‘Robbing Them Blind’: Live Nation Employees Joked About Fees

AFAIK, the current DoJ's settlement wouldn't prevent these kind of monopoly abuses by Ticketmaster/Live Nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/a...

A Simple Drink Choice Helps Gamers Stay Focused For Hours, Study Finds A new study of esports gamers has found that sparkling water could be better than still water if you want to maintain concentration and alertness over long sessions at a desk.

Sparkling water to reduce fatigue? Interesting... www.sciencealert.com/a-simple-dri...

Agreed, tho the NBA does get divided into pre- and post- 80's changes (Magic/Bird and 3pt line).

One has to wonder what Pistol Pete's 61 would have been with the 3pt line...

Don't worry, the pardon purchase will be a deductible business expense.

I, uh, that actually sounds terrifying.

Unless, we're talking about movies, of course.

On the other hand, at this point in time 2 years ago, the Vikings hadn't signed the overlooked backup FA QB who had been deemed a bust who would win 14 games for the Vikes, and then go on to win the Super Bowl the next year..

Just look at goth @minakimes.bsky.social photos yesterday! Thankfully, she is confident and graceful enough to laugh at it, tho I'm sure it's was distressing at the time. ;)

The fear of the festival: The vibes are off at GDC 2026 A tense GDC 2026 reflects an industry on edge as global developers avoid the U.S. amid safety fears and immigration crackdowns.

This days a lot about the perception of freedom in (hint, that freedom in the US really doesn't exist for most) the US lately... www.newsweek.com/entertainmen...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Russia is winning so much that in the fifth year of its full-scale invasion, Ukraine is supplying its weapons to the U.S. and the Gulf states.

Having expert plans and contingency plans (and, oh following them) seems important too.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Just as with the pandemic there was a plan, but it was ignored by the Trump people.

One factor not mentioned (not investigated?) - exercise. I'd think that has an impact too. Long shifts, etc preventing/ not incorporating some sort of fitness regime is probably worse than those which do.

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.
