A pretty bleak quote about the state of Warner Bros.: “Nobody wants this merger, but what happens if it fails?” asks one Warner Bros. executive. “Is that worse? We’ll just be sold to someone else.” What's David Ellison's Breaking Point in Paramount-Warner Bros Merger? variety.com/2026/film/ne...

TLDR, my general recommendations: - Netflix - Prime Video - Disney+/Hulu - Tubi - PBS Kids (for young children) While they're the traditional catch-all services (plus Tubi/PBS Kids), they also cover animation well. Everything from preschool shows to anime to adult cartoons to major franchises.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav‘s effort to buy a summer camp just north of New York City appears to have failed, with a private equity firm swooping in to outbid him for the property at a bankruptcy auction, according to court records filed Tuesday.

Looking through web host providers. So far, seems easy to eliminate a bunch of them---namely ones aggressively pushing AI on their main page or site overall (or pushing "AI site builders" hard). Which is a lot of them at this point (stupid AI craze).

A point made back in the day is that Flintheart Glomgold (classic flavor, not Captain Wacky 2017) isn't Scrooge's EVIL double, he's Scrooge with no family. Donald and the triplets are what redeem him.

If Flintheart Glomgold and John Rockerduck didnt exist Scrooge McDuck would be a completely unlikable monster. Even Barks toned him down over time. Hell, he WAS a monster in Italy for years until that version of him was toned down to align with the modern revisions of his personality and backstory

Batman will always be popular because people love the fantasy of pretending a billionaire isn't depraved.

I think BlueSky also wants this to be the place where the stars hang out and I just don't see that happening. Threads got the celebrities, stans, and brands in the X Exodus. BlueSky shouldn't change to siphon them away.

I feel Bluesky doesn’t understand how lucky they are that the Elon take over happened. A lot of people here would’ve never given this app a chance. But instead they are trying to cater to the very group that will never come 😭

Again, if he had only bought the cable side (including CNN), there'd probably be minimal backlash. But he also wants the studio (one less major studio, plus layoffs) and WB's IP ("we own Bugs Bunny *and* SpongeBob!"). variety.com/2026/tv/news...

David Ellison Says Opposition to Paramount-Warner Bros. Is Over His Control of CNN, Claims He Will Not ‘Bend Newsrooms to My Views’

Paramount CEO David Ellison said antitrust litigation filed by 12 states and the WGA isn't about market share -- but about 'whether I can be trusted as a steward of Warner’s CNN.'
