Americans have never been more primed for a general strike than they are right now.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Your landlord wants more money. The grocery store wants more money. The utility company wants more money. Your insurance wants more money. Your subscription services want more money. But when workers ask for higher pay, suddenly everyone acts like that’s unreasonable. People aren’t asking for more just because they want more. The cost of living keeps going up.

🚨BREAKING: In a dangerous decision for voters, the Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to overhaul a federal immigration database into a vast, centralized and deeply flawed database of personal information to initiate registration purges. https://t.co/EoQib79CT2

They should put some kind of message before every movie ever made, in every theater on earth asking people not to use their phones.

Then people would know it was socially unacceptable

[noah 🔮 @ecstaticn0ah]

i hate when some people who go to the theaters act like you’re hitler if you take photos of the title card

3 seconds of almost zero light to take a quick photo gets people so mad for literally no reason

NEWLY UNCOVERED AUDIO: Texas GOP US Senate candidate Ken Paxton calls the Uvalde shooting a "plan" by "God" and says "life is short” about children murdered in an elementary school.

This man is vile.

Let’s be clear, Newsom has dealt a seemingly fatal blow to California’s film and television industry and got jack shit for it.

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

Paramount-Warner Bros. will allocate just $5 million per year to acquire indie films.

The $111 billion deal pledges to make at least 30 films a year and will spend at least $1.5 billion in additional domestic film and TV production over five years.

What does this mean? The company will operate a modestly funded “Independent Film Fund” to buy movies based on original screenplays or originated from film producers operating outside of Paramount, Disney, Universal or Sony.

The wildly optimistic version of this is the company pulls off six micro-budget blockbusters like 'Obsession' (which cost $750,000). But many indie films cost in the tens of millions — particularly if they’re star-driven or effects-heavy. The Zendaya film 'The Drama,' for instance, cost around $28 million. While the budget for the 2024 disaster 'Megalopolis' ballooned to around $120 million.

Wonder who they stole this one from

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.

We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use.

“We preferred to resolve this in the place we have the least amount of leverage” seems like a winning strategy

[Alex Thompson @AlexThomp]

I asked Newsom of reports he pressured Rob Bonta to settle Paramount/Warner lawsuit:
“I didn’t pressure anybody. I made the point and made it very publicly…that we, me, many folks…preferred, in the words of Rob Bonta himself” to resolve this in the boardroom not the courtroom

Asmongold unleashes on “pathetic loser” Northernlion for how he handled his long time friend Dan Gheesling’s US Army sponsorship

"You have nasty disgusting 2 faced weasels like Northernlion who's sitting there in chat, but he's audience captured and afraid of his own viewers that the moment they dislike it, he has to do a cam off crying stream complaining about his friend who he's known for apparently 14 years..absolutely pathetic..I don't respect the person that does this at all"

"This is the most important thing..he acknowledges (in chat)..he's responding to thinking of enlisting, that means he obviously knows what's going on..flipped the script on his friend for over 10 years, bc he's afraid of hate on the internet..pathetic f'in weasel..this guy is a f'in loser..I didn't know somebody could be this big of a B"

"They're totally fake and the only thing they're doing is siding with these people so they can farm anti American freaks in their audience, I hate them..if you engage in something like this, you will get farmed..I hope other people make videos..I can't even express how much I hate these people without breaking the ToS..never seen somebody c-c-k out like this..I think he's crying, omg"

"He'll probably respond..I will be there to make it worse, just like he was there to make it worse for Dan, bc Dan has the audacity to support his own country's military. It's what you deserve, sorry"

America is free only when the media is competitive, independent, and accountable to the people.

This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through. I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers.

This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. https://t.co/oCahGd4lgY

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us all in the back

[David Dayen @ddayen]

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.
