Maybe it's a big city thing but any business without a traditional cash register is card only around me. Even our vending machines stopped taking cash.

9:17pm: Zelensky says expects long-range missiles, jets from West
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday he wanted the West to send long-range missiles and jets to his war-torn country to help repel Russian troops.

"I've spoken with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg today," Zelensky said after the United States and Germany announced they would be sending heavy tanks to Ukraine.

"We must also open deliveries of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important -- we must expand our cooperation in artillery," Zelensky said, also adding Ukraine needed jets. "This is a dream. And this is a task."

Sounds like he wants the Saudi arrangement where we also supply the pilots and mechanics to operate them.

Or... maybe he's retarded??

ew court filings have shown that bankrupt crypto exchange FTX owes money to Apple, Binance, Coinbase, Netflix, and more. The names were revealed on the extensive FTX creditor list that went public today.

The 116-page document displays a host of well-known corporations and distinguishes the immense reach of FTX. Institutions, media companies, and fellow cryptocurrency exchange platforms adorn the list that did host 9.7 million redacted customer names according to Coindesk.
The collapse of FTX is undoubtedly one of the greatest scandals in the relatively young history of the crypto sector. A platform that was once praised for its reputable standing, has now plummeted to bankruptcy. Subsequently, seeing many of its founders and top brass were arrested for fraud.

Now, as the company is in the midst of its bankruptcy proceedings, the recently publicized creditor list shows FTX owes money to Apple, Binance, Netflix, and many more. The document is 116 pages long and features Universities, airlines, and even charities.

The filing was conducted by the FTX legal team and was a product of the ongoing bankruptcy court proceedings in the U.S. Court of Delaware. The judge on the case, John Dorsey, previously allowed the names of the creditors to remain sealed at January’s hearing. Conversely, he requested a list of institutional investors to be filled by the platform.

That request has led to the list of companies that now see their names on FTX’s seemingly endless creditors. There was a plethora of media companies like the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Fox, and the aforementioned Netflix. Accompanied by a host of crypto entities like Binance and Coinbase, and even Stanford University and its credit union.

The credit list does not specifically state the amount of money each entry is owed. However, FTX had previously admitted to owing nearly #3.1 billion to its top 50 creditors according to Coindesk. Moreover, the report notes the two largest claims were for $226 million and $203 million.

So this is why SBF was arrested in the middle of his apology tour.

"Look, politicians, I know this guy gave you a lot of money but we give you money too. And unlike him, we got money to give. Now why don't you be good whores and get the money he owes us, mmkay?"

All this Ukraine stuff going on... we keep sending them weapons, and they're supposedly winning, but this thing keeps dragging on. I was helping a family member clean out a bookcase in their bedroom recently, and they had MSNBC on. While I was working, I overheard the anchor whining about people using "online chatrooms" to say that "Russia isn't that bad". Like they know people can use the Internet to go around them and not listen to this lying narrative they push. The corpopress has built up Putin to be this big bad guy for the better part of a decade, and they HATE that there are other ways to get information out there which don't involve listening to a talking head on cable news.

People with frenchyness.

What is this insanity? A "the" construction is one of the most basic bits if grammar. Without it, you have to resort to over-complex structures like "people of french extraction" or similar shit. It is entirely an attempt to sound smart by using overly-verbose prose. Something to which the AP should be completely opposed.
