News from yesterday that I missed but is very important.
Figured out I could install an indoor #HDTVAntenna to stream local stations. I can now watch the local news (and commercials) live…and this excites me since I didnhave to subscribe to some $80+ service to get it. I bought the #Mohu leaf ultra-thin antenna.

Roomba maker iRobot is filing for bankruptcy after being steamrolled by cheap Chinese rivals. The 2023 acquisition attempt by Amazon got blocked by regulators because Amazon might favor iRobot while selling vacuums on its marketplace.
So instead we get… bankruptcy. Congrats? 🤦🏾♂️

The Ellison family has promised Trump that if they get to purchase Warner Bros then they will revamp CNN to make it more friendly to his administration.
It remains to be seen if Netflix can match that offer.
