Happenings:

• Gina Caranno has sued Disney. (Twitter) It will go to Discovery, and Discovery will expose (under penalty of Perjury) exactly how bad things really are and how they got that way- and thus assist Nelson Peltz in his bid to take over Disney and clean up that mess for good.
• Fandom Pulse has a related story: "Elon Musk Exposes Disney DEI Memo: Standards Include 50% Or More Of Actors, Directors, Writers And Characters Have To Be From ‘Underrepresented Groups’" (Substack) You can expect this to apply to all tie-in projects, such as comics or novels, until the DIE regime is destroyed at the Mouse (and thus throughout its corporate structure); do not even entertain an offer from the Mouse or its subsidiaries.
• Yakov Merkin launched a second chance campaign for Amaranth Angels at Indiegogo.
