And it complies with BI's No Erotic Content Standards (whereas the full body Neanderthal woman image did not)

If you don't know what WarnerMedia, it is the company that contains: Warner Bros. studios, Warner Bros., HBO, HBO Max, Turner Classic Movies, TNT, Turner Sports, DC movies, TBS and CNN.

(WarnerBros. also is responsible for Friends, The Big Bang Theory, TMZ, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Bachelor, Conan,....)

In 2018, AT&T acquired WarnerMedia and decided to shake things up by ousting the guy in charge of HBO who was responsible for The Sopranos and other HBO hits. In 2020, they decided to bring in their own guy.

April 1, 2020:

Jason Kilar is hired as WarnerMedia CEO.




August 7, 2020:

He announces layoffs.




December 2020:

Kilar becomes a "villain" by announcing that all 2021 Warner Bros. movies will be released on HBO Max and in theaters simultaneously.




May 14, 2021 (last Friday):

Kilar is profiled by the Wall Street Journal.




May 16, 2021 (yesterday):

It is revealed that WarnerMedia is getting out of the content business, in a merger with Discovery, which owns Discovery Channel, Food Network, HGTV, Oprah Winfrey Network, Animal Planet. And that Discovery's CEO would become the new CEO of the joint company.




May 17, 2021 (today):

Jason Kilar is effectively ousted from his job.

This was just unsealed. In the last weeks of the Trump administration, William Barr's Justice Department tried to use a secret grand jury subpoena to unmask @NunesAlt, a Devin Nunes parody account. https://t.co/ENc4oiUV0f

DoJ also got a gag order, claiming that disclosure of the subpoena would likely "result in flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation" of the Nunes parody account. pic.twitter.com/nc0BHx2hhl

Thanks for reminding me. I spent my career in the phone company, part of it listening to the last two idiot, obscenely paid CEOs drone on about topics they obviously knew very little about. It's disgusting how much money these guys made for what turns out to be absolutely nothing. Buy a company, sell it for less. Rinse and repeat.

Hilarious!

"Bitcoin's value has dropped almost 50% in two weeks to below $40,000, dragging siblings like ether with it," Reuters reports.

"Culprits include China, which on Tuesday banned financial firms dealing in cryptocurrencies, and Tesla boss Elon Musk, who has backed away from a previous plan to buy, hold and accept payment for his electric cars in bitcoin." Axios

Although the Sierra snowpack is at 2 to 5 percent of normal, the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park is forecasted to reach full capacity. That's great news for much of the Bay Area.​ https://t.co/wtEY9Aijlq

Gun decontrol: "Permitless carry"
Texas is set to remove one of its last major gun restrictions after the Republican-dominated legislature voted to allow people to carry handguns without a license, background check or training, AP reports.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) says he'll sign it, despite objections by law enforcement groups, which say it'll endanger the public and police.
Gun control groups note the state's recent history of mass shootings.
The big picture: Texas will become the 21st state, and by far the most populous, to allow some form of unregulated carry of a handgun, the NRA which strongly supports the measures told Reuters.

Gun-rights advocates call it a "constitutional carry" law." Axios

The wet dream would have been if Trump were the one taken off the plane, roughed up, and jailed - then forced to provide a statement about all his crimes.

I'd also like to see the video of him whimpering in fear, shatting his pants.

Says it all...

"It is, perhaps, the ultimate compliment in college sports that a University of Michigan athletic facility continues to honor the achievements of an Ohio State Buckeye."

"Horses with three toes, 8ft-long beardogs, camels with giraffe-like necks, miniature elephants. These are among some of the prehistoric animals that scientists have found so far after a water district ranger made the discovery of a lifetime one day last summer on the eastern rim of California's Central Valley."

You know what this story means to me?
Translation: Trump was and shall remain a fraud:

A Facebook report released Wednesday says that Russia is still the largest producer of disinformation, a notable finding just five years after Russian operatives launched a far-reaching campaign to infiltrate social media during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

Facebook says it has uncovered disinformation campaigns in more than 50 countries since 2017, when it began the cat-and-mouse game of cracking down on political actors seeking to manipulate public debate on its platform. The report, which summarizes 150 disinformation operations the company says it has disrupted in that period, highlights how such coordinated efforts have become more sophisticated and costly to run in recent years - even as these operators struggle to influence large numbers of people as they once did.
