I am a bit 😒 about the #StrangerThings Netflix “outage.” Coming on the heels of the Pluribus/Apple TV outage.
I feel like we’re starting to get into “21-minute standing ovation at Cannes” territory.

Seems better to force them to get to get 7 then to get 3
And now it's tied because of it

Remember: kicking to go up 6 is a great way to give opponent better field position and lose by 1.

Cable is still around … it’s not like it disappeared overnight.
Even if you cut the cord, there are no government restrictions to going BACK to cable as you’ve realized streaming saves you NOTHING.
It’s easy. Just blame it on being old. Like me.

Pro tip: If you make episodes so freaking long that they take an entire week to watch individual episodes, even if you release them all at once, it still counts as a weekly release.

The Ken Burns American Revolution doc is very good. This is a good time to tell you you can watch all episodes on the PBS website right now if you become a supporting member. Public TV and public radio need your support now more than ever.

Good luck to their anthropology department.
If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

This is... confusing. But also just a bummer, because even if Johnson manages to pull this off, I'll miss Lyonne as Charlie so much.

It was always going to be Dick Durbin, by the way. Chuck couldn’t vote this time but his longtime deputy absolutely could be the final vote.
It’s a shame that the plans are this easy to see through.

Apple's "Pluribus" is shrouded in mystery and my review is in a Q&A format so you can pick and choose what you want to find out (only limited spoilers, regardless).
Bottom Line: It's an intriguing, VERY funny show and a great vehicle for the great Rhea Seehorn.
