Infighting among fintech players has caused TabaPay to ‘pull out’ from buying bankrupt Synapse

Infighting among fintech players has caused TabaPay to ‘pull out’ from buying bankrupt Synapse

Published by skeptic

TabaPay has abandoned its plans to purchase the assets of troubled banking-as-a-service startup Synapse, TabaPay confirmed to TechCrunch today. Synapse says the problem is banking partner Evolve Bank & Trust. And Evolve says it is not involved, and not to blame. Meanwhile, another player in the saga, Mercury, says Synapse’s allegations have “no merit.” Synapse’s counsel declared in bankruptcy court on Thursday that the deal would not be moving forward, Fintech Business Weekly’s Jason Mikula shared on LinkedIn. A spokesperson for TabaPay confirmed to TechCrunch on Thursday afternoon that the company had “pulled out,” adding that TabaPay had sent “termination notice of the purchase agreement this morning based on failure to meet the purchase agreement closing conditions.” Synapse CEO and co-founder Sankaet Pathak, however, believes that TabaPay can still be convinced to stay in the deal. He told TechCrunch that his “understanding is that TabaPay is still interested in doing the acquisition, but Evolve has failed to meet their closing condition for TabaPay to be able to close.”  That closing condition is that Evolve Bank …

So empire and the slave trade contributed little to Britain’s wealth? Pull the other one, Kemi Badenoch | Will Hutton

So empire and the slave trade contributed little to Britain’s wealth? Pull the other one, Kemi Badenoch | Will Hutton

Published by skeptic

Britain ran an empire for centuries that at its peak 100 years ago occupied just under a quarter of the world’s land area. Yet if you believe “Imperial Measurement”, a report released last week from the rightwing Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), the net economic impact of this vast empire on Britain was negligible, even negative. If you thought the empire profoundly shaped our industry, trade and financial institutions, with slavery an inherent part of the equation, helped turbocharge the Industrial Revolution and underwrote what was the world’s greatest navy for 150 years, think again. The contribution of the transatlantic trade in enslaved people to our economy was trumped by domestic brewing and sheep farming, opines the IEA. The tax “burden” of defending this barely profitable empire was not worth the candle. Instead, it was free-market economics that unleashed British economic growth – a truth that must be restated before Marxists and reparation-seeking ex-colonies start controlling the narrative. It is a risible recasting of history that should have been ignored as self-serving ideological tosh. But enter …

My brother, Officer Brian Sicknick, died after January 6. Politics continued to pull my family apart

My brother, Officer Brian Sicknick, died after January 6. Politics continued to pull my family apart

Published by skeptic

My brother, United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, collapsed after defending the Capitol Building and everyone in it from pro-Trump insurrectionists on January 6, 2021, and died in the hospital the following day. He suffered two strokes, we learned. In the aftermath of his death, I thought my family would be united in our grief. I didn’t see until later that politics — some of the same on display at the Capitol the day Brian reported for what would be his last shift — were already dividing us. After the Medical Examiner finally released his remains for burial, my family returned to Washington, D.C., to pay our final respects to my kid brother. Brian was one of the few American citizens to lay in honor at the United States Capitol Rotunda, the same building he gave his life to protect. After the public services, we met President Biden, who expressed heartfelt condolences for our loss. The President and his wife came without the press in tow, without photographers. Several other high-ranking officials also quietly …

Dua Lipa: Radical Optimism review – ‘psychedelic pop-infused’? Pull the other one! | Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa: Radical Optimism review – ‘psychedelic pop-infused’? Pull the other one! | Dua Lipa

Published by skeptic

Earlier this year, Dua Lipa gave a lengthy magazine interview, the first salvo on the promotional trail for her third album. It wasn’t very interesting – she’s smart enough to keep her private life and her opinions on anything contentious to herself in a world of over-sharing and constantly simmering online outrage – but there was one surprising detail. She said the album was “a psychedelic pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture”, influenced by Primal Scream, Massive Attack and the “don’t give a fuck-ness” of Oasis and Blur. The artwork for Radical Optimism. Photograph: AP That all sounds intriguing. It would clearly be a dramatic departure from the disco-house sound of 2020’s Future Nostalgia, while feeling curiously of the moment: all those artists reached their peak three decades ago, and 90s revivalism appears to be having a moment. A hankering after the era’s pre-9/11 optimism and pre-smartphone straightforwardness has meant Britpop references suddenly seem to be everywhere, as a recent feature in this newspaper noted. Perhaps, by delving into some corners of the 90s where …

