[Variety @Variety]

Skydance has uncovered “tens of millions” of dollars in luxury hospitality spending under the former Warner Bros. Discovery regime, including expenses for dining, travel and gifts, according to two sources:

• The former WBD regime spent in ways big and small — like stacks of receipts for sandwiches and green juices from the gourmet grocery store Erewhon

• The company expects to save “millions” by reducing spending on outside vendors, studio services and redundant marketing budgets

• One source even suggests press junkets will be revamped

@drewpusateri i am generally a nice person i think but when it gets unpleasant i can be not nice. but most people are nice! even when it’s difficult subject material

[rat king 🐀 @MikeIsaac]

@drewpusateri everyone just human beings doing their job. only rarely does it get unpleasant for me but those are usually people who are anomalies at least for me

@gnocchiwizard buddy, i love nirvana and metal and also respectfully you must not talk to many kids

like a crazy amount of this list is in full resurgence right now, to the point a lot of these bands are actually touring again to capitalize on it
