“This BFF situation has now turned into a soap opera that remains an overhang on Tesla’s stock with investors fearing that the Trump Administration will be more hawkish and show scrutiny around Musk-related US government spending,” said Dan Ives, analyst at Wedbush Securities, in a note to investors Tuesday.

The difficulty it took for Republicans, who have the majority hold in Congress, to wrestle the bill to this point is not expected to let up. The package now goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid,

okay i'm relieved that even though they passed it it has to go back to the House
papermint tiger
i really hope they slice more of the crap out of it
Jay
It is also my hope, but my fear is the contingent of republicans who are like “I don’t support this because the cuts don’t go too far enough”

Well, if they make changes, I think it's got to go back to the Senate?

There's no way it can pass through the House again in less than three days.

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ‘25-30 minutes’ of ads and trailers
vyeresz 🐍
ohhh that explains why I've already noticed ad segment running times that feel longer than what I paid an arm and a leg to see in a theatre
Platinum
AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that “movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.”
Platinum
The company made an agreement with the National CineMedia ad network that includes as much as five minutes of commercials shown “after a movie’s official start time,” according to The Hollywood Reporter, and an additional 30-to-60-second “Platinum Spot” that plays before the last one or two trailers.
Platinum
Sorry, gang, gotta have my spot
papermint tiger
man, no wonder i feel like i don't have time for movies anymore
papermint tiger
not only am i sitting through some 2 hours of movie itself, now there's an additional half hour of ads? hard pass
Platinum
Yeah, I saw a thing from a director saying that now that they're no longer hamstrung by having to make things fit on VHS and DVD limits, they're free to make movies as long as they want.
Platinum
And, like, on the one hand? Good on you being able to make your vision as you want it?
Platinum
On the other, like. There's something to be said for telling a story in less than two hours.

to this day I remember how numb my butt was watching Avengers Endgame in the theatre, I refuse to see a movie that long in a theatre again

with the extra long movies, I feel like it really depends on the pacing and direction. LOTR Return of the King was 3hr 21min. I watched that in theaters SIX TIMES when it first came out. and Oppenheimer was right around the 3hr mark. very easy to get through. but some other movies over the 2.5hr mark are just a slog fest

i just can't sit through anything that long without needing a bathroom break, if they're going to keep doing this they need to bring back intermissions
