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?

Not good

I’ve been worried about this. Thank you for doing the right and decent thing!

The Viral "Three Swallow" Test May Reveal How Stressed You Are How to tell if your body is stuck in stress mode using the "three swallow" test.

This is why science and critical thinking are on life support. This full-length piece about the body's reaction to stress - www.bustle.com/wellness/thr... - is entirely based on a social media fad, with input from "experts" with no medical or science degrees in sight.

We're gonna die from stupid.

This. Is unacceptable.

I usually agree with this guy, but in this he over-simplifies the issue. “Experiencing politics” is about so much more than being a satisfied consumer of government service.

We can be a nation where engaged citizenship is valued, taught in classrooms, and practiced at all levels of government.

Going Deeper: The Real World Impacts of Trump's Cruelty See the damage through the eyes of Mary

You don’t experience politics in speeches.
You experience it in grocery bills, canceled classes, hospital closures, and family stress.

My new column “Going Deeper” looks at one ordinary day — and how Washington follows people home.

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

Heartfelt message to everyone who said:

- both parties are the same
- Trump will shake things up
- we're not ready for a woman in the White House
- we're not ready for a Black president
- I'm not bothering to vote

Fuck you all.

Love,

I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)

Stupid gonna stupid.

“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

So many points for "onanistic submoron".

What DOJ is doing with the Epstein files is mischaracterized as “failing.” They are performing exactly as they were ordered. The story here isn’t about failure. It’s about systemic, engineered cover up and crony protection.

For those keeping score at home:

Maybe this is what Florida needs to snap the fuck out of it.

CNN does not say that. I sympathize with the inference, but now more than ever, we MUST be careful with our leaps of inference. If we mean to be part of the solution, rather than part of the noise.

CNN says only white people can be working class.

Reagan-appointee Judge Young on Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio:

“These cabinet secretaries have failed in their duties to protect the Constitution.”

Oh please!

Here. This is how it’s supposed to go.

In Minnesota, Everywhere Is a Front Line What a federal invasion looks like from the inside.

"if Minnesota has demonstrated anything since being turned into a microcosm of this broader struggle against totalitarianism, it’s how to turn despair into not only action, but genuine solidarity — the kind that better worlds are made of."

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

Presidents don’t appoint themselves to foreign offices. Trump believes he can. He treats power as personal rather than bounded by law, asserting authority without constraint. The question now is not what he claims, but which institutions will enforce the limits that still exist.

An 92 year old man was protesting ICE yesterday, alone in a chair, along the main drag in Menlo Park - just north of Stanford.

A passerby pulled him off the chair, snapped his sign in half, and left him bloody and bruised.

Even here, another victim of Trump.

National public media has nothing to lose now by adopting this. Defunded, maligned, targeted - what if it took the pledge (no pun intended) to kick access journalism to the curb and serve the people loudly and honestly, in this unprecedented time of national crisis?
