Disqus’s blocking is pretty woeful (for a start it should be able to prevent the blockee from seeing your posts, so it’s really “muting”, not “blocking”) but it’s still better than what we have here.

Good question. How indeed IS it news? Perhaps the AV Club will one day publish a feature on how chronological events occurring sequentially are refashioned into narratives and loaded onto a website.

Maybe the fundamental issue is that binge-watching is an unhealthy way to consume media. Insert whatever modifier on “unhealthy” that you wish, whether physically, emotionally, cognitively.

Myles I wonder if you’re seeing a live A/B test in action. Netflix can probably stream different UI to different audiences to test outcomes.

I see IQs really did drop sharply while I was away.

This is such a profoundly toxic comment that I felt compelled to rejoin the av club to express what a dolt you are.
