Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

With Paramount the likely buyer of Warner Brothers, these recommendations will be changing soon. Our advise: binge watch HBOMax shows now, and be ready to cancel when Paramount takes over.

Does that mean that Venezuelans now have a right to US Citizenship???

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Unbelievable turnout and energy in NYC!!!!

De Niro's son has autism, and he was actually able to make a joke out of the Tylenol craziness. I guess Melania took Tylenol....

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Can we make him disappear too?

Senator Ted Cruz says FCC acted like 'mafioso' on Jimmy Kimmel The Texas senator affected a mobster accent to criticise how ABC was pressed to take action on the late-night host.

He didn't go as far as calling out Trump for this, but it's implied. Glad he finally stood up for something......at least today. bbc.com/news/article...

I would add Paramount (CBS) to that list too. Think I'll be doing a lot of reading the next few years.

I would add Paramount to that list. They have caved as well.

BBC investigates Afghan maternal deaths after US aid cuts The BBC hears devastating accounts of Afghan mothers and babies dying after US-backed clinics shut.

Speaking of right wing muderers....

I think they will make him regret it.

NYC hates him! I can't believe he has the nerve to show up tomorrow! I hope he goes into the store and sees all of the merchandise celebrating pride and diversity!

There is no proof of this, but there is plenty of scientific data on black lung disease in coal miners, which is on the rise again.

Heartbreaking

For the crime of working

What he's done that's probably in the Epstein files is far worse.

These poor young women are being victimized over again because a bunch of powerful men (on both sides of the aisle) don't wan't to be outed. They will do anything to make sure that those files never see the light of day. If the victims speak publicly, their lives will undoubtedly be threatened.

You can't support fascism and claim to follow Christ's teachings. It's one or the other. They are entirely incompatible.

The Administration Wants Military Women to Know Their Place Pete Hegseth seems to be on a mission to erase women from the top ranks of the U.S. armed forces.

"At this point, women have been cleared out of all of the military’s top jobs."

This is another post breaking down our last post.

The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason

(Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)

When the world rushed “back to normal” & abandoned Covid mitigations, we saw how much ableism & eugenics is ingrained in society.

Disabled people warned you it would give rise to fascism, mass death & disability.

You can’t abandon entire groups & keep your moral compass

I thought the same thing. Everyone seems happy about it, but I don't trust anything this administration does.

Can’t make this up.

We will never surrender in the battle to protect birthright citizenship.
