Hello, 

 

I can’t believe it’s August already. Don’t get bummed about the final month of summer. Let me cheer you up with some of our top stories from July. 

 

In the past month, Puck’s elite team of journalists detailed the next shoe to drop in Putin’s war games, unveiled a huge Hollywood breakup, investigated CNN’s latest headaches, charted the G.O.P.’s frustration with Dr. Oz, dissected the collateral damage following Musk’s messy Twitter exit, and much more. 

 

Take a look at what you may have missed in July.

Aspen

Julia Ioffe (July 26, 2022)

Netflix’s Animated Double-Down

Julia Alexander (July 24, 2022)

Out with the Ryan Murphy deals, and in with the modest-sized bets on cheaper, “stickier” animation and anime fare.

Musk Reckoning

The Musk Reckoning

William D. Cohan (July 10, 2022)

Wall Street predicts Elon’s exit collateral damage. Plus: Is Netflix’s true EBITDA $20 billion, or adjusted to $6.5 billion? The company won’t say—which may be one reason Wall Street isn’t buying.

Ginni Thomas

Who’s Afraid of Ginni Thomas?

Tina Nguyen (July 6, 2022)

The SCOTUS conservative majority’s unofficial First Lady has driven liberals berserk with her Trumpism, January 6th adjacency, and anti-Roe activism. It’s enough to make some in this town wonder if her Facebook posts narrate her husband’s internal monologue.

SBF

The Passion of S.B.F. & The Next MacKenzie

Theodore Schleifer (July 5, 2022)

Notes on the crypto king’s web3 bailout and Semafor media ambitions. Plus my conversation with Nicole Shanahan, who could be the next MacKenzie Scott.
