Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

One of my fave pop facts is that Ross MacManus, father of Elvis Costello, wrote and sang the Secret Lemonade Drinker song from the R Whites adverts.

A man collapsed in the Oval Office. The internet got the story wrong.
A case study in how bad information can spread — and how hard it is to correct it.

I couldn't pretend to be ex reform but do something similar: serve up a shit sandwich with slices of Labour fuck ups holding together a massive filling of Reform's utter shitshow rounded off with saying I'd vote Plaid Cymru if I still lived in Wales.
On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Cllr Daniel Taylor, currently on bail pending trial over allegations that he threatened to kill his wife, has attended today. Given he missed every other meeting since his arrest, he would have been disqualified as a councillor had he not arrived today.
