Live Nation settles US antitrust case Live ​Nation Entertainment β€Œhas ​reached ​a proposed ⁠settlement ​with ​the U.S. Justice ​Department, ​according to β€Œa ⁠court hearing ​on ​Monday.

Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.

The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.

But Trump just let them settle out of court.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

​​A data center in Ohio just got a $4.5 MILLION tax break.
10 new full-time jobs will be created.

I have never seen a clearer example of corporate tax breaks playing in our faces.

They're not even hiding the grift anymore.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

A guy at my local Wawa works two registers back and forth *during the morning shift* like an athlete in flow. There's simply no way for me to adequately express my appreciation without holding up the line, which,... obviously.
