Tywin et al. Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Hopefully this is the death knell of NFTs. It always came across like the laziest scam. Pay $500 to own the rights to one of a thousand copies of LeBron dunking against the New Orleans Pelicans or... watch it on YouTube for free. Crypto, by comparison, seemed like a great scam to invest in. ETA: And in line with Mormont's comment, preteens could do a better job of photoshopping these images. I love that people are making their own Trump cards mocking him. No charge. Edited December 16, 2022 by Tywin et al. Ser Scot A Ellison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 PAUL KRUGMAN Will 2024 Be a Vaccine Election? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/opinion/ron-desantis-vaccines-2024-election.html Quote Will Republicans once again nominate Donald Trump for president? Or will they turn to Ron DeSantis instead? I have no idea. What I do know is that anyone imagining DeSantis as a more sensible, saner figure than Trump — a right-wing populist without the reality-denying paranoia — is delusional. DeSantis hasn’t gone down all the same rabbit holes as Trump, but he has gone down some of his own, and his descent has been just as deep. Above all, DeSantis is increasingly making himself the face of vaccine conspiracy theories, which have turned a medical miracle into a source of bitter partisan division and have contributed to thousands of unnecessary deaths. ....

Martell Spy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Schumer makes last-ditch push for cannabis banking bill This is likely the last opportunity for a bipartisan group of supporters to get a cannabis bill across the finish line in this Congress.https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/16/schumer-cannabis-banking-bill-00074258 Quote Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is making a final push for inclusion of the cannabis banking bill in the omnibus funding package. According to a senior Senate Democratic aide, Democrats shared the revised text with Republicans on Thursday in a bid to get cannabis legislation over the finish line. The new bill text addresses concerns raised by key Republicans, including Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (Iowa). But whether Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — who has derided the cannabis banking bill on the Senate floor — can be convinced to include it remains to be seen. Schumer plans to push the bill with the other three House and Senate leaders in omnibus meetings on Friday and through the weekend.

Tywin et al. Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) The rare time Trump was right: Quote A sudden potential roadblock has emerged that could prevent Army star linebacker Andre Carter II and other talented athletes at service academies from playing professional sports directly out of school. The Military Times has reported that a potential change in the policy for athletes at the academies emerged as part of a bill being passed through Congress. Since 2019, athletes at military academies have had the ability to apply for a waiver to delay their active service requirement and immediately pursue professional sports opportunities. That rule, pushed through by former President Donald Trump in 2019, appears on the cusp of being revoked. Tucked in Section 553 of the National Defense Authorization Act, which passed the Senate on Thursday and is headed to President Joe Biden's desk, is language that states an "agreement by a cadet or midshipman to play professional sport constitutes a breach of service obligation." The bill covers the Army, Navy and Air Force and states: "The cadet may not obtain employment, including as a professional athlete, until after completing the cadet's commissioned service obligation." That obligation is, according to Army, five years of active duty and three years in the individual ready reserve. The change is expected to take place when the bill is signed, which could be as early as next week. Carter and other current athletes at service academies would not get a legacy exception, meaning they would lose the ability to immediately pursue professional sports opportunities. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35264496/bill-nix-nfl-draft-army-1st-round-hopeful-andre-carter-ii Edited December 16, 2022 by Tywin et al.

DMC Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Sen. Chuck Schumer Can Pass Landmark Antitrust Bills Right Now. Why Isn’t He? Quote Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who has dedicated much of the past two years to antitrust policy, wrote a book on the topic and chairs the Judiciary subcommittee devoted to it, did not name names when HuffPost asked about the status of the bills last week. But she made it clear corporate influence was blocking them from passage. “At some point, the people in the building are going to have to decide that they are not giving in to the dominant social media platforms,” she said. “If they’re willing to take the heat from these big companies, then we can get something done.” Klobuchar then noted how quickly Congress had removed legislation aimed at tech giants compensating the news industry from a recently passed defense bill. “They folded like a cheap suit,” she said. A spokesperson for Klobuchar later clarified that Schumer “had been advocating to get the journalism bill in the NDAA.” It's still possible at least some of the legislation is tied to the omnibus next week, but that looks doubtful. And if not, it's quite disappointing Schumer went back on his word, for whatever reason. JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
