I think an appeals court bought the argument that it was unduly difficult to secure a bond of that size from an insurer, so it was reduced in order to ensure compliance. He only has 10 more days though. And technically, he still owes the full 450mil+, this smaller amount is just so he can appeal the ruling, which…

Their “no victim” argument is totally a double-standard for Trump. I’m sure if every immigrant home-owner decided to re-assess and undervalue their property to avoid paying taxes, the GOP/Fox News crowd would lose their goddamn minds.

And as Jon pointed out to those who didn’t already know, there are plenty of victims. Whether it is the banks that have to pass on their losses to the rest of us or him cheating the government out of money, he has definitely taken money from the general public.

While I know that this doesn’t matter in the world of tech and people inflicting harm on themselves to protect Trump, I have yet to see a credible market analyst make sense of the estimated merger value for Truth social. Based on every metric it is actually doing continuously worse now than it was even six months ago.…

If I deliberately shoot at someone and miss, technically nobody has been harmed, but I’m still guilty of attempted murder. It’s insane that Republicans are trying to excuse fraud, an actual crime, because there’s “no victim.” That’s not how fraud works!

Well, the media (and us, by extension) keep falling for it, don’t they? “Ooh, they’ve really got him now! He’s gonna have to face the music this time!” It’s what they were all saying after Muller, after the first impeachment, the second one, the insurrection hearings, each of the four insurrections, and now this…

very that ! it isn’t the looker that ghost of tsushima is but if you enjoy team ninja combat (particularly the gruesome elements in nioh, wo long: fallen dynasty, and ninja gaiden) then you’ll totally click with rise of the ronin. it’s actually why i’m still playing it: the combat variety is me hooked

Hell its even out on PS4.

Its on all 3 current consoles. If you’re wanting it on the same vacuum cleaner as Doom it might be awhile.

Looks like they gave him Deku’s hair instead:

There’s a pretty common attitude that all manner of atrocities - murder, torture, rape, even war and genocide - are fine as long as they happen to the “deserving”.

Look, we can talk about the death penalty. But there is no “rape penalty” - and there shouldn’t be. There shouldn’t be, because it then normalizes rape, a thing which is not normal and has no justification ever. I understand the hate and revulsion, I feel it myself. But this narrative of “haha, you’ll go to jail and…

...because the dumpster fire formerly known as twitter is owned by a sociopathic, nazi, drug-addicted, potmark-faced mentally-disabled methhead kkk freak. That’d be a ridiculously easy question even for the $200 square on Jeopardy

Rape is rape. There is no good rape and bad rape. It is all bad. Rape is not a tool of reformation or an instrument of revenge. We are not Tate.

“It’s as if a million 13-year-old boys cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.”

“Eugen Vidineac, the Tates’ counsel, said there’s “no truth” to what Ross read live, ardently expressing the brothers’ intent to “actively [participate] in the legal process” in order to defend their reputation.”

It’s early yet, but I alreadyt say best news of the week.

Looking forward to getting there.

I have the first generation of Switch, bought it on launch day and I’ve played through the entire demo and didn’t have any problems. Maybe a bit longer load times compared to other consoles, but nothing performance wise. Ran totally smooth to me on my Switch.

This... I have no words. I’m shell shocked.
