    Larry Elison is also behind the TikTok deal that is guaranteed to never make money. 20% perpetual sales royalty to Bytedance + $14B, is $14B more right away for the same amount of profit to Bytedance in perpetuity.

    The only reason TikTok was ever a “national security” concern is that it was the only media not controlled by Zionazi messaging. People were allowed to publish Israel atrocities. Most news media does not make direct money. It’s owner purpose is power/control over narratives.

    It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

    Sounds like a solid bonus lol

    Consumers blacklist Paramount for anti-semitism. Because Palestinians are semites too.

    (Yes I know linguistically it was originally created as a political label to prevent persecution against Jews, which means we can co-opt it as a political label to prevent persecution against Palestinians)

    “Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”

    I just blacklisted Paramount in my home.

    It sure looks like any movies with Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo will be the only ones i go see in a theatre, and I haven’t gone to a movie theatre in years. Possibly a decade or more, I can’t remember the last movie I saw in an actual theatre.

    The pledge, organized by Film Workers for Palestine and published Monday, initially featured 1,200 signatories, including filmmakers and actors: Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Boots Riley, Adam McKay, Olivia Colman, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Harris Dickinson, Guy Pearce, Jonathan Glazer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, Elliot Page, Payal Kapadia, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rooney Mara.

    Kind of seems like Paramount’s loss. Oh well, they may not have the actors but at least they have Larry Ellison and an unwavering commitment to genocide.
