Also

TNA will have auctions at both shows for match-used and autographed memorabilia, plus unique collectibles for sale – with ALL proceeds going to the Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts in Spartanburg.

Skyway is small and the tickets are cheap, so there could easily be more proceeds from the auctions and collectibles than from ticket sales.

I wonder why women would be "more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago", and "less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago"? Might it possibly have something to do with what his women-hating appointees have done in the last four years? No, must be Biden's fault. /s

I deleted my account when I discovered that bullshit. LinkedIn's new opt-out AI data gobbling has me this close to deleting that account too.

Edit: Fuck it, I just saw Ars' article with LinkedIn's response. Bye bye LinkedIn account.

The terms of service have now been updated, but ordinarily that occurs well before a big change like using user data for a new purpose like this. The idea is it gives users an option to make account changes or leave the platform if they don’t like the changes. Not this time, it seems.

They should be required to delete their training data and start over after people have had a chance to opt in.

This isn't just in the US; I've got the setting in Canada and I'd assume it's in just about any country where LinkedIn is available that isn't on the very short list of exceptions.

the only complaint came from a Russian boxing body with a history of making suspect claims in the past

And that was only after she defeated a previously undefeated Russian. Sounds an awful lot like sore losers making up excuses.

Why are "addictive feeds" OK for adults?

The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but frequently the House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics waive the fee.

Craig Holman, a Capitol Hill lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance rules for nonprofit Public Citizen, said the fee is one of two reasons why the STOCK Act is frequently violated.

“The penalty is so minimal that these millionaire members of Congress really don't care about it," Holman told Raw Story. “The second provision is the ethics committees are not really enforcing it or taking it seriously.”

So basically this "law" is just a suggestion.

I don't suppose the people responsible for the over hiring have seen any consequences?

At this point there are people in their forties who had access to online porn as minors. Have any actual studies been done to show that a significant portion of the many, many people who've grown up in the last 20-30 years have been harmed by having access to online porn while they were younger, or are these laws just something that's trendy at the moment?

If Nancy Pelosi caused the insurrection why didn't your people try to charge her instead of focusing on Hunter Biden?
