In a shocking twist, where most Marvel movies have a running time of over 2 hours, The Marvels will allegedly be 88 minutes long. It is currently advertised as 105 minutes long, but it might be padded by the end credits.

The just stop oil group has a history of protesters gluing their hands to art gallery walls and tanker trucks. They probably did this because the consequences won't involve jail time.

Interesting food stuff:

House of Mouse might be buying EA

 

 

I doubt that is happening, there is word about Disney selling off ABC and ESPN to balance out their losses as well as the Comcast / Hulu deal.

I've been following the SBF trial this week and there has been very damning testimony already. Gary Wang, the co-founder of FTX, testified that SBF directed Wang to code the system in a way to withdraw UNLIMITED customer funds from FTX. Alameda (where the money was funneled to) was also awarded a $65 billion line of credit at FTX, arrangements that were never disclosed to customers or investors. Alameda eventually borrowed as much as $14 billion from FTX.

Billy Mitchell in trouble:

When you guys were kids, did you have more than one game console per generation? (PC doesn't count)

As an adult, do you own multiple or 1?

I usually get one console during each generation.

When I was a kid, I had an Atari, an NES, then a SNES. I played SNES through high school.

After college I had a PS2, PS3, and PS4. I usually sell off a console when I don't care about it anymore. I only have a PS4 but I focus on PC gaming these days.

More Billy Mitchell wackiness:

If anyone likes to draw, brush pens are fun to work with but it takes a bit to get used to.

I use clips to attach pens to clipboards and inside of spiral notebooks.

Interesting developments regarding FTX, apparently Bankman-Fried's parents were almost as scummy as their son.

Dana Brooke has also been let go.

Clearly people have forgotten about the true OG of "Metroidvania."

A good rundown of the history of SBF / FTX and the problems they were built on:

Twitter / X currently buried in lawsuits by vendors regarding unpaid bills. Musk really is trying to burn it all to the ground.

Quote

Liss-Riordan isn't involved in the severance lawsuit noted above but has several pending cases against X. She is representing six companies—so far—in a class-action lawsuit alleging that it refused to pay bills. The class-action complaint in US District Court for the Northern District of California points to a Business Insider report that said, "in response to concerns about not paying vendors who provided services to or performed work for Twitter, Musk told Twitter employees, repeatedly, to 'let them sue.'"

An exhaustive list of complaints and pending cases is included in the article:

I assume Priest will take it off of Rollins soon. Judgment Day had a good summer collecting belts.

Jack Perry suspended indefinitely.

Quote

During the AEW All Out post-show media scrum, Nick Hausman of Haus of Wrestling asked Khan whether there had been any punishment for Perry. Khan then confirmed that Perry has been suspended indefinitely.

 

“He’s been suspended indefinitely,” Tony Khan said. “I think we’ve suspended everybody in that investigation, and then took further action after that, based on what happened and came out of the investigation. As for Jack, we suspended Jack as a participant in an incident backstage, and Jack hasn’t been around. That’s all I can say about it. At the time, we did suspend him, and he hasn’t been at AEW since AEW All in backstage in London.”
