D’Amore also noted how proud he was to build the team behind the scenes, saying the company was “deader than dead” as a brand and he had an 80 hour plus obsession to rebuild it, naming Tommy Dreamer, Jimmy Jacobs and Robert Evans specifically as part of the team.
He's talking about when he arrived in 2017, not now. PWInsider should have been clearer in their summary.
The Nickelback version was more appropriate for a wrestling show anyway.
It annoys me so much that NXT did the Rascalz reunion before this match aired. Why would Trey and Wentz team with Kushida when they've got Dez/Wes back?
The update is pretty important:
Update, July 5, 1:50 p.m. PT: Apple has told IGN that it has now approved the Epic Sweden AB Marketplace app, and that it's asked Epic to fix the appearance similarity issue in a future submission. Epic Games confirmed this with an update on its X/Twitter account, which you can see below.
I meant kill it by stalling it in Parliament long enough to make sure implementation couldn't happen in time for the election. If the Conservatives won the election they wouldn't follow through with implementing the bill.
The line is in the subtitles as "At least Z’s safe with us until we do.”
But what if Trudeau tried to recapture that significant slice of the electorate whose hearts he broke, by bringing back his pledge to reform our election system? Except this time, don’t just talk about it: do it.
If his confidence-and-supply agreement with the New Democrats endures until Fall 2025 as scheduled, Trudeau would have ample time to dust off all the work his previous ministers and committees undertook and get a bill before Parliament for debate.
The author seems to think that passing a bill is all it would take to implement electoral reform, but I suspect it would just be the beginning of a process that almost certainly could not be completed before next year's election. The Conservatives might even try to stall the bill long enough to kill the whole thing.
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.
Today for Masha Slamovich vs Shayna Baszler at Bloodsport, Jordynne Grace came out with Masha and Zoey Stark came out with Shayna, so there's a potential tag match they could go with.
There's an opt-out in User Settings under Privacy & Safety.
Customers who go through self-checkout must use the device to scan their receipt's barcode — confirming that they paid something — which opens a metal gate, letting them leave.
How is that supposed to help at all in stopping theft? "Oh, you paid for something, you definitely aren't leaving with anything you didn't pay for." I can't see a way "organized crime" could possibly work around that. /s

Skyway is small and the tickets are cheap, so there could easily be more proceeds from the auctions and collectibles than from ticket sales.