Here, a woman pushes a stroller as the New York skyline is seen from Weehawken, New Jersey. AFP via Getty Images Three of the nation’s largest retailers have pulled weighted infant sleepwear from their shelves over mounting concerns that the products could be unsafe for babies. The decisions by Amazon, Walmart and Target come amid repeated warnings from federal regulators, medical experts and safe-sleep advocates over the potential dangers of products such as swaddles and sleep sacks that contain added weight. “This is a strong first step, and infants deserve more,” Dr. Ben Hoffman, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said in a statement. “Exhausted …

US to Pull Troops From Chad and Niger as the African Nations Question Its Counterterrorism Role

US to Pull Troops From Chad and Niger as the African Nations Question Its Counterterrorism Role

Published by skeptic

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger as it works to restore key agreements governing what role there might be there for the American military and its counterterrorism operations, the Pentagon said Thursday. Both African countries have been integral to the U.S. military’s efforts to counter violent extremist organizations across the Sahel region, but Niger’s ruling junta ended an agreement last month that allows U.S. troops to operate in the West African country. In recent days, neighboring Chad also has questioned whether an existing agreement covered the U.S. troops operating there. The U.S. will relocate most of the approximately 100 forces it has deployed in Chad for now, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Thursday at a press briefing. “As talks continue with Chadian officials, U.S. AFRICOM is currently planning to reposition some U.S. military forces from Chad, some portions of which were already scheduled to depart. This is a temporary step as part of the ongoing review of our security cooperation, which …

“Where’s Melania?”: Missing wife is why Trump’s lawyers can’t pull off the “family man” defense

“Where’s Melania?”: Missing wife is why Trump’s lawyers can’t pull off the “family man” defense

Published by skeptic

In his opening statement in the People v. Donald Trump, defense attorney Todd Blanche told the Manhattan jury to gaze upon the criminal defendant and see a devoted family man. “He’s a man. He’s a husband. He’s a father,” Blanche said of the former president accused of election interference. “He’s a person just like you and just like me.” Hamfisted as it may be, it was a play by Blanche to distance his cranky, often sleepy client from what promised to be days, if not weeks, of testimony detailing a tawdry conspiracy to pay hush money to an adult film actress in order to cover up what sounds like rampant adultery.  There are many obvious pitfalls in this effort to recast Trump in the image of a suburban sitcom dad. The biggest might be one very noticeable absence in the courtroom. As a reporter who was pointedly ignored by Trump asked on Tuesday: “Where’s Melania?”  Want more Amanda Marcotte on politics?

Mayor Bass’ ambitious housing program calls on L.A.’s wealthy. Can she pull it off?

Mayor Bass’ ambitious housing program calls on L.A.’s wealthy. Can she pull it off?

Published by skeptic

Los Angeles has always been a city of extremes, but the homelessness crisis is exposing the divide between rich and poor in startling ways. A-listers in designer gowns and million-dollar jewels parade down the red carpet, blocks from tents where people live in unsanitary conditions. Private jets take off at Van Nuys Airport, soaring over streets lined with RVs and crowded apartment complexes. Rising housing prices are turbocharging the finances of homeowners while leaving others unable to afford a roof over their heads. Now, Mayor Karen Bass is calling on L.A.’s wealthy residents to help narrow that economic chasm with a new initiative that will rely on private donations and loans to buy apartments for the city’s unhoused, who at last count numbered more than 46,000. Philanthropic and real estate leaders reacted with hope and skepticism to the initiative, LA4LA, which Bass unveiled Monday during her State of the City address. LA4LA will target corporations and foundations as well as individuals. While Bass’ allies applauded her work on homelessness, others privately questioned how far the …
