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?

After many years of reporting and writing, the day is finally here: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out today.

I poured everything into this book, and I hope it ignites outrage at the fact that so many people in the richest nation on earth have been deprived of one of the most basic human necessities.

3/3 Oscar-nominated for Best International Film. I am still trying to figure out why I loved Sirat! The setting, the story and the score play a part in it. The tonal shift also. It's all about what is lost and somewhat found.

It's one that you just have to see.

Brilliant.

3/3 The film beautifully captures the fear of being disposable in a system that doesn't care about loyalty or effort and how that fear can push someone toward choices they never would have made otherwise.

As utterly brilliant as it is said to be.

2/3 A dark, brilliantly funny, melodrama from the undisputed master of such things - Park Chan-wook. A visual masterpiece, perfectly executed. No Other Choice is an absolute feast for the eyes, ears and mind.

1/3 Man-su has been a loyal employee for 25 years, until an abrupt layoff upends his life. Desperate to find work and provide for his family, he concludes the only way to get ahead in such an impossible job market is to take out the competition - literally.

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Mondayโ€™s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadnโ€™t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanityโ€ฆ and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think weโ€™d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

2/2
All Her Fault explores the chasm of what some parents will go through to keep their family intact. Uncover the dark and twisted secrets of one seemingly perfect family.

A brilliantly paced and executed TV thriller. Sarah Snook is sublime in what is one of 2025's best.

2/2 Things get interesting and twisted once customers realise they have been cheated.

A psychological thriller that comments on our increasing penchant for online consumerism and the perceived distance/anonymity that brings. Or does it?

1/2 A stylish, subversive thriller from suspense-maverick Kiyoshi Kurosawa (1997's Cure and 2001's Pulse).

Cloud concerns Yoshii, an ambitious, yet directionless, young factory worker from Tokyo who side hustles in the murky realm of black market reselling, cheating buyers and sellers alike.

2/2 The film explores its rich history of journalism, culture, and cartoons, while looking at challenges facing long-form, fact-based reporting in the digital age, highlighting the dedicated 'obsessives' behind its craft.

This is absolute gold, especially if you are a lover of the magazine.
