Pedro Pascal and Florence Pugh are the latest actors to condemn Paramount buying Warner Bros. in an open letter that's now been signed by more than 2,000 Hollywood names. "We are deeply concerned by indications of support for this merger that prioritize the interests of a small group of powerful stakeholders over the broader public good. The integrity, independence, and diversity of our industry would be grievously compromised," read the letter. "Competition is essential for a healthy economy and a healthy democracy. So is thoughtful regulation and enforcement. Media consolidation has already weakened one of America's most vital global industries—one that has long shaped culture and connected people around the world." variety.com/2026/film/news…

Mamdani is opening government-run grocery stores in NYC. Does he not realize that running grocery stores isn’t a government function?





South Africa’s ANC government is pushing even more racist rules that help only black people and shut out everyone else: • They’re giving R50 billion (from a big foreign loan) to a new “Transformation Fund”, but the money can ONLY go to black-owned and black-managed businesses. Whites, Indians, Coloureds and Asians are completely banned just because of their race. • Companies can now simply pay cash into a giant R100 billion fund to “buy” their Black Empowerment points. The money still only helps black entrepreneurs , no real ownership or merit needed. • Employment Equity laws force strict racial hiring quotas on every company. You must hit race targets for who you hire and promote, or face huge fines. • BEE rules punish businesses unless they give ownership, top jobs and supplier deals based purely on race. • Government contracts and tenders strongly prefer black-owned companies, better or cheaper non-black businesses lose out automatically. This is straight-up government racism. @elonmusk was right, the ANC’s racist anti-merit agenda is destroying South Africa.
