                 Paramount’s planned takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery inspired a protest letter with a list of signatures that’d make any autograph collector swoon. Yesterday, an ensemble cast of over 1,000 Hollywood creators—including dozens of A-listers like Ben Stiller, Joaquin Phoenix,​​ Kristen Stewart, and Tiffany Haddish—issued a

                 by saying that merging competencies will help the new megastudio compete and green-light more projects. It also reiterated CEO David Ellison’s vow that the merged behemoth would release at least 30 movies per year for the big screen.

                 Hollywood was worried even before the tectonic merger appeared on the seismographs. The amount of work available has already been reduced by productions moving to cheaper overseas locations and by streaming platforms prioritizing profitability over growing content libraries. The number of jobs in the industry has dropped by 30% since late 2022, according to government data.

                  The merger has also rankled pricey popcorn purveyors:
                 </strong>
                 Earlier this month, Cinema United, the trade group representing 31,000 US movie theater screens, asked state attorneys general to investigate the deal over competition concerns. The group said it worries fewer movie releases could endanger business—which is already struggling with weak box-office hauls.

Iran responded that if its ports are threatened, “no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will be safe.” With a tenuous ceasefire still in place, Trump said Iran had reached out to seek a peace deal, something Iran did not immediately confirm. Vice President JD Vance, who was part of the recent talks, said yesterday that a deal was possible but “it’s up to the Iranians” to take the next step.

The investment bank’s profit jumped 19% to $5.63 billion, beating expectations as dealmaking and market volatility delivered Goldman’s second-best quarter ever for overall profit and revenue. But Goldman’s stock still fell nearly 2% as investors fretted over an unexpected drop in bond-trading revenue. CEO David Solomon criticized analysts for setting the bar too high.

The president criticized US-born Pope Leo XIV after the religious leader spoke out against the war in Iran, and the pope responded that he was “not afraid of the Trump administration” and would continue to spread the Gospel. Meanwhile, Trump also posted an AI-generated image that showed him in robes with light emanating from his hands tending to a sick man, but deleted it after it drew pushback. He said he thought the image portrayed him “as a doctor.”

So, perhaps keep that in mind as motivation to persevere the next time you find yourself repeatedly shouting “representative.”
