'The publishing industry is consolidating, with German media giant Bertelsmann's purchase of rival Simon & Schuster in November for $2.2 billion shrinking the so-called Big Five of American publishing — which also includes HarperCollins, Hachette Book Group and Macmillan — to four.
News Corp. had reportedly been interested in buying Simon & Schuster and its CEO Robert Thomson slammed the megadeal when it was announced, calling Bertelsmann a “book behemoth” and “literary leviathan” that would dominate the market.'

world leaders call for pandemic treaty so bruce willis and brad pitt don't have to remake the movie '12 monkeys' in the future and / or the past to warn us again:
'Last week, Tedros pleaded with rich countries to immediately donate 10 million COVID-19 vaccines so that immunization campaigns could start in all countries within the first 100 days of the year. Not a single country has yet publicly offered to share its vaccines immediately. Of the more than 459 million vaccines administered globally, the majority have been in just 10 countries — and 28% in just one.'

covid media downsizing means more writers and journalists doing their own thing and lobbying for more basic income stimulus checks ?
'First it was HuffPost, a 15-year-old publication that made deep cuts shortly after a major merger with BuzzFeed. Then Medium, a publishing platform known for frequent changes in its business strategy, pivoted once again and offered buyouts to all of its editorial staff. And then a lesser known but beloved men's lifestyle digital outlet, MEL Magazine, was shut down by its owner, Unilever's (UL) Dollar Shave Club. Vice Media also cut a handful of top jobs this week, positioning it as a restructuring rather than a cost-cutting move.'

owensboro, kentucky to open restaurant named after the place where god lived
'For now, Davidson and his team have been holding soft openings. Though it’s located where the former Eight Ball Restaurant used to be at 1846 Triplett Street, Davidson and his team have renovated the entire space to accommodate their vision.
“In the past, I’ve been involved in entertainment,” said Davidson, who also spearheads the Sheila K. Foundation. “We’ve hosted parties during the Dust Bowl and bring in artists for that. But we’ve never had our ownership until now.” '

jimmy carter and bob dylan were buds before carter became president, says a 2020 rock & roll documentary called 'rock and roll president'
'Carter, now 96, was especially fond of Dylan's music. He referenced Dylan's 1965 song "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" during his presidential acceptance speech at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. ("I've never had more faith in America than I do today," Carter said. "We have an America that in Bob Dylan's phrase is busy being born, not busy dying.")'
