This is the "Fox News defense".

Well to be fair, he is a "Murdoch"
A New Yorker reporter was recently deported for reporting on the Columbia student protests. This unfriendly climate will kill tourism in America. Then it will have a ripple effect as future presidents and prime ministers go elsewhere to study, killing America's soft power among elites of other countries. And for what? It's not like legal student visa holders were causing a crime wave.
At least this shows Europe (Anti-tourism is spreading across Europe) a way forward in how to stop tourism
He's... not wrong.
We should be really scared of people who are excited about finding ways to kill people we (or our allies) are in conflict with, but they're a necessary evil as those people exist on the other side of the conflict.
They are weapons, ideally to be controlled by more measured and compassionate people, and deployed in self-defense against people who aren't quite so restrained.
For instance, the people finding new ways to kill Russian troops in Ukraine. They're getting lots of people killed, but it's justified because Russia invaded and started indiscriminately killing a lot of innocent people.
Like the Training Day quote...

... it would seem that Iran is more afraid of Trump than Harris.
Actually they're angry that Trump had Qassem Soleimani killed.
It's kind of funny. The Russians hack the Democrats, the Iranians hack Trump. The Russians and Iranians are practically allies. They should probably schedule some collaborative hacker meetings to make sure they're on the same page.
...shutting down its Stadia game streaming service this summer
That's just what I was thinking. They said the same about Stadia, and yet it was canceled. To be fair, they didn't do it in the summer, but I think it's fair to say that Fitbit's days are probably numbered. Especially after all the feature removals that Google has been pulling with Fitbit.
Their problem is they have no serious path to long term profitability.
That is the right answer. Reddit cannot rely on growth anymore, not at this point. And it's certainly not profitable in its current form. Warning about a bunch of "troublemakers" messing with the price is ignoring the giant iceberg ahead.
Microsoft has announced an atomic energy station to power its AI needs.
You're not wrong. Maybe AI will be the thing to bring Nuclear back in favor? https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/26/23889956/microsoft-next-generation-nuclear-energy-smr-job-hiring

Very different play by Disney this time around, but just as effective.
Just wait until they are looking for Mr Tuttle and accidentally arrest Mr Buttle. But that wouldn't happen. They don't make mistakes.
You're absolutely right. Bonus points for the Brazil reference btw.
