Los Angeles is amazing. Every time I go out, it’s like being surrounded by people who have never been outside or have even seen another person before. No one knows how to drive even though you have to drive everywhere. Greatest city in the world.

Jalen Royals need to sue. I don’t know who or for what, but he needs to sue… someone
I wrote about the Chiefs'... interesting plan for their young players, particularly Brashard Smith and Jeffrey Bassa, and how those two (along with Nohl Williams) showed flashes Sunday that they can help in 2026.

Some Chiefs rookies flashed Sunday... so why aren't they playing more?
While some young players are getting a chance, others are still mystifyingly absent in a lost season.

The Chiefs are 6-9 (about to be 6-11) and our generational QB just had his knee obliterated.

The Kansas City Chiefs have announced they will leave their longtime home at Arrowhead Stadium for a new, domed stadium that will be built across the Kansas-Missouri state line and be ready for the start of the 2031 season: https://cnn.it/4pOsv3f

Watching MEGADOC on Criterion and 90% of it is just Shia LeBeouf annoying the shit out of Coppola.

I'm trying to stay blind as possible for Spielberg's DISCLOSURE (rumored title) but this is much edgier and dark than I expected for his UFO project rumored to feel like his early career:

Also, decreasing ads. When you pay for something, having to sit through ads for Google or GMC or whatever is torture and devalues the experience especially with streaming no longer being ad free. Theaters have a very simple path to making the experience better and they seemingly refuse to do it.
All of this money spent on this study and not a single mention of things that might keep people away: disruptive audience behavior, increasingly poor technical presentation, every shrinking theatrical windows (or day and date indies). I love theaters, and go multiple times a week, but it’s grim.

people now run a red light at a busy intersection by my house. literally 2-3 seconds after it’s fully red and they go through. it’s insane and never happened pre-Covid
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.
Yeah! That’s why this whole Netflix thing is bizarre. They were in a perfect position to split and become their own entity and now they risk a regulatory nightmare and a vindictive administration for what?
I agree with this but there’s also an obvious answer where WB remains its own entity. It had an almost perfect box office run. HBO is still a crown jewel. Their streaming is now profitable and they’re spinning off the messy cable business. They could easily stay as a single company and be great!
I hate this deal but it's better for Netflix to get WBD than the Ellisons. I just need them to lose.

Netflix buying Warner would actually be the end of Hollywood. that’s it. it’ll be something else, and significantly worse. a new, really bad reality.

I don‘t think Zaz wants to sell. He’s going through the motions, angering one buyer while pretending to favor another only to respond, ”Sorry, changed my mind. I think I’ll hold on to it.“
This letter is a clear attempt to get Trump angry enough to intervene, and is thus a pretty clear signal to the entertainment community of what kind of company Paramount plans to run. I know people dread a Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros.; this would be worse. deadline.com/2025/12/para...

This would be such a disaster for the industry and would face such colossal regulatory issues to the point I'm wondering why Netflix is even doing this.
Netflix’s new bid to buy Warner Bros is a mostly cash offer.
