Kotaku, floating in space, staring at Earth: “All those NFTs are officially worthless?”
Man in space suit pointing handgun at the back of Kotaku’s head: “Always have been.”
HODL! (That was schadenfreude indeed!)
I love that you feel you need to defend your ownership of beenie babies.
I bought a beenie baby once, and I didn’t inhale!
Nah, it’s just that they’re not completely worthless. They’re cute and cheap. I don’t have a whole army of them!
One of my sister’s coworkers did buy up lots of them planning to make a real killing. That’s just sad.
As they say with art, buy what you like. If it appreciates fine, but at least you’re living with something that makes you happy.
I still remember how horrified another mom in a playgroup was that my preschooler was playing with her Princess Di Beanie Baby. That mom had put all her child’s Beanie Babies up on a shelf where she couldn’t touch them, because they were going to be very valuable someday! (I thought, but didn’t say, that I preferred buying her just a couple of stuffed toys and actually investing money in, y’know, investment accounts.)
These collectors have closets full of incandescent bulbs, barrels of bleach, a century supply of horse dewormer, gallons of fish tank cleaner, lupus medication, UV lights and DJT NFTs. The future looks bright, just come over here and stare into the sun.
I’m in shock - I just went to eBay an searched “sold BBs”, and the apparent high seller went for more than I have in my house, $69k. Many at the low end went for, in groups, a couple of bucks each, but for the entertainment value, check out the high end. And we wonder about people voting for (the t-word).
Dan for (the t-word).
Trump posted another Washington Post article on Truth. He obviously did not read the article, only the headline: Fox viewers love Trump. Newsmax viewers idolize him. It is not a flattering article but I guess he knows his fans won’t actually read it either. As long as it says in the headline that he is popular, the Washington Compost is alright with him.
I wonder if Washington Post is OK with people stealing and republishing entire articles on other websites? I hear copyright is a thing many for-profit media operations take kinda seriously.
It’s the third or fourth time he’s done this with the Washington Post recently. Just another thing he gets away with. Maybe Bezos thinks he’s more trouble than he’s worth.
Or they could figure, why bother, why run up lawyer bills, when there are so many cases, civil and criminal, ahead of them in the legal queue.
Might be a nice juicy lawsuit in it for them. Unless they like being advertised on the trump channel.
Well, it’s seven years and counting, so…
Gonna x-post this here:
When was the last time Trump actually won something?
I’m sorry all. Does this mean that Trump can’t do business in NYC? What about the rent he collects?
Does it just mean he can’t start anything new?
I personally think all of his NYC assets should be seized (don’t kick people out though). And all rent paid to Trump goes to the city for back taxes, after that’s collected, a fund should be set up for rape victims and the homeless.
Just a month ago in fact!
Just ask him!
I think there is still a ways to go before that is fully decided. Near as I can tell this appears to have been a preliminary hearing related to the factual evidence of whether Trump’s evaluation of his properties was accurate (they weren’t) and a slap down of his lawyers to the tune of $7,500 for repeatedly trying a defense that they had been told was BS.
In his order, Justice Engoron wrote scathingly about Mr. Trump’s defenses, saying that the former president and the other defendants, including his two adult sons and his company, ignored reality when it suited their business needs. “In defendants’ world,” he wrote, “rent-regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air.”
“That is a fantasy world, not the real world,” he added.
The judge also levied sanctions on Mr. Trump’s lawyers for making arguments that he previously rejected. He ordered each to pay $7,500, noting that he had previously warned them that the arguments in question bordered on being frivolous.
Great minds think alike and by an amazing coincidence so do ours.
