Hey, authors! The Authors Guild has expanded its Human Authored certification to non-members. It's $10 to register your book, and you get a little logo to put on your book cover, like I've just done. authorsguild.org/human-author...

Paramount Skydance Debt Downgraded to Junk Status by Fitch Ratings Following Warner Bros. Discovery Deal Fitch Ratings downgraded Paramount Skydance's credit rating and debt to junk status in the wake of the deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

I love this for the Ellisons.

So much of the WB merger is financed by the AI bubble.

Get your popcorn handy.

If I offered 13 spots drawing your favorite musicians for 100 bucks a piece would any of you be interested? The original you'd get would be 4.25 X 5 and black and white. Willing to draw whole bands too for 250 (8.5 X 11)
