20 year sentence.

Re-read the lyrics in quotes

Thank God for Speaker Johnson. He adjourned the House in the nick of time before a Colbert investigation could start. To paraphrase Monty Python: "When Epstein reared his ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled, Brave, brave, brave, brave, brave, brave Mike Johnson"

I do not have a huge amount of sympathy for this person who does not read their emails about the business they are running until it is too late. That said it looks like the last trade in RAE was in Feb of this year. Curious. Also curious how the economics work at this point. It used to be they took in dollars and paid out RAE at some made up ratio that would keep some of the dollars for themselves. Then the creators would have to sell RAE to get ETH, and then sell ETH to get USD, paying for the privilege at each turn. Then an avenue was opened up to the creators to sell the RAE for USDC, then sell the USDC for USD, paying a transaction fee only once. But given the lack of RAE trades in either ETH or USDC for the past 5 months, it makes one wonder if Rokfin has just dropped RAE. Liquidity was certainly hard to come by. Does Rokfin now collect USD, buy some USDC (or other) to hand out and keep some USD for themselves? I could see a scenario where they do this for the content creators they want to keep around and just ghost the ones they do not. Seems a crappy way to run a business. Or maybe it is a great way, but only certain personalities can do it.

Yesterday it was "overwhelming" underwhelming evidence against Obama. Today it is 250k pages of MLK Jr. files. What shiny object meant to distract from the Epstein client list will tomorrow bring?

remove those windows and you can name a locker

Warren explicitly used the word investigation just days before in reference to Paramount's settlement with Trump so if she wanted an investigation of CBS's handling of The Late Show I am sure she would have used that word.

Are they still losing money? They just signed a TV contract with ESPN worth $200 million per year, up from $25 million per year. Add in another deal with ION for an undisclosed amount that is certainly a big jump from their old $13 million per year deal and two more expected deals and eatimates run about $260 million per year. Meanwhile three expansion franchises paid $250 million to join the league, up from $50 million. Seems like the old numbers are no longer meaningful.

It should have been the first, and the rest weren't necessary.

Art, Art, Art. Tell me you are not becoming caviera and just blindly accepting an AI summary. Tell me you are not being taken in by AI's habit of taking two things one person said about two different, but related, subjects and claiming they are about a single subject. Tell me you know that the investigation Warren called for was related to the $16 million settlement over the 60 Minutes edit and not related to The Late Show's cancellation. Dude, AI makes shiit up. It is what it does. It wants to answer, even when the answer is wrong. This is what is so insidious about it. Against my better judgement I read some of the AI summary. And I instantly regretted it. At least you were honest enough to say it was an AI summary, unlike some others.

Serious allegations are just that. Serious allegations go unsupported by facts often. But Pam Bondi has the facts on her desk unless the facts do not actually exist or they do exist but they are not facts because they were made up by Obama.

Not one of those tweets is a call for Congressional hearings. And the Writers Guild of America is not a Democratic politician. So, still no "Democratic politicians... calling for a Congressional investigation"

Most of his posts are

Who says anyone is calling for Congressional hearings? Just Hurley. And he offers zero support for that claim. Take note that Hurley makes several statements in the opening paragraph that he backs up with links to related articles, but he has no link to his claim that Democrats are calling for hearings, and he names no specific politician. Hurley claims that Colbert is slanted (he is), but he appears even more slanted to Hurley because Hurley is just as slanted in the opposite direction.

possible? not yet probable. wake me when evidence has been vetted. Headlines are cheap.

This is another example of politicians being their worst self. And it is a bi-partisan issue. Same thing happened when Republicans voted against the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Pay no attention to the Jeffrey Epstein client list. We have this to distract you instead.

He wasn't fired. His contract expires in May and they told him they would not be renewing it and will cancel the show altogether at that point. He still has nine-ish months of shows to do. It is hard to argue with losing money at that rate. And that is a late night show problem across the board, not just a Late Show problem. Between 2018 and 2024 ad revenue for these shows has dropped 50%. As a result a whole bunch of these shows have already been cancelled (Conan O'Brien, James Corden, and a few others I cannot remember).

what story?

Pithy and inaccurate. Keep up the good work.

You almost made sense there. I never said you said Republicans don't spend. I implied that you implied it, which you certainly did. Given your weakness with logic, you should not attempt it. Illogic is your strong point. You should stick to that, like when you said democrats are wokesters. Nevermind that you cannot define the term, it certainly does not apply to all, and probably does not apply to many.

But the real treat for me was a Dairy Queen cone with the butterscotch dip.

Always the chocalate eclair for me. We had Good Humor, but not Mr. Softee. I still get excited when I hear the music in the neighborhood.

You stated an opinion once you used wokesters. And it has everything to do with it as it completes the thought. Quit acting like Republicans don't like to spend by leaving them out. Big beautiful deficit spending. Yet another way Trump duped voters.
