Just to make the point abundantly clear, Chris Wallace is now a paid advisor to an investment firm that has a large stake in Paramount and a vested interest in getting the Warner Bros. merger over the line. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Chris Wallace: States Are Playing Politics With the Law to Block Paramount’s Warner Bros. Deal

"I don’t believe government should use its powers to determine who owns a news platform or to control how that outlet reports the news," writes the former Fox and CNN anchor, who is now a paid advisor...

Poster Star Wars: 26 For 76 20th Century Fox (1976) This poster could be described as the first Star Wars memorabilia designed for public consumption. It is the first acknowledgement that 20th Century Fox had greenlit the fledgling production as one of the 26 films referenced on the poster.

Star Wars: 26 For 76 20th Century Fox (1976) This poster could very easily be described as the first piece of Star Wars memorabilia designed for public consumption. While it makes no direct reference to the film, this poster is the first acknowledgement that 20th Century Fox had greenlit the fledgling production as one of the twenty-six films referenced on the poster. It was produced exclusively for a January 1976 Fox sales convention designed to solicit bids from theater owners to help finance the production.

Being an ally can be hard sometimes. You get yelled at by a LOT of shitheads just for speaking up. But not giving money to hateful people/organizations actively making the lives of those you claim to care most about worse? That's the easiest fucking part of allyship. If you can't give up that...🤷

Dear @padilla.senate.gov : Can taxpayers also sue the contractor we paid $14.7 million (with his profit margin of $20% compared to typical 6%-12% federal range) who botched the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool--along with the sitting president who gave him a no-bid contract?

Padilla co-wrote a bill that would let the public sue a sitting president to recover money taken through corruption. Yes, a sitting president. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-law...

One of the (many) reasons I think people are so anti-AI is that it’s a gratuitous display of wealth inequality. The average person’s life is difficult, expensive, and getting any kind of loan sucks - unless you’re raising billions of dollars to build an AI data center.

Was awesome to join Bloomberg to talk about the lie of AI - everyone's buying into the mag7 believing CapEx is going towards diverse AI demand, when all it's really doing is supporting the circular cloud revenues of two unprofitable, unsustainable AI labs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHcZ...

Progressive social media really should be going harder on highlighting Hope Florida scandal- * Helps to take out vulnerable GOP Senator up for reelection * Exposes hypocrisy of GOP "blue state fraud" meme * Hurts Ron DeSantis image * Emphasizes systematic GOP political attacks on Medicaid

CBS reports that Ashley Moody did precisely what the entire GOP has accused Tim Walz of doing -- and yet, somehow, that crack fraud task force has not arrested the GOP nominee for Senate. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

As Florida Attorney General, it was Moody and her office that approved the diversion of $10 million of taxpayer money to the Hope Florida Foundation. And the Attorney General did so without placing any of the safeguards or guardrails her office would typically require to make sure the money was properly spent. These funds were intended to expand Medicaid for children in Florida, but instead they ended up in the bank accounts of a pair of political action committees, one of which was controlled by the governor and his chief of staff, James Uthmeier. And that was the money that DeSantis used to defeat Amendment 3. Amendment 3 garnered 56% of the vote in November 2024, just shy of the 60% needed to pass. And two months after the amendment failed, DeSantis appointed Moody to the United States Senate, and he appointed Uthmeier to replace Moody as attorney general. The diversion of $10 million from a Medicaid settlement into the Hope Florida Foundation and then into the political action committees fighting Amendment 3 was uncovered through a series of legislative hearings in 2025 in the Florida House. And it prompted one Republican legislator to call it a criminal act. "This is a misuse of Medicaid money," Republican State Rep. Alex Andrade told CBS Miami in August 2025. "This is money laundering."
