Microsoft argues against FTC that their merger would create jobs.
Then 180 degrees that shit because apparently Bethesda/Activision were going to eliminate those jobs anyway.

Ouch, I'd be pissed too if my $70 was still not enough to buy all the character models, let alone that I would have to pay to re-customize my character. They 100% deserve this negative criticism.
Ukraine has been having a lot of success recently, due to a new weapon on the field, it is taking out most of Russia's remaining air power.
That according to the Russian Air Force General, was already reduced to less then 1/3rd effectiveness.
. The authorities insist that those conscripted for mandatory service are not being deployed to Ukraine.
Sure..... and Micky mouse is my uncle.
While Putin said there was no need to round up more, his mobilization decree is open-ended, allowing the military to call up additional reservists when needed. That decree also banned volunteer soldiers from ending their contracts.
Looks like this isn't even their first rodeo either.
They lost their last leader in 2019 to:
Fournier's Students for Trump co-founder, John Lambert, accepted a federal plea deal in 2019 and was sentenced to 13 months in prison for a wire fraud scheme that collected over $46,000.
They are withholding financial details because they claim "The leader handled the finances" Which looks like to be an ongoing investigation.
Con men and liars.
The section in question is focused on physicians, and DeSantis argued that reading the law makes it clear that the criminal penalties apply only to medical practitioners
What a complete and utter lack of responsibility. "I didn't cause that village to die of thirst, I just shut the dam completely so no water could get to them."
Actions have consequences. Actions cause reaction. Either he is too dumb to put those two pieces together, or being directly misleading.
In a desperate bid to replenish its manpower, Moscow is sending injured (Sometimes amputated) soldiers back into battle.
Ouch. Everyone but Putin felt that one.
The latest figures posted by the Ministry of Defence do not include the Wagner Group nor their prisoner battalions that fought in Bakhmut.
Hundreds of thousands of mercenaries and prisoners died in that meat grind. If they did include them, they'd have to put the casualty number much higher.
Oh, and they are now kidnapping civilian immigrant workers, in an effort to bolster their numbers. They will not count either.
6 billion down to 200,000 in 3 years. Give or take a few thousands
We might end up putting these guys on the endangered species list to protect them. If it continues at this rate it may not even matter.
They found that the temperature of the water was not above the species’ thermal limits, but it did increase their caloric needs considerably (see the Perspective by Kruse). This increase, in conjunction with a restriction in range, led to an unexpected mass starvation event.
So crabs eat more in warmer seasons, and they didn't have enough food. Good news is they will survive if the temperature doesn't increase another 1-2 degrees. Bad news is, we are still on track for that.
So it looks like a lot of us are going to have to get used to synthetic crab for a bit.
I imagine quite a few Republicans are still pissed about McCarthy. So those 10-20 holdouts might be more "Durable" then people think. I don't mean untouchable mind you, just that pride can be a multiplicative factor....
It is not impossible, but 20 people is a lot of concessions before the tomorrow vote.
I imagine defense contractors and military are anxious to get into Israel and Ukraine funding back on track. Which might be creating more social pressure on the back end in the US.
I am a Christian and am willing to throw myself into the ring.
I think we deserve all the hate we are receiving and more. I am a firm believer of the separation of church and state, because I actually have studied the history of that phrase, and I know Christians wrote it in blood.
Very little of that matters though, because the balance of power has been shifted too much into our area.
We were supposed to minister to people, wash people's feet, love their neighbor.
Christian's were supposed to be servants of our communities, and instead we became the rulers. Instead of showing compassion and understanding, we are tyrants with no passion, logic, or understanding for our fellow people.
Just the love of Money. "In God we Trust"
There will be a power shift back, and I don't think Christian's are ready for the blow-back. But I will say, we will deserve it, for we have become vile tyrants.
Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner's private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.
The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.
It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.
However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
As of now ~~7~~ 10 bodies have been found.
However, just day's earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if "announcing their services" to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn't safe?!
Edit:
2:24pm
Wagner's media is also claiming they both died.
Don't worry guys, Israel has no idea how to target buildings "without a marker smoke."
Pay no attention to all that precise targeting equipment that Israel called "where's daddy" and "Lavender" that seems to target civilians just fine.
