Pam Bondi has been nominated by the president-elect to serve as Attorney General, replacing Matt Gaetz, who retired claiming that the ongoing investigation in the House Ethics Committee concerning him is a “distraction.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “For too long, the Justice Department has been used as a weapon against me and other Republicans. Not anymore. Pam will refocus the Justice Department on its goal of fighting crime and making America safe again. I have known Pam for many years-she is smart and tenacious and an AMERICA FIRST style fighter who will do a great job as Attorney General!” Bondi’s name began circulating soon after the announcement of Gaetz’s retirement as Florida congressman and nomination as AG. According to CNN sources, Gaetz’s confirmation was a virtual impossibility. The allegations against him and the documents filed with the House Ethics Committee—not yet made public, although the request has already been made by both parties—had instilled doubt among Republican senators. Once the decision was made, Trump summoned Bondi to Mar-a-Lago before officially offering her the position. Bondi served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, first at the municipal level, in Tampa, and then at the state level. Currently, she is president of the think tank Center for Litigation at the America First Policy Institute, which is working with Trump’s transition team on the administration agenda. She is known as a great mediator, however, her most notable quality is her absolute loyalty to Trump. It is a relationship that has been ongoing since 2016, when the tycoon’s name first appeared in the Republican primaries. In his rivalry with Marco Rubio, she sided with the current president-elect and never wavered in her support from then on. In fact, she attended every event in Florida; she appeared repeatedly on Fox News, this summer she spoke at the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, she became close to Trump’s entourage, linking up with Susie Wiles, now nominated as chief of staff, and attorney Boris Epshteyn. In 2019, she served on Trump’s defense panel in his first impeachment trial. Most recently, together with a team of lawyers, she filed an amicus brief with a federal appeals court in the case of top secret documents withheld by the tycoon after he left the White House. Unlike Gaetz, Bondi seems to have few skeletons in the closet. The reservations existing against her nomination stem mainly from an incident in 2013, when she received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation. At the time, her attorney general’s office was considering whether to join a lawsuit against Trump University for alleged fraud, and after receiving that money, Bondi decided not to participate. This raised concerns in Democratic circles especially, about a potential conflict of interest and her impartiality. However, at this point the Senate seems to be favorable to the nomination. Allies of the president-elect breathed a sigh of relief, commenting to CNN that the confirmation process for Bondi would be “much easier than Gaetz.”Digital Foundry first manifested on the pages of Eurogamer way back in 2007, looking at the differences between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 software - but what if DF actually emerged back in 1994, examining the fifth generation consoles: Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation? We can answer that question today with the publication of the first in an occasional series, where DF Retro goes back to the consoles and games of the 90s, using today's tools and methodologies to compare the games that made their way to both Sega and Sony platforms. Cross-platform development back in the day was very different to how it is in the current era. For the last eleven years, both Microsoft and Sony hardware was essentially delivered the same core AMD technology that's PC-based in nature, streamlining games development. In the PlayStation and Saturn era, developers were faced with two fundamentally different boxes that generated 3D visuals in completely different ways (triangles on PS1, quads on Saturn) using entirely different development environments. While it's acknowledged that PlayStation's 3D performance was significantly better than Saturn's, the Saturn could still produce some impressive results, with many titles arguably surpassing the Sony equivalent depending on how they were implemented. Developers were required to be innovative in supporting multiple consoles, often employing entirely different approaches in delivering their ports - even if the end output result looked quite similar. It's also worth stressing the importance of the 'lead platform' - a concept we've typically forgotten about in the current era. Back in the day - and even moving into the Xbox 360/PS3 era - there was the concept that games were developed with specific target hardware in mind, playing to their strengths. That's definitely born out in the Saturn/PlayStation era, where PlayStation-led games could struggle on Saturn - and yes, vice-versa. You'll see some fascinating examples of this play out in today's video. All of which brings us to today's new DF Retro episode, where John Linneman sets out to catalogue the multi-platform driving and racing games of the fifth generation console era, using the techniques we've developed across the years, but brought to bear on mid to late 90s software. This hasn't been easy - primarily because analysis is derived from digital video footage, which wasn't available to us back then. Thanks to HDMI mods for legacy consoles, we do now have that facility... for the PlayStation, at least. Things are much trickier with Sega Saturn, where its combination of video layers derived from separate VDP1 and VDP2 processors currently make HDMI mods impossible. We've almost cracked it though: Mike Chi's RetroTink 4K processes and scales RGB signals from the Saturn to such a level