My God. They CANNOT simply exclude costs to create a profit margin!!! That’s not accounting, that’s, well, that’s fraud (in certain settings) or at least fluff and nonsense meant to snare investors into sinking cash into a dream in exchange for equity that likely won’t be worth anything. Insanity

I hope so, but I feel that the current college football structure will make it a long term project. Now that kids can (rightfully) get paid even if they ride the bench, why not go to a super-Star school and hope to turn a third-string role into a decent career?

It’s not profitable, but it’s all the tech companies have. There is no other “next big thing” with possible universal appeal so they are going to ride this train right off the cliff.

This goes back to the writer’s strike. Immediate and deferred compensation hinges in part on the amount of episodes created, as does some IP contracts (read:more compensation). Studio execs have been ruthless at cutting costs, primarily to behind-the scenes creatives.

Selling the dream. It’s all they can do

A high yield savings account (even if he just made monthly contributions at %5 interest compounded annually)
Would have made him approximately $1800. But where is the fun in that?

The backstage.

The YA market has EXPLODED in the past decade or so and is one of the more reliable drivers of physical book sales, and a reliable creator of life-long book buyers.
Just stunning ignorance.

Even ChapGPT thinks that writing is bad.

Yet another example of a way AI is being used that virtually no one wants! It’s amazing how many untold billions have been burnt on what is ostensibly a consumer product without consulting consumers!

Same for our family. A great investment.

So Venture Capital is just gambling with better PR?

Feels like this company is just a cut-out designed to feed large amounts of cash to sub-contractors who (were they to be directly awarded the funds) would perhaps draw negative public attention.

Don’t forget the re-introduction of child labor.

Time to bring back halberds.

Your dad looking at his notes… 😍

It’s absolutely wild to me that someone is so busy they can’t make a dinner reservation.

“Agreed to an understanding” is the sort of thing you say when you are trying to get your vintage vinyl collection out of the apartment you rented from your exes parents.

I’ve always wondered what the telecom companies gain by allowing this to continue? Because labeling every auto dialer “spam likely” doesn’t improve the quality of their service, or make it more appealing to potential customers.

What’s (perhaps) worse is that a group of very smart people have already figured this out and some of them are being paid a lot of money to plan an escape route for their very wealthy clients.

Randomly deleting regulations will have an awesome effect on financial markets. They love unpredictability.

In the civil litigation process, felines are protected by two groups…

No doubt. Yet for all her moral sacrifices, she lost it all to a man that resembled her husband in more ways than her supporters wished to contemplate.

That kid is gonna turn out GREAAATTT.

Thank you! What happened to public shaming?

Just. Drive. Your. Own. Car.

“Both Presidents have at times struggled to justify their choice of writing instruments.”

Considering the horrific damage crypto causes to the environment and the cover it provides for evil people and regimes, you would think more people would abhor the entire concept.
But, people love to gamble on flashy tech stuff they don’t really understand.
