      Me reacting to that statement 30 years ago: Yeah ok it’s the Illuminati controlling the world and doing evil shit. I’ll be sure to hunt them down in the future smash hit game Deus Ex.

      Me reacting to that statement 30 seconds ago: fuck

        One rich asshole called Larry Ellison is a large part of the purchase. He’s a VERY close ally of Israel and his son David runs Paramount Skydance. Larry’s backing their acquisition of Warner Bros.

        The Ellison family has a very big say on what media gets created and watched in the US now.
