Cancelling YouTube TV? Here are the best alternatives, IMO. 🧵
1) Get an antenna. You can watch local channels (including NFL games) for free. Pair it w/ an Air TV or Tablo to record shows & cast to all the TVs in your household.
2) Sling. While their price is ALSO going up, you’ll save at least…

The other night, I started HBO's SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE without knowing a thing about it & fell head over heels for this cathartic, earnest, sweet Midwestern set series, which has shocked me into laughter, soothed me, & made me cry in equal measure. I see why it's won a Peabody; the last ep airs Sunday.

I had 60,000 followers on Twitter after 14 years on the site. I have 30,000 after maybe a year here. If journalists are looking for a place to build back up a coherent reading audience that’s actually engaging with our work, this place obviously seems like it has that particular juice

Seems like no one’s been talking about how the “TikTok ban” will go into effect in January.
I don’t know how this will shake out, but with Trump involved I’m guessing something really slimy will happen that gives his loyalists power over the platform.

Trump may try to reverse TikTok ban. Here's how he could.
The ban is set to go into effect on Jan. 19, a day before Trump's inauguration.

There was an uptick in traffic for Netflix-related content on my YouTube channel that seemed to correlate with the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson fight.

One of the most depressing, Fahrenheit 451-level things I’ve seen in recent memory.
The building that was once the headquarters for KC’s newspaper will be converted into an AI data center for a company w/ an odd, seemingly Alt Right-adjacent manifesto on its website.

Where did the term “I don’t give a rat’s ass” come from? Like who just has rat asses lying around and why are they some form of currency all the sudden?
