Trump wants to use a shutdown of Republicans’ own making to keep YOU in the dark about our economy.

The September jobs numbers are ready – and Trump must release them.

Without them, the Fed is flying blind while making decisions that impact you.

Disney told to ditch the 'regulatory risk' of broadcast TV, Comcast and Charter zoom towards a cable comeback, and MAGA looks for a TikTok takeover Also in our weekly newsletter covering all things technology, media and telecom, Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another' saves the box office (for real this time, it's truly great)

In this week's Next TMT, Laura Martin suggests that Disney would be better of ditching the "regulatory risk" of broadcasting ABC over the air. We also declare "One Problem After Another" the best movie we've seen since "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." nexttmt.beehiiv.com/p/disney-tol...

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

It really is an awful look. It almost betrays a feeling of Imposter Syndrome he seems to feel about the role.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Violence is pretty out-of-control in Utah Valley. Maybe we deploy the National Guard there.

Tim Cook steps way out of his comfort zone, Netflix lets 'CoComelon' walk, and Claude tries to take over the ship Also in our weekly newsletter covering all things technology, media and telecom, why Memorial Day box-office 'records' are bogus, and how AI toolmakers are pulling investment from M&E

20M Americans went to the movies this past weekend, half as many as Memorial Day 2013. So why is this holiday box office being called "record-breaking"? @davidinla.bsky.social and I ponder that and much more in the latest issue of Next TMT nexttmt.beehiiv.com/p/tim-cook-s...

Hey, timely post. Unfortunate that by the time the institution realizes what it lost, the Texas carpetbagger and that $110 million will be long gone.
