Netflix Swallows HBO? Plus Crypto Chaos and Murder at Sea

Netflix just dropped a bomb on Hollywood: a proposed $72 billion takeover of Warner Bros. and HBO. If regulators approve this mega-deal, Netflix would control both its own global streaming empire and the HBO universe, potentially ending the so-called “streaming wars” in one move. We break down what the deal really means for viewers, creators, movie theaters, and antitrust regulators in the Trump era. Then we zoom into your garage. A lone tinkerer’s DIY gadget, RATGDO, has become a symbol of the fight against “smart” devices that spy on you, lock you into subscriptions, and can be remotely shut down by corporations. Do you actually own your tech anymore, or are you just renting your own home back from the cloud? We turn to Bitcoin’s latest price whiplash and the broader crypto circus. With violent swings and no real-world use as money, top economists still call crypto a high-tech casino. We arm you with practical arguments to crush “fiat is worthless” talking points and explain why crypto keeps failing the basic tests of a currency. Next, the tragic case of Matthew Perry’s ketamine doctor, now heading to prison. We explore how authority bias, celebrity halo effects, and money pressures can warp medical judgment, turning doctors into enablers instead of protectors for high-status patients battling addiction. We also unpack the collapsing criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, where a grand jury has again refused to indict. What does it really say about Trump’s effort to weaponize the Justice Department against a prosecutor who successfully nailed him for massive civil fraud? Finally, we look at Trump’s kill-on-sight boat attacks, where U.S. forces have struck 22 suspected drug-smuggling boats and killed 87 people at sea. Legal experts say this isn’t a new “war” on cartels; it may simply be murder under both U.S. and international law. We explain why the entire legal theory behind these strikes collapses the moment you step outside the White House bubble.

If approved, Netflix would control one of the biggest studios in TV and film. Warner Bros. Discovery plans to split in 2026; Netflix gets the “Warner” half, while “Discovery Global” keeps the cable networks. Netflix outbid Paramount and Comcast and is preparing for a bruising antitrust fight. Fans see creative potential; critics warn it could crush competitors and centralize too much power in one streaming giant. Story 2 – Smart Device Ownership A homeowner, Paul Wieland, built RATGDO after Chamberlain’s MyQ locked users into subscriptions and shut down third-party access. He expected to sell 100 units; he sold tens of thousands. The backlash highlights a bigger issue: we don’t own many of our “smart” devices—companies do. Remote shutdowns and software locks keep customers dependent. Story 3 – Bitcoin Volatility & Crypto Skepticism Bitcoin is swinging wildly again—around $91K after dipping to $85K, nearly 30% below its peak. Economists like Krugman still argue crypto isn’t real money: it’s too volatile, easily manipulated, and often entangled with fraud. And the “fiat is worthless” argument? Wrong. The dollar is backed by government power, legal systems, and the Federal Reserve. Story 4 – Matthew Perry & Authority Bias A California doctor who illegally supplied ketamine to Matthew Perry before his death has been sentenced to 2.5 years. He knew Perry struggled with addiction but increased his doses anyway, even mocking him in private texts. Story 5 – Letitia James Case Collapses A federal grand jury has refused—again—to indict New York AG Letitia James over a minor mortgage classification issue. The bank never claimed harm, and career prosecutors previously rejected the case. The first indictment was thrown out due to an improperly appointed Trump-era prosecutor; the new grand jury declined to revive it. Story 6 – Trump’s Boat Strikes Congress is probing a strike that killed two survivors floating in the water, but legal experts say the whole campaign of 22 boat attacks, killing 87 people, may be illegal. Trump calls cartel smugglers “enemy combatants,” but the U.S. isn’t at war with cartels and has no authorization for such force. Under U.S. and international law, these suspects are civilians who should be arrested, not summarily killed.
