TODAY:

• ‘Rage bait’ named Oxford word of the year 2025
• Paramount Preparing “Hostile Bid” for Warner Bros. as Trump DOJ “Concerned” About Netflix Deal
• Donald Trump’s bleak, incoherent foreign-policy strategy (not as incoherent as the headline wants you to think)
• 15 buildings by the late Frank Gehry

I need to get around 10 pages of script and probably one rough outline out the door today. I also have 3000 unread stories in my RSS reader! Most of me is ready to curl up somewhere with a book.

Currently rebuilding the board for the newsletter, which returns on 11 January 2026.
