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?

Black and white photo of a scruffy little longhaired tuxedo tabby kitten, it looks ginger to me. It is sitting close in front of an enormous old television set with its head turned back toward the camera as if waiting for someone to turn the tv on. This is taking place in a living room type setting, the kitten sitting on a throw rug on a wooden floor.

We say goodbye to Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall.

With a career spanning over seven decades, Duvall's storytelling transcended mediums and generations of audiences – as he delivered a range of unforgettable performances.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

Kindle Unlimited kind of sucks for some authors right now. Thank AI slop and boycotts, as two of the reasons. My advice? Go wide.

AI slop (like mentioned
In the recent NYT article) is just one of the reasons I’m semi-retiring from writing. Add in Amazon/KU, trad publishing, the state of the world etc…I’m exhausted 🫀
