NBC, following CBS News, capitulates to the racist regime. NBC has eviscerated teams covering minority and LGBT+ issues. This surrender will buy NBC nothing. The only way to stand up to the fascists is...TO STAND UP TO THE FASCISTS. www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-lay...

The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

Speaker Johnson has cancelled votes for the third week in a row now.

He'd rather send his members on vacation than negotiate ways to keep healthcare affordable for working families and reopen the government.

Republicans are unserious and clearly could care less about the American people.

Because ABC suits were worried viewers would be freaked out by a black and white episode in primetime, Glen Gordon Caron got Orson Welles to tape an intro letting audiences know what was going on. He sadly passed a few days after filming and 5 days before the episode aired.

Who Cares If ‘One Battle After Another’ Loses Some Money?

A box-office hit can reshape careers, studios, stars or even entire genres; the same is true for a flop. That’s why entertainment journalists spend Sundays crunching the data: It’s the industry’s vers...

I realize it doesn't make for a tidy scare headline but this is the actual point (and one I wrote myself two weeks ago)

“Warner Bros. refutes Variety’s anonymous sources and their uninformed estimates,” a studio spokesperson says. “Films across the studio’s slate, including ‘One Battle After Another,’ have achieved financial reward in 2025 with more than $4 billion earned to date.”

The $4 billion figure refers to box office revenue, not profits. However, Warner Bros.’ 2025 slate of triumphs does help offset a loss like “One Battle.” And Anderson’s film is expected to be a major Oscar player, which makes it valuable to the company in ways beyond the balance sheet. Earlier in the fall, a Warner Bros. source pegged year-to-date theatrical profits at roughly $600 million before counting a major winner in “The Conjuring: Last Rites” and a money loser in “One Battle After Another.”

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

If you leave one magazine job and go write a book, apparently for a major publisher, and you deliver your manuscript and take another magazine job less than a year later, when did the exile part happen, exactly?
