This CA “billionaire” tax is an unrealized gains tax. A unicorn startup founder becomes a paper billionaire around $5B val. At YC we avg 2 to 4 per year (!) This will kill startups and innovation in California since a founder is illiquid while instantly on the hook for $100M
NEWS: Larry Page and Peter Thiel are making moves to leave California by the end of the year to avoid a possible billionaires tax that could hit them where it hurts. With @RMac18 + @hknightsf. https://t.co/VyYtHPRdYQ

This guy on IG makes stop-motion animations using toy military figures mixed with real war-movie backgrounds. It’s insanely good. AI can’t touch this level of creativity.

I’m not an aficionado of (recent) Christian music, but DC3’s prospects are very strong. Worth a listen

Sydney Sweeney and Timothy Chalamet showing star power this weekend. 💪💪 I liked Housemaid except for a scene where they served charcuterie with tea. Lunacy!
“The Housemaid” earned $19 million domestically during its first weekend in theaters. Initial crowds were 70% female and 75% above the age of 25, according to PostTrak. https://t.co/dvYF7igglM

Part of becoming a star is picking the right movie and the right filmmaker at the right time. That is one of the things that great stars are great at. If you aren’t, make sure someone on your team is.

Just discovered that they gave out a “Best Western Series Emmy” exactly once, in 1959 — and this is the very statue! My grandfather won it for Maverick.

Last week’s box office was up vs 2024, 2019, and 2018. This week is down 50%+ vs all, with one new movie in the top 10, 2 foreign, and 2 revivals. It’s not that good movies are doing poorly, it’s that there just aren’t good new movies to see. Movie output is clearly too low.

“Sequels-only is not a long-term business plan.” True. The most important task for the next DIS CEO will be to fix animation. (After that, fix Star Wars.)
Disney Animation CCO Jared Bush on original animated films. "Sequels-only is not a long-term business plan. I think we all know that the studios that push originality are the ones that audiences remember. You need originals to surprise people. I don’t know anybody that doesn’t
