Zaslav never had to sell WB. Greatest unforced error in entertainment history, and now we're all going to suffer for it.
the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.
“House of Woodcock” or “For The Hungry Boy”?

“I didn’t realize how much I missed the simple joy of losing myself in words until these massive tranches of sex crime files were released,” said Indianapolis resident Greta Livingston

it’s so scary when you realize your phone has been up to stuff while in your pocket
