As former San Franciscans, my husband, toddler, and I quickly felt at home in Bristol.The progressive UK port city boasts an iconic suspension bridge, heaps of counterculture, and — not least because it’s the birthplace of Banksy — a vibrant creative scene.We’ve found comfort in these parallels, but we’ve faced challenges, too. One of the hardest parts was leaving behind my loving in-laws and the robust community of friends I’d met during my decade living in America.What’s more, I grew up on the opposite side of England, which means Bristol is a new place for all of us.Since arriving in…

Paramount Skydance, Comcast and Netflix formally submitted takeover offers for Warner Bros. Discovery this week ahead of a deadline for first-round offers, according to people familiar with the matter. Paramount Skydance and its advisors had been weighing in recent days whether to submit a higher bid than its previous $23.50-per-share offer that WBD rejected, some of the people said. Both Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, and Netflix, bid solely for the film and streaming assets, which consists of the Warner Bros. studio and HBO Max, the people said.
