    It's in the linked article.

    A filing confirms that Paramount’s tender offer is also supported by $24 billion in debt financing from sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, as well as from Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners.

    I saw them open for Vs Self earlier this year (I live kind of near where they're based). I don't think they play live very often but they did put on a great show

    They had a long tour this summer with a bunch of rotating openers. I saw them with Kerosene Heights and Newgrounds Death Rugby. Really great show. It's a heavy album lyrically, just a heads up.

    If you haven't given Infant Island a listen, I highly recommend their 2024 album for a similar to Deafheaven itch

    Oh yeah big fan of Moving Mountains. The new album didn't have much lasting power for me though. Deafheaven is probably in my top 5 favorite albums of the year, if I made my list today.

    I didn't listen to a wide variety of music this year for the first time in like a decade, but instead I spent the year going very deep into the current Midwest emo scene and found a ton of really fucking cool new artists. Next week I'll go my 20th (and last) live show of the year, almost all of which featured bands I hadn't listened to before ~November 2024. It was a really fun year.

    I watched Casino the other night and was sort of underwhelmed. It reminded me too much of Goodfellas, which is maybe my least favorite Scorsese film that I've seen (which I know is a pretty controversial opinion). I have no idea why the first like 20ish minutes of Casino is a voiceover narration. At some point you just gotta get on with the fucking movie, Martin.

    I guess if this is how he wants to spend his time, I'm okay with that. It's objectively funny first of all, and secondly, it takes his attention away from being actively hateful and damaging.

    I watched Honey Don't! tonight and was really into the noir vibe, until about the last 20ish minutes. What the hell was that ending?

    That's what I'm saying though, there was no actual primary for Spanberger. She ran unopposed for the nomination.
