@ndhawk88 @chriswithans TV revenue now makes up over 50% of a league's total. That 220 million is over 50% and that's before tax... So their realistic net revenue after tax will be around 220 million. Giving all of that to player salaries isn't sustainable.

@chriswithans @DeliciousDarth Tickets, concessions and merchandise are some examples.

That would be $180 million for 18 teams, or the equivalent of Marty Supreme’s global box office. I do not believe this league will have revenue that supports almost $200 million in player expenses, regardless of how much ESPN is willing to overpay for TV rights. Did you know Fox only had to pay $425 million *total* for the 2018 and 2022 Men’s World Cups?

@ThorCTF @alex_is_shook @RinoTheBouncer I liked 10. 10-2 was meh. I checked out after Final Fantasy: Star Wars.

@alex_is_shook @RinoTheBouncer Meanwhile I can't bring myself to like the newer ones 😭 FF9 was the last good entry for me, the series went down the shitter when they started moving away from pure turn based combat imo. FF14 gets a special exception bc it's an MMO, tho.

What game is this?🚀

@SilverNivalis @LORDCOSMOERA @RinoTheBouncer I got into them late. I thought Halo 1 was a walking simulator with some shooting.

@LORDCOSMOERA @RinoTheBouncer This is bait lol

@Muhammad_Owaiis You tried it. The entire thing collapsed as soon as Christians beat your ass and you couldn't expand anymore.

One islamic state — spanning from Indonesia to Morocco, with combined armies exceeding 3 Million soldiers, Pakistan's nukes, Turkish drones, Iranian missiles, oil from the gulf. Who will dare challenge this state? #Khilafah_Is_The_Shield

@Bommi93 @YetiMoose @Thee_Dmitri @RabbiPoupko Funnily enough, there never was a nation of Palestine. You must mean the Ottoman Empire.

@YetiMoose @Thee_Dmitri @RabbiPoupko By Palestine, hé just meant Palestine🇵🇸

My family built this house in Israel 126 years ago, and still live in the same spot. Post whatever you want on social media, your posts will not move them one inch from the land they have been cultivating for 5 generations. Am Yisrael Chai.

@Thee_Dmitri @RabbiPoupko You mean the Ottoman Empire. There was never a nation called Palestine, Chuckles.

@RabbiPoupko By Israel you mean Palestine. Google is free buddy

@JDCruz1025 @Nick77737181 @Wario64 This is the only role he's had for a decade, they'll figure a way to bring him back.

@Nick77737181 @Wario64 I mean he also was dead in Sonic 2 also but obviously somehow came back for 3 but I don’t think this is the same Eggman I think this is a future multiverse eggman the one that sent metal sonic at the end of Sonic 3

@MassYarchai @ZionismExposedx @actsmaniac @notquitemaoism I haven't been a SM in years. I'm well beyond that, Slappy. A position that would be reserved for incompetent cadres and relatives of Politburo members in your system is open for anyone who works hard in ours. You should try to improve yourself. It's allowed.

@DeliciousDarth @ZionismExposedx @actsmaniac @notquitemaoism Only leadership you are entering is being a shift manager to lord over your co-workers, 'children of elite' yeah like the children of 5 billionaries.

when i walk through the city of london and see the glass and steel towers where these bastards bought and sold my entire life before i was born, who rob everyone blind just to turn money into more money—yeah, i get angry. but i guess if you're a neolib online you dont see that

@LeapingIntoHell @ShawnRyan762 @VladTheInflator With what resources? They lost over half their oil supply, Chuckles.

@ShawnRyan762 @VladTheInflator China doesn’t need to wait for America to get tired They could take Japan if they wanted to

“If I were Russia and China, I would let Iran play out longer. I would let the U.S. use more of its military warfighting capability, and then when they’ve played it down enough, I would go take Taiwan. It’s what they wanted to do for a long time, but we are kind of holding them back. If I were China, I would say, let’s let them play this out, we’ll let them get tired—once they’re tired, we’ll do what we want to do, and they won’t be able to stop us because they’re going to be too tired to come over here and do that.” @MichaelTLester

@BethesdaBeyond I remember that long hike from Cydonia to the mine...

PlayStation players jumping into #Starfield for the first time after the update will NEVER know the struggle we went through without a vehicle 💀

@hatefulsyah @Christohpe34122 @ZackMorrison18 Who is "we"? That was a private entity spending their own money. If you want a vote in how they spend money, buy shares.

@Christohpe34122 @ZackMorrison18 if 80b is something that we need to pay for such "innovation" when there's clearly a much more use for things like food, shelters or even healthcare then i don't think we need new innovation at all

It’s insane what that $80B could have done in the real world.

@RepRickShepherd @EthanLevins2 Keep coping. Your tears are delicious.

@EthanLevins2 This is not proof of life. This is well within AI's abilities. There have been a lot of cancelled meetings over the last two weeks with no explanation and no rescheduling. That's because he is a corpse.

Worst news I’ve heard all year

@EthanLevins2 Thought you said he was dead. Take all the L's.

🚨 Netanyahu: “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan.” He’s taken a shot at EVERY Christian and Muslim worldwide.

