To be clear, I don't care what it's called. I do care that so far, Ellison has run Paramount like someone who only knows how to run his finger down a list of existing IP and is so terrified of original scripts that he succeeded in having them classified as "independent films" in the consent decree.>

‘’Abdy and De Luca represent a filmmaking approach that isn’t solely defined by sequels and CGI. They believe that while anyone can read a spreadsheet, people who make movies should be hired for their taste.’’ And they delivered on that promise more than once.

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

Non-ADHD folks are often surprised at just how focused and competent ADHDers can be in crisis situations. From personal experience, I can say that it's because the crisis gives you permission to forget *everything* except for the problem in front of you. And that's freeing.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.
Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ETAs the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”

They picked up WB on its knees after the ‘’same date’’ release strategy, brought filmmakers back to make big swings, and won 11 OSCARS in March! What has Paramount done since Ellison took over?

When a large number of people—especially men—choose not to intervene, “bystander apathy” should be a criminal offence. All of these men are complicit. Scratch “complicit”. These men are collaborators.

One of the many fucked up things about the “future potential” argument in not holding rapists accountable, is that statistically, rape has one of the highest rates of recidivism of violent crime. Literally no one has a higher statistical likelihood of committing rape than someone who has already.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.

The greatest secret in finance is that nobody knows what they’re investing in and another is that a lot of the “very smart people” with “lots of data” base their powerful “financial models” based on extremely simplistic scenarios, many of them as obvious as “growth continues as it always has”
