Feelings Donโ€™t Matter: How the Ellison Era Is Transforming Paramount Itโ€™s a brand-new day at the legacy studio, where prestigeโ€ฏfilms are out, testosterone-heavy tentpoles are in and Brett Ratner is back on the call sheet.

Absolute worst thing about this deal is layoffs & contraction. Look at how Ellison runs his studio culture already; he hires disgraced execs fired for sexual harassment, or Bari Weiss types. While firing great people like this studio head (disclosure; worked for her & thatโ€™s how I know sheโ€™s great)โ€ฆ

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who donโ€™t freak out about this.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjรถkull to Ok (jรถkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