@AlexRMcColl @HazelAppleyard You've got at least 5 minutes of consciousness at 20000 feet, most people have longer. You'll be fine.

@HazelAppleyard The clothing and lack of an oxygen tank makes this a hard no. Anyone who does this naked is dead, not from the ground but from the thin air, temperatures and wind chill factor.

NO.

@AI_EmeraldApple It got hammered on game-breaking bugs and a crap story. The bugs are very fixable and the score will likely go up with more tweeks.

Only time will tell how Crimson Desert will really do, but no one trusts mainstream journalists anymore, except the out of touch asian investors who havn't figured out that Western journalists lie. IGN rated Concord and Highguard a 7, and they both went out of service due to being a massive flop. IGN also gives Dragon Age: The Veilguard a 9, and it was a commercial failure. Eurogamer also gave Black Myth Wukong a 3/5, the same score as Crimson Desert, and Wukong was a massive commercial success. Meanwhile, Eurogamer also scored the commercial failure Dragon Age game, a 5/5. Why? Not for the stated reason, but for all the nitpicky reasons why Crimson Desert is "bad". like UI choices, gameplay mechanics, and the MMO "feel" of the game. They are calling it "prestige Candy Crush" characterless world, undercooked story/characters, regressive quests... But the real unstated reason? No LGBTQ representation. Violence against "protected gender", equal violence against women and men. No forced diversity. No contemporary politics in the game. Meanwhile, others rated it very high with Forbes at 9.5 and DualShockers at 9.5. Paul Tassi says "I've never seen anything like this" spending over 100 hours into the game before writing a review and claiming he has never been bored.

@groenetrede @simongerman600 You can use metric or you can put humans on the moon.🤷‍♂️

@simongerman600 Pounds, stones, inches, feet, miles, acres. Fahrenheit. It doesn’t make sense at all. Interesting that the USA uses the metric system in science. Hopefully the poor Americans will fully switch to the metric system one day.

Not coming from an agricultural background, some measurements don’t make intuitive sense to me. A Hectares are easy enough to come to terms with: 10,000 square meters. Easy. An acre?! I still can’t wrap my head around this…

@Om_Codes_ @avrldotdev It's all fun and games until you wake up in prison. He ended up doing a few years, which is pretty relevant. He wasn't some scofflaw who escaped.

@avrldotdev Man this is wild 💀💀 Beyond imagination

- Meet Gottfrid Svartholm - Co-founder of The Pirate Bay - A man who believed information should be free. - helped create the largest torrent site in the world - Handles millions of users - openly mocked powerful corporations - joked about moving servers to North Korea ,space ... just for fun 😭 - Servers were seized and site went down - came back in 3 days - kept changing domain constantly - treated lawsuits like free marketing 😭 - traffic actually spiked after raids - created loopholes and confused courts for years - once tried to buy a country, Sealand, a micronation, to escape copyright laws - designed server to be bulletproof - Governments from multiple countries tried to shut it down permanently but failed - inspire platforms like KickassTorrents and 1337x - became one of the most blocked websites in history yet undefeated - Even fans cloned the entire platform to keep it alive He was playing a cat-and-mouse game with the entire internet… And somehow, the mouse kept winning.

@atownbrown08 Why would the US government bail out Meta? To my knowledge the US has never bailed out a tech company. The failure of a massive tech company would actually be healthy. So, why care about what private entities do with their money while governments are wasting billions?

@DeliciousDarth Those private entities always ask for government bailouts when they eventually go belly up. It's clockwork. So yes, people should be concerned.

I forgot about this stupid shit but imagine if they poured $80 billion into feeding the hungry instead of this failed cartoon universe that nobody wanted

@ndhawk88 @chriswithans There are...considerable...expenses beyond player salaries.

@chriswithans The new TV contract is $220 million per year just by itself. 220 > 200.

@Senami_Senami @esgriskguy @IghoThony @HillelNeuer The Persians hated the Shah. The Azeri have decided to make themselves the new Shah. Bold strategy. Dumb strategy, but certainly bold.

@DeliciousDarth @esgriskguy @IghoThony @HillelNeuer Ah the ole "divide to conquer", 😉. The azeri, the persians and even the kurds don't want the partition of their country to allow you to loot it as always. Btw, you can keep your puppet shah to carry a crying show with you at your wailing wall.

I despise Al Jazeera. But this analysis by Exeter University professor Muhanad Seloom is worth reading: • “Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war.” • “But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.” • “When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.” • “When proxies launch retaliatory attacks across the region, this is not evidence of an expanding network; it is evidence of predelegated response authority, which is what a centralised command system activates when it anticipates its own destruction. Predelegation is a sign of desperation, not strength. It means the centre can no longer coordinate. The attacks will continue, but they will become increasingly uncoordinated, strategically incoherent and politically costly for the host states where these groups operate.” • “Seventeen days in, Iran’s supreme leader is dead, his successor is reportedly wounded and every principal instrument of Iranian power projection – missiles, nuclear infrastructure, air defences, the navy, proxy command networks – has been degraded beyond near-term recovery. The campaign’s execution has been imperfect, its public communication poor and its post-conflict planning incomplete. War is never clean. But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working.” aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…
