Exclusive | Trump Administration Set to Receive $10 Billion Fee for Brokering TikTok Deal Investors in the social-media platform’s U.S. business agreed to give the government several multibillion-dollar payments, sources said.

this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward

Pirro admits she charges crimes where she doesn't have sufficient evidence---she "take(s) all the crimes and puts them in" the indictments. Can defendants show this clip to juries?

John and Roy arrive back to the fire department where their colleagues look gloomy. The test results came back! ... but nobody knows what they are, because the computer ate the results. NOW THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT AGAIN!

And the episode ending with the FD rescuing some dudes who were in a car chase with police and managed to flip their car. Just as the FS was arriving, someone tried to use an acetylene torch to cut open the car which then blew up.

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking”

Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

I assumed it was because he had just heard the word "excursion" and liked it, but this reason is even dumber, so I believe it absolutely

Now they're brain scanning the girl. This episode is all about how this girl bonked her head and is now out like a light and they have no idea what's wrong with her.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa.
Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

Incidentally, about two episodes back a random basset hound magically appeared in the firehouse and nobody knows how it happened and I am happy to report that the dog is now just a regular fixture.

Incidentally, I officially put this date in my calendar. Going to celebrate John Gage day this August and I encourage all to join in. Is it silly to celebrate a fictional paramedic? Yes, but far less silly than celebrating an actual genocidal colonizer. bsky.app/profile/drsk...
