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?

A rare weekend with the house to myself (and the dog). Binge watching A Discovery of Witches in my jammies. Do not intend to cook a meal for at least 72 hours.

BBC News would be thrown into a right quandry if Nigel Farage decides to call a press conference

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

β€œI’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.

This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

Starmer's government has brought energy bills down, re-nationalised the railways, raised the minimum wage, put VAT on private schools, ended the non-dom tax loopholes, is planning to ban 2nd jobs for MPs and much more.

I wonder why the oligarch-supported media would want to get rid of him?

You know the Supreme Court will eventually overturned it, right? So depressing watching the USA at the moment

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

House Oversight Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury

Who came out of the Ghislaine Maxwell deposition

"The US gov is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex-trafficking scandal and influence pedalling scandal in the history of the US"

"And Donald Trump is right at the centre of it"

Oh god please don't give the opposition, the media and half the nation that want him to go a good time tomorrow (as i've just seen a rumour he's addressing the nation tomorrow) as surely Starmer resigning is handing the country to Reform UK on a plate. @warrenoates1.bsky.social

Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

Nothing fishy here....

The Guardian Reform faces police investigation over 'concerned neighbour' byelection letters 13 hours ago The Telegraph Reform reports Labour to police over 'misleading' video 1 week ago

Both stories about Reform UK Party Ltd’s Gorton & Denton campaign are true β€” they, laughably, reported Labour to the police over a β€˜misleading’ video, and now they face a police investigation over breaking by-election law with deliberately misleading campaign material.

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

We are kindly asking people not to jump to conclusions just because indisputable video evidence shows us executing an innocent man in broad daylight.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Burnham has been brilliant for Manchester. He should stay there and finish the job. His standing for parliament just feeds gossip and stirs discontent, which neither the Country nor the party needs. His actions today have ruled out his *ever* getting my vote for party leader.
