Baseline: All award shows are stupid and have problems with representation.

Other than the aforementioned financial savings the CEO mentioned, you mean.

I would argue that your average person doesn’t have a “cursory knowledge” of Norse Mythology. Not everyone’s grade school European History class went deep into Viking religion.

The Grammys are definitely racist, but that’s not why Beyonce never wins album of the year. It’s because she’s overhyped and not really good enough to live up to her legend.

You’ll forgive me for not giving a single goddamn fuck about what the Grammys think of anything, when they gifted an utter bigot an award last night.

I’ve worked at Jimmy Johns. We sliced the meat ahead of time as part of the daily prep. If it looked like we were running out of something we’d have someone hop on and get more prepped. We didn’t do that shit per order and I would be surprised if Subway did, too.

If they know they have a bunch of orders for a particular meat, I’m sure they’ll just slice a bunch at once rather than process one sandwich at a time.

OTOH, every other sub chain slices on site, so maybe it’s not a huge deal. Even Jimmy John’s (whose whole shtick is speed) slices on site. I’d be surprised if it was sliced to order - staff will use “down time” to slice meat for service.

Literally everyone knows this - it’s been public for decades.

What does she have for proof about Allen’s actions?

Camel, eye of needle, just being a generally good person ...

In theory, they have to be paying some kind of residuals to actors, writers, directors, etc. But I can’t imagine its really that onerous of a cost.

I just don’t think the guy has any idea what he’s doing.

Does HBO Max also have a CEO of Tits?

“Check your app, pal, because you’re watching Fuck City, now streaming on HBO Max!”

This is entirely about not having to pay residuals or broadcast rights fees.
WB got loaded up with WAY too much debt between its AT&T tenure and what Zaslav had to borrow to pull off the merger. Add in the popping of the streaming growth bubble and there’s pretty much no possible way for WB Discovery to grow it’s way…

I’m not paying for HBO if they are going to cut so many shows I enjoyed. Just try turning a premier cinamatic outlet into whatever the Discovery Channel is and watch it fail.

Jeez, is HBO gonna start charging for blue check marks now?

Welp, looks like its time to finally do what I was too cheap to do a decade ago and splurge on the complete The Wire box set so I can show my grandchildren what America was like

Oh, I think if you look around you’ll find there’s a whole torrent of ways to get it.

The guy running HBO sure does seem to suck.
