"The Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday." How far are we from him announcing a genetic dynasty of Dawn, Day, and Dusk Donalds? www.sfgate.com/national-par...
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people

Netflix To Buy Warner Bros For $82.7 Billion, But Trump FCC, DOJ Could Intervene For All The Wong Reasons
So Netflix has announced that it's buying Warner Brothers Discovery (including HBO) for a whopping $82.7 billion. As we've well covered, it's the latest in a long series of pointless Warner mergers stretching back to the 2001 AOL acquisition, which all resulted in oodles of chaos, price hikes, layoffs, and generally a steady erosion in product quality. Netflix's deal includes a $5.8 billion breakup fee and promises to maintain Warner Bros.
