not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

When I said “there are worse things than Netflix buying Warner Bros., Paramount is exactly what I meant.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.
After mass AI college-cheating freakout, many admissions offices are using it to screen student applications | Fortune
It wasn't long ago they began banning student use of it for homework or test-taking. Admissions offices are different, though.

Massive consolidation of entertainment conglomerates has an unexpected downside for them: when one of their subsidiaries capitulates to fascism, it threatens their entire portfolio.

ABC, Disney, Star Wars, theme parks, cruises, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, etc. are all now fair boycott targets.

Very good reporting/analysis from @tvmojoe.bsky.social on KImmel/Disney/ABC that provides real answers to many of the "Why don't they just..." questions. www.vulture.com/article/bob-...

Disney and ABC need to decide if they’re willing to back Jimmy Kimmel even if it means taking a (big) financial hit.

Our union, the WGA East, represents most of the late-night writers. They are middle-class workers who toil crazy hours writing the jokes and bits you see and hear as you end your day. They love what they do but they work their asses off. Now their careers are in peril.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Right now there’s a lot of articles about how 2025 US total box office so far proves movies are in decline. It’s mostly bullshit. The real story of 2025 is original movies audiences want to see are doing individually far better than anyone expected, and studios seem to not know, or what people want…

The key takeaway is Netflix’s bragged about algorithm that spies on every click you make gives them more data about audiences than ever existed in cinema history. But it has not led to their biggest hits. K-pop DH was made fully separate from Netflix & has crushed their $320 million Electric State.

One interesting thing about Superman (2025) is that because it doesn’t show the origin story for any of the characters, starts in the middle of the conflict, and jumps straight into fantastical things like kaiju and pocket dimensions, it’s the closest a comic book movie has come to this post

Eighty years ago today in 1945, Korea was freed after 35 years under Japanese colonial rule—a day we remember as “the day the light returned (광복절).” On this anniversary, many Koreans hold in hearts the hope of liberation for other occupied lands and colonized peoples.
