it gives you neat features like a fully-customizable Multiview (depending on your device) and the ability to add-on RSNs if you’d like.

$20/mo (even if their channel lineup is different).

3) Watch on-demand services like Paramount+, Peacock, Max, Disney+, & Prime Video instead. You’ll have to hop between apps but these all offer varying degrees of live sports now, too.

4) Fubo’s essential plan only saves about $3/mo but…

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.

β€œLate-night comedy” is kind of an odd term in the streaming era. It’s an β€œany time I want” comedy, thank you very much.

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

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.

Seems like no one’s been talking about how the β€œTikTok 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.

At times comments from my YT comment section have unlocked bodily insecurities in me I didn’t know existed.

At the same time I think showing my face helped people see my content was real and not AI. I got more views on TikTok when I quit doing β€œfaceless” stuff.

Moral of the story is… you do you!

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.

Make of that what you will.

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.

He’s already spent 3 years as a state rep and 10 years as a U.S. rep w/ 10 yrs+ military experience. Seems like enough to me, esp by 2020s standards.

A tip for here I read was to follow a lot of starter packs of interest to you and hopefully gain mutuals this way, as well as making your feed "more interesting".

Yeah I think so many people forget the lukewarm reception ROTJ and the prequels originally got at that time, at least with critics.

Same. Really hoping they flesh out the plot lines for all three movies instead of winging it as they go along.
