I think the last time I watched any of these was over a decade ago, many of them two decades.
Buying up news and media properties does seem to be the cool thing for billionaires to do these days. Musk bought twitter, Bezos bought the Washington Post, Rupert Murdoch was ahead of the curve owning Fox. Now Ellison gets some of the crappy leftovers.
I'm honestly more worried that google owns YouTube and there are no major competitors to YouTube. There are singular YouTube channels that have more views than all of these media properties combined. And there are definitely many YouTube networks that reach similar viewership numbers.

The Machine has some funny over the top action comedy.
I also enjoyed the Deadpool films.

I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and have a CPAP machine. It's done wonders for my sleep quality.
It's good that the nasal strips work for you, my blockage is in the back of the throat.
If you have medical insurance it's worth getting checked out for sleep issues. There are some magical phrases you can look up that will allow a regular physician to recommend you to a specialist.

Can anyone explain the Mexico civil unrest to me? I know that a major cartel leader was killed, but why does that lead to widespread violence?

To be fair to AI I've fizzled out on a dozen or so stories after writing about 10k words.
I think there might be a hump at a that point where where story idea turns into story and I'm not sure it's easy for most people to pass.

The Superbowl is a big enough stage that it benefits artists to be on such a big platform. If I remember correctly the singers are not paid much for their performance. Their compensation is in exposure.
Your point basically reinforces that bad bunny was well compensated for the performance.
I've long made the comparison between "gender" and titles. I think it was one of my early moderator stances on slatestarcodex.
Butchering someone's title intentionally does seem like a mark of disrespect. But insisting someone else use a title is a form of social domination. "President" is a title as well.
Disrespect: Former reality TV star Donald Trump gave the SOTU address.
Neutral: Donald Trump's SOTU address spoke on these topics...
Domination: Any news agency that does not refer to President Trump as President Trump in their articles will not be invited to the white house press corps briefings.
