Ballmer alleged to have paid Kawhi Leonard 28m under the table to avoid the salary cap
It's remarkable how badly mainstream media has been at faithfully investigating and reporting things like this. Pablo has had nothing by headwinds and weasel-word "nuh uh"s from ESPN and other "major" outlets and billionair allies. It's crazy how many receipts he's been able to dig up on this, and getting people on record.

Holy shit balls is Intel (INTC) Fucked?
Kind of wild stat - Jensen's individual net worth is greater than all of INTC's market cap. Crazy crazy crazy to see the State leaning in to bail out Intel and set up deals like this that are designed to harm competitors. Intel had a good GPU architecture that was in still in the early stages of development, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that they're abandoning that now since they're getting subsidized by NVDA and DJT

Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
https://www.statista.com/topics/11285/long-covid-in-the-united-states/#topicOverview Prevalence of Long COVID in the United States Because there is no test for Long COVID, it is difficult to determine how many people are affected by the condition. However, recent surveys from the United States show that around 18 percent of the total population may have had Long COVID as of September 2024, with around 30 percent of those who had been infected with COVID-19 experiencing long-term symptoms from the disease. Long COVID is more common among women in the United States than men and those aged 40 to 59 years who had been infected with COVID-19 were more likely to report ever experiencing Long COVID than other age groups. The states with the highest share of people who previously had COVID-19, with symptoms lasting three months or longer are Oklahoma, Mississippi, and North Dakota. In Mississippi, up to 39 percent of those who had COVID-19 reported suffering from Long COVID. It is estimated that over 38 million people in the United States have or continue to have symptoms of Long COVID.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
Love it when all the Presidential pedophiles and rittenhouse fanclub members start showing up more when the fascism gets cranked back up. False equivocations of not renewing a contract due to 2020 election denialism (that led to an attempted hanging of Mike Pence) to blackballing someone making a joke about Republicans profiting off of CK's death and not actually caring Same/same. Sure am glad the site has tolerated fascists for so long, it's really improved the community

Markets still falling like whoa
Lulz you being a hypocritical liar doesn't victimize me, but I hope you enjoy your State Capitalism. You sure seemed to hate it recently, just trying to understand why it's different now.

Israel vs everyone war thread
Not an onion headline... https://www.avclub.com/israel-defunding-ophir-awards-the-sea-palestine Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar is threatening to pull funding from the Ophir Awards, Israel’s version of the Oscars, after a film critiquing Israel won the top prize. The Sea, helmed by Israeli director Shai Carmeli-Pollak and Palestinian producer Bahaer Agbarian, tells the story of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy living in the West Bank on his way to visit the sea for the first time. His journey is halted when Israeli authorities deny him entry at a checkpoint, per Deadline‘s description. “Determined to fulfil his dream, he sneaks into Israel and embarks on a dangerous journey to the coast, dodging checkpoint, military and police,” it continues. “There is no greater slap in the face of Israeli citizens than the embarrassing and detached annual Ophir Awards ceremony,” Zohar, a member of Israel’s conservative party, said in a statement calling the win “disgraceful,” as reported by Israeli media (via Deadline). “Starting with the 2026 budget, this pathetic ceremony will no longer be funded by taxpayers’ money. Under my watch, Israeli citizens will not pay from their pockets for a ceremony that spits in the faces of our heroic soldiers.”

It's nice when Dear Leader takes a stake and chooses winners and losers, right? Although I could have sworn you were against that idea just recently

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
I got the quote from the news article (I did paraphrase the snippet from the article, to be fully transparent) https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/charlie-kirk-jimmy-kimmel-abc-disney.html But strangely, not many of the articles even have his words and just have all the reaction from the Administration and God Emporer Here's the monologue it's from (while it's still up on YouTube I guess?) Really, nothing that justifies the cohesive fascist reaction that we're currently enjoying and you're doing a great job of trying to normalize
-
Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
Why don't you lay it all out for us then, scout. All I've seen is reaction and nobody actually taking the time to think critically. So please, lay it all out and provide the actual quote - not your framing of it and rhetoric about it

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
It's wild how Kimmel was fired for saying that "many in MAGA land are working to capitalize on Kirk's death's" when that's literally happening. Kirk is a modern day Horst Weasel https://forward.com/news/768607/horst-wessel-charlie-kirk-nazi/ Kimmel's words were pretty tame, and MAGA is acting like he's campaigning to hang the Vice President or something like Kirk did

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
You're right, the State and the God Emporer should be the sole arbiters of truth, given his sterling record of faithfulness and fidelity. That entire broadcast station should lose its license over that speculation!!!! Goddamn, you fit reich in with the NewThink Edit: Kimmel's words were more about the administration than Kirk even, so it's extra fucking ridiculous

They're acting like controlled opposition, it's infuriating- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Bro do you even trump derangement syndrome?- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
energy transfer on impact is a WHOLE field of ballistics, and why there's hollowpoint and softpoint bullets - in contrast to FMJ. Hollow/soft points will hit and expand, and have a larger crosssection that allows more energy to be transferred while the projectile is passing through. FMJ's tend to stay in one shape and pass through - which is specifically why the military chose 5.56. It tumbles on impact and dumps energy that way, and doesn't violate the geneva convention. A fast-moving FMJ can pass straight through if there's not enough mass in its way - rifle overpenetration was a well-documented phenomina during WWII where Marines would need more shots than expected to put down a charging enemy. And those marines were shooting 30-06 out of a Mauser action rifle too- Markets still falling like whoa
Definitely not - we're still running through the built up inventory. The pain will start to hit juuuust in time for Christmas shopping most likely, as that's when retailers are usually juicing up their stocks for sales- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Goddamn, the closing line 1:48 or so: "the most valuable thing you could ever do is die" is incredibly salient with Kirk's murder- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
It really is amazing that you're working to hard to lionize someone for """peaceful speech""" that literally organized an armed attack on our nation's capital and interrupted the peaceful transition of power. He deleted his tweet on January 9th, but he was bragging about sending EIGHTY busses into the Stop the Steal rally https://www.dailydot.com/news/charlie-kirk-delete-tweet-buses-capitol/ “Despite what the media and certain weak intellectually-compromised Constitutional scholars are telling you, Mike Pence does not have to accept the results of polluted and poisoned electors. He does not,” Kirk said. Countless Trump supporters, convinced that Pence had committed treason thanks to the rhetoric online, were heard openly calling for the vice president to be hanged during the riot. https://web.archive.org/web/20210107060012/https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1346271038011625472- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
