I grew up hearing, “The initial selling point of cable was that it was ad-free, then they started adding ads.”

But the reality now is that they’re offering ads for a couple bucks cheaper, and all my idiot neighbors are foaming at the mouth to subscribe, so in a few years there won’t be a market for ad-free anymore.

Yes.

The very basics of the universe is that there was a republic that lasted thousands of years, but then was toppled and a totalitarian regime was instituted (The Empire.) After 20 years, a group of rebels toppled The Empire and made a new republic.

Andor takes place during the 20 years of the empire, focusing on the formation of the rebellion. It is significantly lower fantasy than most of Star Wars, which features characters who can channel mystical powers (The Force.) The Force is almost completely absent from Andor. A lot of people who don’t really like the supernatural elements like Andor for that reason.

Go was the one connected to a cable subscription. Now was the cable-free subscription.

Marketing team: “There must be some combination of colors and letters that will make our brand a smash hit. We just need to find them!”

Kristi Noem will be personally hosting the final challenge: a shooting competition at a puppy mill.

Haven’t watched it yet, but I’m skeptical of any travel show that doesn’t star Karl Pilkington.

What a terrible title.

Breakfast for dinner. I find deserts too arid for my taste.

Horror has always been a source of social commentary, though. Going all the way back to at least Frankenstein, published in 1818.

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.
