I’m reading the WarnerMount hire of Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz as a sign that Larry Ellison means to prevent a bonfire of money. He’s good with numbers and sent in his troops when his daughter’s company started to hemorrhage.

Not long ago, a source told me David Ellison was caught on camera in this doc, making remarks about the WBD acquisition. I reached out to documentarian Alex Holder and got no reply. If Paramount is offering big bucks for this thing, it sounds like my source knew what he was talking about.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.
