A side effect of so many streaming channels is that they are all feeling the pressure to keep up with the catalog depth of Netflix and Disney/Hulu. This results in lots of mediocre content being produced to create the illusion of lots of stuff to watch. But no one wants to watch it or hasn't heard of it to build mind hype for it. All that content is wasted money to prop up a failing service that is bleeding every contender dry. There will be more like Paramount. Consolidation is coming.

Can we take aim at Southern state leaders? Is that a phrase that's allowed or is it only permitted for when business targets others?
Let's put up billboards and take out ads to show the leaders who oppose the unions and how much money they have taken from business to sell their soul. Then we can let folks know these leaders are out to make their lives harder and to elect people who will help make their lives better. Put those who oppose the common person out in front and really challenge them personally.
Why is no one also mad at the lobbying group? They come up with ideas to thwart any improvement for us all and don’t see any ethical issues with what they are doing. Being paid to be genuinely evil is something that shouldn’t exist as a job.
Something that deserves recognition is that the champions of fiscal conservative spending are wildly irresponsible with money themselves. It’s another hypocritical, “do as I say and not as I do” behavior from the right.
It looked like some Rick and Morty inspired cash grab from Paramount+ to fill out their streaming line up, so it was immediately passed over by me and some friends. When it got a 3rd season I realized it was probably going to last and started watching it when I can.
I wanted to get Paramount+ for it but their other Trek stuff is hot garbage for this TNG fan and it feels like paying for just one show would encourage them to continue fucking up Trek like they have. At least I have good friends who don’t mind subsidizing Rick Berman’s flavor of boomer space action.
It only takes a miniscule amount of money to make a business work by keeping workers happy. It takes a moronic business leader to refuse to spend because they can’t live without their single digit percentages.
Glad that business saw the light and made some sustainable choices.

“Freedom of speech,” said Jessica. “Didn’t everyone fight for our freedoms for free speech so we could do what we want here?"
Also breaking news: Jessica is a bitch
No, freedom of speech doesn’t mean “do what you want” it means the government can’t tell you to shut up because it doesn’t like you. Freedom of speech stops at the government: this shit head was undermining the very foundation of what America stands for by scaring anyone who doesn’t look like the gunman.

The Central Bucks school board has made national headlines for its heated meetings and book banning policy. On Tuesday, voters flipped the board from majority Republican to majority Democrat.
Because right wingers lack subtly and nuance. They don’t understand how to talk about something that they don’t agree with and lack the mental flexibility to entertain an idea without agreeing to it.
Right wingers hate everything that makes people happy except hurting others. They love to hurt others. So they have taken to attacking people where they can, like schools and at the hospital. Places that people have to use are the places authoritarians are attacking with ideology to force their future on children who can’t make their own choices.