of quality that we can work with the video within our tools, making the comparisons you see today possible. However, even then, we had challenges. An digital output derived from an analogue source still isn't a clean HDMI signal and in many cases, manual verification of performance data was required and yes, we're talking about frame-by-frame verification by eye . Meanwhile, let's just say that the odd title on PlayStation with screen-tearing proved quite baffling to process, to the point where much older algorithms developed very early on Digital Foundry's history proved useful. Still, I hope you enjoy the video, because there's plenty of great stuff to enjoy. The 90s were a fascinating era for gaming as we transitioned from 2D to 3D and the whole generation was highly experimental. Publishing 'taboos' seen today weren't really a thing back then, so viewed through the lens of modern publishing, it's remarkable to see WipEout and Destruction Derby - Sony first-party exclusives - eventually appear on Saturn. Yes, the received internet wisdom is that the PlayStation enjoyed the better experience but at this point we can now quantify that with objective data and subjective comparisons. However, not every multi-platform release was a PlayStation 'win'. Elsewhere, Sega's console still delivered some solid ports: EA titles like The Need For Speed and Road Rash actually saw significant advantages on Saturn, stacked up against PlayStation. Ubisoft's Street Racer sees the developer produces very different visuals for every single version of the game ever made! PlayStation had full 3D terrain, Saturn uses VDP2 for a Mode 7-style effect: both are excellent in their own way. The deeper you dig into 90s multi-platform console development, the more surprises you see. Of course, we're just covering driving/racing titles today and this is just the first in a series of videos we're planning to produce. We're already significantly into a second episode covering shoot 'em ups, which is just as fascinating in terms of how games played to the strengths of each system - but looking back, while there was a good level of crossover in games released for both platforms, the concept of the exclusive was much stronger back in the day - and it was not just the first parties themselves that delivered those games. Back then - much more than now - there was a real reason for owning both systems, as I did, even though I was the editor of the official Sega Saturn magazine from 1996 onwards. As for the concept of Digital Foundry content being possible in the 1990s, that would have been challenging to say the least. We did have frame grabbers that digitised analogue inputs and we could capture RGB images of good - even pristine - quality, to the point where they presented in a way that didn't quite reflect the CRT experience. Video capture was possible as we sometimes received VHS tapes of footage, or in the case of the N64 at E3 1996, a betacam cassette of broadcast quality (long since lost before the archivists mail me) but a 'digital video' of sufficient quality that could be scanned for duplicate frame information would have been virtually impossible. The transition from analogue to digital video outputs changed everything, it arrived with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and that's where the DF story effectively begins.

Kyiv says fatalities among its soldiers since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 have reached 43,000, a rare estimate much lower than a figure offered by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. The toll was revealed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement on the social media platform X on Sunday, hours after Trump claimed that Ukraine’s had “lost” 400,000 soldiers. Still, it’s unclear if Trump was referring to wounded troops as well as those killed. Zelenskyy said there had been 370,000 cases of “medical assistance for the wounded” on the battlefield, including light or repeat injuries. About half of the Ukrainian soldiers wounded in action have later returned to service, he said. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, the morning after a meeting in Paris with Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump provided an estimate of casualties for both Ukrainian and Russian troops in the almost three-year old war. “Close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead,” Trump said. Russia’s defense ministry doesn’t publish casualty estimates. Trump called for an “immediate ceasefire” followed by negotiations, adding that Zelenskyy “would like to make a deal” to end the war. While Ukraine’s government doesn’t deny it seeks peace, it has repeatedly stressed the necessity of obtaining meaningful guarantees from its allies, led by the U.S. “When we talk about an effective peace with Russia, we should first of all talk about effective guarantees of peace,” Zelenskyy said in Sunday’s X post. The war “cannot simply end with a piece of paper and a few signatures,” Zelenskyy said. “A ceasefire without guarantees can be reignited at any moment.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also responded to Trump’s social media post, repeating Moscow’s message that it’s open to talks but referring to “conditions” outlined in July by Putin. That included “taking account the realities emerging ‘on the ground,” Peskov said, at a time Russian forces have been making steady advances through parts of eastern Ukraine. The updated fatality estimate from Zelenskyy implies that about 12,000 service members have died since February, when Ukraine’s leader officially estimated the death toll at 31,000. In an interview with Japan’s Kyodo News published on Dec. 1, Zelenskyy denied reports that as many as 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed. The Wall Street Journal reported the figure in September, citing sources it didn’t identify. (With assistance from Áine Quinn.) ©2024 Bloomberg L.P. Visit bloomberg.com.

