RICH PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEAVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE IF THEIR TAXES INCREASE FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT THEY CAN EASILY AFFORD IT

can someone please get him

HIRE THIS MAN!!!!!!! HIRE HIM, DO IT!!!!!!!

YouTube is astroturfing everyone's 2025 recap analysis to make it look like the thing they're most interested in is genAI.

Shitting out your intestinal lining for freedom.

i fucking love my country of MPLS

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).

Anyone who complains when critics put films you haven’t seen on their best of the year list doesn’t understand that our job is literally to watch more movies than you do and inform you about them. I mean hundreds more, every year. That’s what we do.

But look on the bright side, now we’ll get Batman fighting Stranger Things.

That this is happening the same year Warner Bros. released SINNERS makes even more depressed about it.

Yeahhhhh this could legitimately be a death knell for theatrical distribution. Every time major studios merge it means fewer wide release films get made in general - which means fewer jobs for filmmakers and worse times for theaters - but in this case it could wreck the whole system.

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

when you actually know trans people, are in community with them.. shit's different, huh? much love for these leaders. this is how you lead.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy. Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality. John Roberts > Roger Taney. Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

Who controls what IP isn't what's at play with this new merger: it's about who gets your attention & dollars. It means fewer shows & fewer movies as not to step on each other's dicks. 1/3 of Hollywood is already out of work from past consolidation. How many more voices will they run out of town?

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.

This merger extra pisses me off because of that time Netflix built up their animation department and gave so many people jobs and basically promised a new era for animation full of interesting creator-driven projects and then ripped most of those jobs away before there was anything to show for it

You have to admire it: the one thing David Zazlav was ever any good at was fucking things up, and he's done a marvelous job of fucking things up for Larry Ellison.

Well. I won a couple bets, at least.

The Mouse always has a long term plan 🤷‍♂️ www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

I mean ending prison rape protections, come the fuck on!! They are openly declaring that they believe trans women should be brutally raped in prison! Where is the outrage?

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy". The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

I do worry that spinning off CNN means the Ellisons could still scoop it up to push it to the right but it isn't the cultural behemoth that HBO and other Warner properties are.

This is absolutely terrible from a media consolidation standpoint. These conglomerates need to be broken up. However, it does mean the Ellisons will not consolidate control. So there's a silver lining. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Including billionaires in your coalition is by default, small tent since, you know, you can actually fit the entirety of that demographic in an actual tent.

Corporations: Stop pirating! Us: We want to legally give you our money for products you refuse to make! Why won’t you do it?! Help us help you!

If the Warner Bros/Netflix deal goes through, Zack Snyder should be allowed to edit the "Justice League: Snyder Cut" and the "Rebel Moon" movies into a single eight-hour vortex, allowing the universe to fold into itself, killing everybody.

Stop appearing on far-right propaganda networks. Stop posting on their trash sites. Stop sitting on panels with them. Stop being friends with them. Don't shake their hands. Don't try to meet them halfway. Don't gotta hand it to them. Ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hey Ezra Klein, is this practicing politics the right way?

NOOOO!!! Aw man, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was such a class act. And the best part of almost every movie he made. I'm gonna rewatch SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO.

Netflix acquiring WB is still shit, very much so, it’s super shitty, intolerably shitty, but it’s certainly less shit than Ellison n Paramount having it. So I’m looking at the smallest sliver of silver linings in this scenario. I just hope for the best for all employees in the middle of all this.

The fucking people who are stanning for this guy I swear to god. Why do they insist on placeholder democrats who won't do anything until the republicans can get into power and fuck shit up and steal from us more. I mean goddamn, fool me how many times?

…fuck, man.

But the memes are somehow still worth it right gang

deadline.com/2025/12/netf... Breaking news out of Deadline. It looks like Skydance has lost the bidding war to acquire all of WBD. Netflix had the highest bid and is looking at acquiring the Warner Bros. Studios and Streaming businesses. They now enter deal talks and it is subject to approval.

3/ We all find our own way. Not the way others choose for us. (The timestamp for this bit is 121m30s - 123m30s or so ; truncated slightly). Once again, this is one of @jessiegender.bsky.social's finest.

2/ that he had scripted for her, where she was just another little copy of himself sent out into the universe to be him in the future." "We each choose who we are - for men like Musk this is terrifying, because we can choose a future without them."

1/ Once again, this @jessiegender.bsky.social video is a vital watch. "(they see us) not as people to as a tool for them to control. They see us not as people to understand , but as resources to be owned, managed and used up. Musk's own daughter came out as a trans woman ; She rejected the future

It remains to be seen what Netflix's plans are for Warner Bros but my money is Netflix just in it for the IP and has no intention on releasing movies theatrically, something they've never been prevented from.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

A wealth tax is a big tent policy unless the only people you care about are billionaires.

Happy Birthday (Observed) to the uncontested KING Jonathan The Tortoise, estimated to be 192 years old 192 MORE YEARS! 192 MORE YEARS!

It is a heinously terrible movie. This used to be a completely uncontroversial statement.

who here can relate

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.
