Minor note but Sesame Street should be fine since it’s not actually owned by HBO. It’s owned by an independent nonprofit (Sesame Workshop) which currently has a distribution deal with HBO, but episodes are also still available on PBS (both broadcast and streaming).

Your regular format is a 5 course meal, and this is a nice steak and salad, I love a nice steak and salad, so more of this when called for. Big yep on the streaming thing, being one of the few winners was gonna be equivalent to being ABC/NBC/CBS, so it made sense to go all in, but at some point its gotta pay off, and it looks like some point is now. I wonder how long the Tubis and Plutos can hang on.

I’d never heard of Garry Tan either and while I’m certainly no fan of tech bros rule the world, it’s not something I write about directly as a rule. Plus I’m not very important on Twitter. But he blocked me, too. I’m gonna assume someone wrote an algorithm that blocked people based on their profiles and/or people they follow that he doesn’t like.
