  1. Vince has sold off $400 Million in TKO stock.

     

    Quote

    Vince McMahon has $400 million more in cash to spend after the embattled former executive chair and board member of TKO Group  (TKO) , which is the parent company of WWE, just sold 5.35 million shares of his TKO stock, which is about 25% of his stake at the company, according to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

    ...

    TKO also revealed in the filing that McMahon will be replaced by TKO CEO Ariel Emanuel as executive chair on the board of directors.

    McMahon still has a stake at the company of about 8 to 9% and still holds voting power which still allows him to vote on corporate actions such as electing new board members, or starting new mergers or acquisitions.

  2. Sources might be old regarding McMahon's standing in the company.

    Despite stepping down from his position as executive chairman and board member of TKO Group Holdings, McMahon still owns stock in the company, according to executive Mark Shapiro. He said in the company's fourth quarter earnings call it is not dictating what he plans to do with the stock.

     

    "He’ll do whatever he’s going to do, and we’re all on the sideline," Shapiro said. "We’ll have a look, we’ll see. We have no idea on timing. We’re not having any discussion with him. He’s given us no point of view on his motive or his plans to sell or not sell, or if he does, how much. So, we’re going to wait around and find out just like you."

     

    In its filings to the SEC, TKO also said McMahon "controls a significant portion of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock." The company also said McMahon plans to reimburse the company the amount of money it spent on a special committee to investigate allegations made against McMahon. By the end 2023, McMahon had reimbursed the company $5.8 million.

  3. Just finished 8 Bit Adventures 2. It was a great retro style RPG with a good plot and very fun characters. The story never drags and each plot point didn't have tedious objectives tied to them. There is a mechanic that allows switching out characters during a battle, but I never felt the need to utilize it. Not to spoil the game, but there is a tank character introduced in the mid game that is really fun.

    I think that dude knows this deep down and that's why he's so salty and aggressive about it. Someone who was secure in knowing that they are what they say they are wouldn't be going out of his way to antagonize people about it like he is.

    Graphic design is my career, so people like this AI artist gets under my skin. AI creators need to stop smelling their own farts. These are interesting tools but it creates stuff that is derivative to what already exists. I know people who use it for work and fun, and they all describe it as a time saving shortcut. AI generated work cannot be copyrighted, so it is not worth going in so hard to claim you are an AI genius.

    Someone needs to slap him.

    So this AI artist feels they own prompts and are entitled to credit for whatever gets generated? Is this a common AI community thing?

    Then I saw this tweet:

    It wouldn't surprise me if he wrote a tweet stating his shit doesn't stink. I agree, he needs to be slapped.
