@brad_polumbo She had a monopoly. Of her own creative work.

Which one of these did JK Rowling do?

@ItalianGatorade @foxenflask There is no “$125” offer. Its about $65 in cash, mostly financed by over-leveraging EBAY which they could do without GME + 60% of the stock in a newco with no strategic vision headed by clown Cohen and his crony board that has no proven track record managing its own company

@foxenflask So in your opinion, if RC sells all eBay calls coupled with possible market crash (could begin today, soon), couldn’t we see eBay price drop below 80 and then they’re really regretting not taking 125 and RC can now buy cheaper? Just thinking because I believe in market crash soon

In light of $EBAY rejecting the $GME offer this morning against their fiduciary responsibilities, let's take a look at Paul S. Pressler, the board Chair, who is a shining example of what failing upwards looks like in corporate America. He has been a director since 2015. Chairs the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee. Has been Chairman of the Board since 2020. He was present throughout the 2019 stalking crimes, and now sits as Chairman of the full board. In 2019, he chaired the Compensation Committee, making him central to one of the most controversial decisions in the company's history: a board meeting was convened specifically to consider whether to activate the clawback provision on Devin Wenig's exit package, and the board voted not to proceed. That package was worth approximately $57 million. During a September 2024 deposition in the civil litigation, eBay's Director Ethics Counsel testified under oath that Wenig's departure was a firing, not a resignation, and that it was directly related to the stalking scandal. Despite this, the board publicly framed the exit as a mutual decision for months, a characterization that governance critics argue constitutes a material misrepresentation to investors. Pressler's committee also oversaw a quiet exit for former SVP Wendy Jones, who was interviewed by eBay's internal investigators on August 30 and September 6, 2019 in connection with the criminal conduct and was nonetheless allowed to remain employed through December 2020. Jones ultimately received compensation packages totaling over $11 million upon her eventual departure. Pressler became Chairman in May 2020, taking the seat from outgoing Chairman Thomas Tierney immediately after those decisions were made. The board waited until February 26, 2026 to reform its committee charters governing risk, audit, governance, technology, and compensation. That restructuring happened one day after the Steiners' civil lawsuit settled with undisclosed terms. eBay had not restructured governance at any point after the crimes became public in 2020, after entering a federal deferred prosecution agreement admitting to six felony offenses in January 2024, or at any time while the civil trial was pending. Critics at the time noted that reforming governance while litigation was active could have made those drafts discoverable and usable as evidence by the plaintiffs' attorneys. Pressler, as Chairman, would have been the chief architect of that timing decision. Currently, Pressler chairs the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the same committee that oversees Aaron Johnson, eBay's Chief Ethics Officer. Johnson was copied on the August 2019 "Whatever. It. Takes." email from then-Communications Chief Steve Wymer before the crimes occurred. His promotion to lead company ethics, under Pressler's oversight, has drawn sustained criticism from governance observers. Before joining eBay's board, Pressler served as President and CEO of Gap Inc. from 2002 to 2007. Former employees interviewed by BusinessWeek characterized his tenure as "total system failure." Gap recorded its third consecutive dismal holiday shopping season under his leadership, and the board moved to remove him in January 2007 after months of investor pressure and public calls for his ouster from Wall Street. Founder Don Fisher had publicly defended Pressler in the months before the termination, but the defense did not hold. The board's post-departure statement that it needed someone with "deep retail expertise" was widely read as a direct indictment of Pressler's qualifications for the role. His exit triggered immediate speculation about a sale of the company. He collected $14.5 million in severance. Pressler served as Chairman of David's Bridal from 2012 to approximately 2018, during the period when the company was owned by private equity. By the time of his departure, David's Bridal carried approximately $760 million in debt. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2018 to restructure over $400 million of that obligation. It subsequently filed for bankruptcy a second time in April 2023, this time laying off more than 9,200 employees with no funds expected to be available to unsecured creditors. The structural financial condition of the company at the time of its first bankruptcy was built during Pressler's chairmanship. As an eBay shareholder myself, I am calling for Paul Pressler to resign immediately. No golden parachute either.

@i8blue @ThePoliticsSnob @VinnysCorner1 And even with those speed hits his career OBP was a mediocre .355, meaning he’s 74% likely to make an out. He had only 1 season over .400 while Ted Williams career mark was .482

@ThePoliticsSnob @VinnysCorner1 Not necessarily. A large number of Ichiro’s hits were balls that he beat out because of his speed. If the runners on base are really slow, they’ll get thrown out.

It’s Game 7 of the World Series, bases loaded, 2 outs, tie game, in the bottom of the 9th. You can choose any batter in baseball in their prime to get you a hit… WHO DO YOU CHOOSE?

@autumnsdad1 But where is the cheating side of town?

