The outlets covering it claimed Murdoch alleged he was acting in the best interests of the company by keeping NewsCorp conservative but the judge didn’t buy it.

He did that in lockstep. Not sure what happens to any Trump successor. Shit is going to go sideways when Rupert dies. I’m shocked we haven’t heard about an appeal on the trust from him because as it stands, the liberal kids have control when he croaks.

They don’t want that weapon in the hands of a filthy liberal. Trump is a noted exception because no one else can command his loyalty.

We’re not getting state run tv because there’s too much money in private TV. Not to mention after Trump no one will have the political and social capital to run this through without getting laughed out of the courts.

Well the initial autopsy suggests it wasn’t external injuries.

Just for fun I looked up the total households for Scavengers Reign on Netflix. 500,000. No wonder it was cancelled. Ippo, despite having been available elsewhere for a while and only in the US last June, did triple.

I kind of hope everyone does boycott 2028, if Trump is still alive by then. It will hit us right in the wallet, which is the only thing the broligarchy understands.

This shit will take generations to fix, and the scary thing is that there’s probably a lot further to fall before we get to the point where there’s enough political will and anger to put in permanent fixes.

DeMarco’s Bebop boner has endured for over two decades. It’s pretty clear that hiring Watanabe AGAIN to do a show that has a lot in common with Bebop in aesthetics if not plot and setting, I have no faith in this being any good because DeMarco’s track record up till now has been utterly abysmal and I think a lot of that is because he keeps trying to recapture the feeling of Bebop with everything short of remaking it (please don’t remake it, Netflix tried and everyone hated it). I mean, we all have our biases of things that we would remake if we had the opportunity but still.

I’m convinced like the late Iron Shiek, Trump doesn’t do his own social media posts, he yells at someone to do them for him in his cadence.

What a shitshow.

No, it tanked on Max too. What people are saying is that this is likely more incentive for Warner to divest themselves from their linear channels.

This is why despite liking wine, I’m so utterly anal-retentive about maximum alcohol consumption and limiting my totals. Too damn young.

We’re not going to know more until the autopsy, but they are apparently ruling out monoxide poisoning. Then again, the heater may have done it. Still horrible.

They found pills at the scene.

First fresh premiere of 2025, and it took four months. Better than nothing.

The bi-annual Netflix report came in as well. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-the-second-half-of-2024 Demon Slayer continues to be crazy popular, pulling down around 13 million households. Jujutsu Kaisen did 8 million and was cited as an example of the strength of Japanese programming, and DanDaDan pulled down nearly 20 million households.
