How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

THANK GOD! I've always preferred the original cut compared to the special edition. It was the film that changed pop culture and the idea of summer blockbusters forever. Sucks Carrie Fisher isn't around to see it. God rest her and many of the original cast, including Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness.

1 million acres of pristine public land in Alaska will now be open to fossil fuel drilling, thanks to Republicans in Congress.

Big Oil spent nearly $500 million lobbying and boosting friendly candidates last year — and now they're getting a big return on their investment.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Netflix is planning to buy Warner Bros for $72 billion, allowing it to acquire its major competitor HBO Max.

This corporate monopoly will be great for Netflix’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Keep in mind, the orange devil guy can’t even keep his eyes open, let alone doing anything remotely close to preforming simple acts of body movements without looking/acting like a rapidly rotten corpse.

When he goes down, the Skydance people will have NOTHING supporting their grubby deeds.
All this drama over WBD is ludicrous-ly insane. First of all I'm have mixed feelings about Netflix owning WB post-split,I don't like the entire situation especially the split from the beginning but Ellisons would have done much worse damage if they gotten it especially in the orange devil pocket.

Data shows that when presented with ID checks, people are more likely to just give up instead of entering sensitive information, which they are rightfully mistrustful of, making it an enticing option for those wanting to censor certain content.

As online ID check laws spread, companies are working out how to comply. It’s Day 5 of our week of action- we’re putting the spotlight on YouTube.

YouTube rolled out age verification this summer to appease lawmakers, smoothing the way for more dangerous laws to pass.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.

There’s no such thing as a “free market.”

It is designed.

It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Trump increased U.S. military spending to record levels.

He bombed Iran without approval from Congress.

He's launched deadly air strikes on fishing boats in the Caribbean — while presenting no evidence to back up allegations of drug smuggling.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.

Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.

This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.
