A nice reminder that if Netflix does end up with HBO, it’ll cancel every show with a personality or a voice because some algorithm told it to. May Norman Lear haunt the hell out of Ted Sarandos for this one. deadline.com/2025/12/boot...

I hope that @warren.senate.gov, the @wgawest.bsky.social, the @wgaeast.bsky.social, and others who have rung alarm bells at the proposed Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros. will treat this hostile takeover bid from Paramount as at least as much of a threat.
30+ movies a year. Wow. That's very impressive. This year Paramount released a grand total of 7, exactly one of which made the year's top 25 (while losing $), so there is zero reason to believe that the company has the means to more than quadruple its output. deadline.com/2025/12/para...

To sum up:
1. This will not "save" WB as a theatrical entity.
2. This would amount to handing over two studios to a right-wing tech billionaire.
3. The argument that this won't monopolize market share is true only bc Paramount does so badly it has no market share! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/b...

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.
They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.
