The president couldn’t be charged for taking the billionaires’ money but the money could still be returned. An assassination can’t be undone.

As opposed to the discs movies are sold on.
Apparently “recordable media” here means the kind you can record on at home, e.g. CD-R, DVD-R.
I think he’d at least need to be clear on which part is a lie; did the killings not actually happen or are they not his fault?
With any tech that allows the same quality with less data, there will always be someone pushing to cut quality to save even more data.

Its just unreasonable to expect spotify to be able to afford that when they already barely pay musicians.
The audiobooks help them pay even less for music:
With the introduction of the stand-alone audiobooks offering, Spotify is now able to pay lower music-licensing rates for the music-and-audiobook bundle, introduced in the U.S. in November 2023. The 2022 settlement agreement between the National Music Publishers Assn. and streaming services includes a carveout for bundles (such as Amazon Prime and Apple Music + Apple News), which the new audiobook offering falls under. Such plans lower the mechanical licensing rates the company pays in the U.S. Spotify’s lower royalty rates are retroactive to March 1, 2024.
However, NMPA president-CEO David Israelite had strong words for the move when contacted for comment by Variety. “It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,” he wrote. “Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move that ends our period of relative peace. We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022 and are looking at all options.” The NMPA and streaming services resolved a years-long standoff over royalty rates with a Copyright Royalty Board ruling in 2022, and agreed upon a new rate of 15.35% for the 2023-2027 period.
Here’s the article; the link in the OP points to a discussion thread.
The chair ought to be questioning whether the company should continue to employ someone who needs that much “motivation”, not urging shareholders to give it to him.
The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but frequently the House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics waive the fee.
Craig Holman, a Capitol Hill lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance rules for nonprofit Public Citizen, said the fee is one of two reasons why the STOCK Act is frequently violated.
“The penalty is so minimal that these millionaire members of Congress really don’t care about it," Holman told Raw Story. “The second provision is the ethics committees are not really enforcing it or taking it seriously.”
So basically this “law” is just a suggestion.
Meanwhile, his classified documents case being handled by a judge he appointed to the court is somehow not a conflict.
Less likely isn’t the same as unlikely, most of those people probably just went from definitely voting for Trump to probably voting for Trump.
I’ve seen suggestions that the AI Overview is based on the top search results for the query, so the terrible answers may be more to do with Google Search just being bad than any issue with their AI. The AI Overview just makes things a bit worse by removing the context, so you can’t see the glue on pizza suggestion was a joke on reddit or it was The Onion suggesting eating rocks.
Well, you see, they don’t have cash on hand because they spent it on stock buybacks to boost that market cap
This week they were even against energy efficient applicances.
Please make a joke about how Trump is trying to convince the Supreme Court it shouldn’t be a crime for you to have him killed.
And now that he’s back he’s only working Mondays, so he’s got less risk of exhaustion and new people still get the rest of the week.
He doesn’t have immunity for the crimes but there is testimony about things he said to staff while in office and the Supreme Court has declared such conversations off-limits. They really went out of their way to cover for Trump, except for the part where Biden would probably have immunity for having him killed.
