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?

Ah, thanks for explaining!

You missed an opportunity there, “It’s not the size of your dick that will limit you; it’s the quality of your character” is even actually meaningful

Also maybe hydrocolloidal tape might work? I’ve used hydrocolloidal spot dots on cracks in my fingers and they work pretty well. a.co/d/09sRO3WN

I buy lanolin in a little tub on Amazon, it’s much better value than Lansinoh. (Note, it was $9.50 the last time I bought it in Sep 2024; now it’s $18.50 so I might need to shop around…) a.co/d/0aNE11Hk

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

It’s kind of blowing my mind that Seth Moulton is pushing progressive stances and policies. Like, up until a year ago I thought he kinda sucked (for a Dem)? I know he wants Markey’s seat so maybe that’s why he’s shifting leftward, but I’ll take it.

The Supreme Court’s decision is outrageous. Mail carriers don’t get to *decide* what, if anything, they will deliver to you. That’s not how it works. I hope these assholes have at least been fired. And I hope their mail carriers refuse to deliver mail to their houses.

Even if the BBC’s viewers could *and should* have been spared hearing the slur, the Black presenters and audience members at the event were still harmed by hearing it. The responsibility goes beyond the BBC.

Oh nooooo

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

here - not sending this message to millions of people, but l am sending it to you. As you know, I have a book coming out in a few days. It covers some very personal ground, but also has some of the political stories I'm sure you'll enjoy. That includes personal interactions with bed. The invisible plane, the presidential pillow, the state secrets... or what should have been state secrets. You'll enjoy the book. So l am texting to ask you to please fill my hot water bottle before it's too late. Thank you. - Gavin Newsom Stop to Stop

My wife sent me a text asking me to fill up her water bottle in the style of a Democratic fundraising text. Made me giggle.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Inside an AI start-up’s plan to scan and dispose of millions of books Court filings reveal how AI companies raced to obtain more books to feed chatbots, including by buying, scanning and disposing of millions of titles.

“Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world,” an internal planning document unsealed in legal filings last week said. “We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.”

Anthropic can eat shit.

They are on either side of the frame doing a symmetrical sort of presentational jazz hands move toward the center. They are wearing the same outfit of a teal green hat and jacket with dark piping and buttons, only the briefest of briefs below to display maximum leg, and matching heels. Between them is some bold, glittery green art deco type surrounded by curly filigree in front of a dark background lit up with light rays and sparkles. The toe reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
