The problem, among others, is that every big studio decided that they, and they alone, were going to win the streaming wars, crush everyone else in the process, and then cherry pick whatever good stuff was left from the corpses. So they all let their Netflix deals expire, rushed to start their own services with their…

FWIW, I am also a big believer that when it comes to teen media, people tend to watch the stuff at the level above them. Middle schoolers prob watch a fair amount of Riverdale rather than high schoolers who watch college stuff, etc.

There were articles literally days after Biden’s inauguration about Trump’s chances in 2024. Republican politics are a drug the press can’t give up on because either way they drive engagement.

Surprising that there isn’t more chatter around the fact that a prominent reporter thinks Musk is in a huge k-hole, and that’s why he’s acting so nuts.

The choices this AI makes are really odd. It needs to be recalibrated.

I don’t think Dawson gets the character, which is odd given the love she’s expressed for Ahsoka in the past.

BSG was an amazing show with very cool mythology for three seasons, and then completely flubbed the landing. Which sounds like is mostly your complaint - great start, all falls flat at the end. Moore’s oft-stated explanation is that the 2007-08 writer’s strike crushed their momentum (season 4 was delayed quite a bit),…

Every single presidential cycle there’s some wacko dude who emerges from the bottom of the pack and looks great 18 months out. The only one who’s ever won was Trump. The rest all flame out because it’s a long frigging campaign and the dominant paradigms tend to win out over time.

Was going to say, I’m very surprised that she “only” has $60m.

That is literally the stupidest thing I’ve seen a conservative judge write, and that’s saying something. Other rulings have been pathetically corrupt and/or naive (hi John Roberts!) but that’s just really really dumb.

Melania would be thrilled if Trump went to jail. Particularly since none of his crimes seem to have financial penalties attached to them. She clearly rarely sees him regardless, but if he was busted she’d be totally off the hook. And I doubt they’ve been intimate in years, but she would lock in never having to sleep…

Fun idea, and obviously a list like this is going to be totally subjective, but you missed the biggest summer song I can recall of the last 30 years: Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado in 2006. There has been nothing in my lifetime I can recall getting more wall-to-wall play for an entire summer than that song.

“Elon would have been a legend … if he hadn’t started tweeting,” Galloway wrote.

The idea of a trash pig like Greene, who has no idea what she’s doing and is only equipped to play culture war games, as VP would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.

Maybe a notes app statement down the road would be nice, but remember that Bullock is currently grieving the tragic death of her soulmate, so I’m inclined to give her a bit of grace here.

Guys, it ain’t freedom until you’ve got your boot on someone else’s face.

When you’re a crook, you assume everyone else is a crook too. 

I have three friends who I know of who tried IVP in their late 30s/early 40s. Only one was successful.

Well, they are Evangelicals. Goes with the turf.
