For what it's worth the article headline is clickbait, it doesn't matter, universal would have to pay an artist see, and they could turn around and sell the rights again. But the release dates already moved up because of demand. It's not getting buried.
have I mentioned lately that oligarch-owned media consolidation is bad
Universal Is Getting Cold Feet on Releasing the Elon Musk Documentary (Exclusive)
The Comcast-owned studio is not yet committing to rolling out Alex Gibney's movie that it paid millions to acquire for non-North American release before the political winds shifted.

1980s-00s private equity was allowed to RIP & broke the economy.
Private Equity as middle class destroyers built systemic points of failure into a complex economy, & overran politics with special interests, making biz too expensive for normal people.
Private Equity hollowed out the American Dream.

It's so wild you can spend so much money to intentionally destroy a military to be too weak to help allies, ON PURPOSE, for an enemy power. Unreal.
The Pentagon’s figure isn’t the true cost.
It’s merely the portion they admit to.

I am actually incredibly surprised by how much harm Trump has done globally and at home.
Especially our military, world oil economy, economy in general, and our best trade partners, etc.
I imagine we will recalibrate and it won't be lost, but holy shit.

It is mental illness that people think their personal niche political issues or policy agendas are the only thing that matters, especially inside of a binary system where a country is collapsing.

THIS. The Center was running fine - the acts cancelled, season tickets holders cancelled, and long-time donors cancelled IN PROTEST of him putting his name on it. Then, he closed it completely for "renovations." Board incompetence did the rest. Can the district of DC sue? Is that a thing?

Interest rates rose for a bit under Biden but were coming back down, as was inflation as a whole.
Instead a critical mass of Americans decided to hand power back to the lunatic extremist, and now prices and rates are worse than ever.

The Fed approved its first interest rate hike in more than three years and indicated another to come, as part of an effort aimed at combating inflation brought on by spiraling oil prices and other factors.

Ed Sheeran is worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars. He is friends with people like Robert Kraft becuase he chooses to be. He put out that despicable statement because it’s what he wanted to say.
He has agency. He chose to be marketable instead of moral, and it backfired.

Ed Sheeran PERFORMED AT ROBERT KRAFT’S WEDDING. He was not put
in an “impossible situation.” His hands were not tied.
He tried to use his openers and band as a PR shield to both-sides genocide and they dropped out because they’d rather give up the money and exposure than be complicit.

If billionaires aren't paying any income tax in the state of california, why would we give a shit if they leave?
Prop 40? Proposition 40 or whatever?
The amount of misinformation out there about this because billionaires have money for ads, is one thing.
But many pay zero income tax, right?

Mike Johnson's decision to send the House home early — again — is fueling an increasingly bitter feud with GOP Rep. Thomas Massie over whether the speaker is using the calendar to dodge politically painful votes.
Johnson-Massie feud boils over: "Why are we taking days off our calendar?"
"Speaker Johnson has vacated Congress. Like I don't need to vacate Speaker Johnson," Massie told Axios.