Best Eagles song? So many great ones to choose from..early songs are my favorite..I’m going with Lyin’ Eyes as I think it’s there most complete perfect song.. What’s your favorite?

@Jac471429131197 @GenTXer2 Darkness is up there but Asbury had some absolute duds. Mary Queen of Arkansas?

@GenTXer2 Hard to complain but it doesn’t make my top 20 😬 And, I like Asbury Park and Darkness on… better

@GenTXer2 The River

Now, will he also be #1 on my 80s list?? 🤔

@jawja987 @JVMonte2 @TheBandCracker I saw Cracker at a small venue in Paradise Valley Montana last year. It was awesome, but less than 25 miles

@JVMonte2 1300 miles last June. @TheBandCracker Red Rocks. Top 3 experience of our lives. Long Live MF Rock ‘n’ Roll!

What is the farthest you’ve travelled to see a concert and who did you see?

@JVMonte2 San Francisco to Brooklyn. Bruce Springsteen.

@Super70sSports Lifetime pass for Rhinestone Cowboys for 1 Witchita Lineman

The three stages of me hearing Rhinestone Cowboy: 1. “Oh, great, this song. I’m gonna change the station …” 2. “Maybe one more verse …” 3. “LIKE A RHINESTONE COWBOYYYY … RIDIN’ OUT ON A HORSE IN A STAR-SPANGLED RODEOOOOO …”

@mikedorb1 @ChrisKirschner SP is way better. Offense comparable but the pen is leakier and doesn’t miss enough bats

@ChrisKirschner The Yankees are definitely not better than they were last season. As a matter of fact they may be worse because a number of players in their lineup are not having the same seasons that they did in 2025 which I predicted would happen.

Tough series for the Yankees. I know it might be tough to accept for some, but they are still a good team.

@jimfalvey894776 @ChrisKirschner Judge hit a dinger and walked 4x in 3 games. 6 Ks though

@ChrisKirschner Playoff level pitching seems to be the kryptonite to the big home run swing strategy. Noteworthy that Cabby was the guy getting the hits.

@Alejandro_SocEU There is no national popular vote for congress or POTUS. We have a different system

The United States is now essentially becoming Hungary. Democrats will likely need at least a 4-point popular vote margin just to win the House of Representatives. Combined with everything we’ve seen during Trump’s presidency and the actions of corrupt judges, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the U.S. has already turned into an illiberal state. Of course, it must be made clear that this democratic backsliding has been driven by the Republican Party and its members — a party that has become fully fascistic. Anyone who genuinely believes in democracy should only have one option at the ballot box: vote blue, no matter who, just as in Hungary the democratic choice was to vote for Tisza.

@saylor @Strategy Buying bitcoin with OPM. Very productive work.

Back to work. $BTC

@BTCoptioneer Yes. By MSTR with unlimited supply at $100

Is $STRC being suppressed?

@vtech16272282 @metsbatflip1 @notgaetti True. Fair to assume he’ll get 2 more seasons of MLB service rime after 2026

@WellspringGP @metsbatflip1 @notgaetti Pete was right. He will be evaluated for the Hall

Pete Alonso wasn’t thrilled with how negotiations were going, and during a meeting at his Tampa club with Steve Cohen and David Stearns, he made that clear. Swinging for the fences, Alonso told Stearns, “When my career is being evaluated for the Hall of Fame years from now, you’ll still be fiddling with your [flipping] formulas.” Only he didn’t say “flipping.” Alonso also argued he’s using analytics and biomechanics to get back to his best — points aimed at appealing to someone like Stearns. But that one comment stood out most. It was a bold statement, especially with Stearns coming off a stronger 2024 than Alonso. Alonso also wasn’t in the strongest negotiating position, given his desire to stay with the Mets despite outside interest from Toronto. Via @JonHeyman

@tbonier Or Democrats could vote for Black Candidates. Like Blacks vote for them.

So the GOP/Supreme Court say that Voting Rights Act protections are no longer necessary, because racism is no longer a problem, then the GOP uses the ruling to eliminate as many Black members of congress as possible. But again, racism is no longer a problem.

@20th_Centurygal Rock and Roll Party in the Streets - Axe Fits this vibe

@TheVegasVice Wynn

If you had to choose just ONE hotel/casino to stay at for every Las Vegas trip for the rest of your life, which one are you picking?

@BTCoptioneer The lack of wash trading limitations on bitcoin should absolutely be exploited by companies trading it. But shareholders shouldn’t be exploited by ever changing and diametrically opposed communication about strategy.

$MSTR selling high cost basis Bitcoin would lock in the loss and solidify ROC dividends. This is a good thing for $STRC and other pref investors who want tax-deferred dividends. Math > emotions.
