yeah nothing but more harm to every aspect of our industry coming from this.

It’s Official: Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. in Deal Valued at $82.7 Billion The streaming giant's proposal includes a $5.8 billion breakup fee and promises to maintain Warner Bros. current operations, "including theatrical releases." Theater owners are already speaking out.

the word layoffs doesn't even appear in this article

It's just all analysts chirping away about synergies

media coverage of itself and its endless consolidation doesn't think labor, consumers, or creatives are actually relevant to anything

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Yaayyyyy!!!!!