Letter: Democrats want unity on own terms

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — CNN wants a court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson that attacks its report that he made explicit posts on a pornography website’s message board. The network says Robinson presented no evidence that the network believed its story was false or aired it recklessly. The September report says Robinson, who ran unsuccessfully for governor this month, left statements over a decade ago on the message board in which, in part, he referred to himself as a “black NAZI" and said he enjoyed transgender pornography. The report also says he preferred Adolf Hitler to then-President Barack Obama and slammed the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as “worse than a maggot.” Robinson, who was seeking to become the state's first Black governor, said he didn’t write those posts and sued in October, just before early in-person voting was to begin. While filing a dismissal motion Thursday in Raleigh federal court, attorneys for CNN said Robinson’s arguments suggesting he was the likely victim of a computer hacking operation that created fake messages would require a series of events that is not just “implausible, it is ridiculous.” Generally speaking, a public official claiming defamation must show a defendant knew a statement it made was false or did so with reckless disregard for the truth. “Robinson did not and cannot plausibly allege facts that show that CNN published the Article with actual malice,” attorney Mark Nebrig wrote in a memo backing the dismissal motion, adding that the lawsuit “does not include a single allegation demonstrating that CNN doubted the veracity of its reporting.” For Robinson, who already had a history of inflammatory comments about topics like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights , the CNN story nearly led to the collapse of his campaign. After the report's airing, most of his top campaign staff quit, advertising from the Republican Governors Association stopped and fellow Republicans distanced themselves from him, including President-elect Donald Trump. Robinson lost to Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein by nearly 15 points and will leave office at year-end. Robinson's lawsuit was initially filed in state court. It says, in part, that CNN chose to run its report based on data from the website NudeAfrica, which had been hacked several years ago and ran on vulnerable, outdated software. His suit claims the network did nothing to verify the posts. He's seeking monetary damages. Thursday's memo highlights the network's story, including a section where the CNN journalists showed how they connected Robinson to a username on the NudeAfrica site. As the CNN story said previously, the memo says the network matched details of the account on the message board to other online accounts held by Robinson by comparing usernames, an email address and his full name. The details discussed by the account holder matched Robinson’s length of marriage, where he lived at the time, and that both Robinson and the account holder had mothers who worked at a historically Black university, the memo says. CNN also said it found matches of figures of speech used by both the NudeAfrica account holder and in Robinson’s social media posts. “This is hardly a case where, as Robinson alleges, CNN ‘disregarded or deliberately avoided the truth’ rather than investigate,” Nebrig said, adding later that the network “had no reason to seriously doubt that Robinson was the author” of the posts. Robinson's attorneys didn't immediately respond to an email Friday seeking comment. The lawsuit says anyone could have used Robinson's breached data to create accounts on the internet. His state lawsuit also sued Louis Love Money, a former porn shop worker who alleged in a music video and a media interview that for several years starting in the 1990s, Robinson frequented a porn shop where Money was working and that Robinson purchased porn videos from him. Robinson said that was untrue. Money filed his own dismissal motion in the state lawsuit. But since then, CNN moved the lawsuit to federal court, saying that it's the proper venue for a North Carolina resident like Robinson and a Georgia-based company like CNN and that the claims against Money are unrelated.

NEW ORLEANS — A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans, gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, T-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he'd had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he's roamed free. The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. It was Cheramie's window Scrim leaped from in November. She's resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts.
