Joint Statement of the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

The world’s largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent. The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked.

Six Thorns: August, Purple, Early, Canary-shouldered, Feathered, and Dusky. I doubt I'll ever get to see the others.

Here's who has come out against the Netflix/Warner Bros. deal:
-Writers Guild
-Directors Guild
-SAG-AFTRA
-documentary filmmakers
-theater owners
So all of Hollywood.
They aren't opposing this because they secretly want a Paramount merger, it's because the deal will harm their livelihoods.

Ormai mi son rimaste
le tue poesie minori.
Son quelle dove l’uomo
esce fuori a palate.
Ed io che non volevo
saper nulla di te!

My purple African Violet has been hiding a beautiful secret beneath its leaves, which I would have never noticed except for moving it to a higher shelf with a plant light for the winter. Such gorgeous texture and contrasting colors!

Close-up of the underside of African violet leaves, revealing velvety textures and vivid purple hues. Fine hairs shimmer across the surface, with green edges framing the richly veined purple undersides.

This is a rare crinoid from the Devonian Silica Shale of Sylvania, Ohio. Gennaeocrinus chilmanae is named after Ruth Chilman, who was one of the founding members of the Friends of the UMMP. She was also co-author of the FUMMP Silica book.

I wish I had met her.
