This is just brilliant. 😂👏🏾 youtube.com/watch?v=EMSQtqUI…

I’m in.

Latinos in this country want what most people want... to belong, to build a better life and give their children opportunities they never had. They do not want to be harassed, deported or devalued. And neither party seems particularly good at understanding that, which is mad! Whichever party does will most liklely benefit the most. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

What does the future of humanity + robotics hold? CEO Youngho Choi of #GalaxyCorp brought us together for an evening of peace, entertainment and joy.

The AURA on this guy is nuclear!!! 🔥🔥🔥

When video games become more powerful than patriotism, you know capitalism has gotten out of hand.

I’m proud to see my last name in this post. 😂

Art has no language. Artists have no rules. So many #Latino artists were forced for decades to sing in English to make it in America. Karol G conquered America in #Spanish. Love that she is now choosing English for "Still" because she feels it, not because she has to. American cultural consumption is changing from a monolingual state to a polylingual one (Spanish, Korean, etc). And we're so better for it!

If I were the WB/DC marketing dept., I would have done a #SUPERGIRL × #FEARLESSGIRL crossover. A young bronze girl staring down power defiantly in front of Wall Street, symbolizing fearlessness, courage, and strength. You put the cape and suit on her and the whole marketing campaign writes itself. Just the American symbolism of the photo, and the social media photo ops alone, would’ve been free organic advertising for the film. The fact that this wasn’t done was a missed opportunity.

I really dislike headlines like this.🤦🏽‍♂️

Here’s Grok 4.5’s "original draft" of Ellison's memo. Peak trolling 😆: "PARAMOUNT INTERNAL MEMO (DRAFT) From the Desk of David Ellison, Chairman & CEO Team, I know half the country is suing us and the deal is completely fucked right now, and I recognize that phrases like “indefinitely paused” and “multi-state antitrust lawsuit” are creating straight-up panic and uncertainty. So I’m writing this memo to manage the damage. Here’s the real recap: Over the past several months we spent a fortune on lawyers trying to get as many countries as possible to rubber-stamp this thing. 65 of them said yes or looked the other way. We’re going to keep shouting about those 65 clearances while pretending the ones that actually matter (California and the other AGs) don’t exist. We’re also going to keep insisting this merger is “pro-competitive” and will “create more opportunities for creators,” even though the actual creators (the WGA) are currently in court trying to stop us from doing it. The real goal is scale, leverage, and owning more of the industry. Everything else is marketing. If those annoying attorneys general and the Writers Guild hadn’t sued us, we would have closed this deal in the next couple weeks and started the real work of cutting costs and consolidating power. Instead we’re stuck. Let me be clear: we are pretending to be highly confident because saying anything else would tank morale and the stock. We still plan to force this merger through one way or another. We just agreed to skip the preliminary injunction hearing on August 3 because we were probably going to lose it. So we’re dragging this into a full trial instead and calling it a smart strategic decision. This week we’ll negotiate trial dates and hope the calendar somehow saves us. Until further notice the deal remains paused. Keep planning the integration, but slower, and try not to look too eager while the courts decide our fate. Tony from the Integration Management Office will be in touch with the people who still have to pretend this is happening on schedule. I know this is stressful as hell. Thanks for staying quiet and continuing to work while we figure out how badly we’re screwed. For now it’s “business as usual,” which means keep showing up and don’t ask too many questions. Paramount and WBD are still separate companies (for the moment), and we’re going to keep saying the last year was a huge success because of all of you, because that’s what these memos always say. We will continue to be “transparent,” which means you’ll only hear from us when the lawyers have scrubbed every sentence and we have no choice. Until then, keep telling yourselves (and anyone who asks) that this deal is great for consumers, creators, and the industry. Thanks for putting up with this mess. Enjoy your summer while you can. We’ll see what the courts leave us with. Let’s go. (We have no other choice.) David"
