the issue here, especially with TCM, is more than half of its programming came from the Turner, and later WB, library. If you remove the network from the library, how is it going to afford to license 100% of its programming?
I just heard from someone at Netflix. TCM is apparently going with the other linear networks to Discovery Global.
Here is the official comment on what WBD assets will be acquired by Netflix:
"We are acquiring the film and television studios, HBO and HBO Max."

Separating TCM from the library acquired to program it (and other Turner nets) is worrisome, because TCM itself owns no films.
A creative/licensing relationship may remain w/ Warner Bros., as was the plan when the WBD split was announced, but even that won't provide a longterm path forward. #WBD

If this is accurate, I don’t see how TCM survives without access to the pre-1948 MGM library.

Red Lobster never released a commercial with a jingle that went “Shrimply having a wonderful Fishmastime.” That’s why they went bankrupt.

Bob Crumb coming out of retirement just to say "RFK Jr. is right about vaccines and my ex-wife should've taken more advice from me" is such a fitting end to Boomer Americana and everything the "alt-comix" movement claimed to stand for

We should have gotten a third season and more.
I've had a similar experience getting people to watch Rome. They're like "But it's just history", and 5 episodes in they're like "Titus Pullo is the greatest character in literary history."

In case you ever need to cite an authority for the proposition that the ability to bullshit is a defining feature of humanity.
A lawyer's overstating of a case's holding might be permissible because the lawyer "could, perhaps, reason their way to showing how a case's stated holding might extend to novel situations." But an A.I.'s strained summary of a holding does not do that!

![way to showing how a case’s stated holding might extend to novel situations, an LLM does not reasonin the way a litigant must. To put it in a slightly different way, LLMs do not perform the metacognitive processes that are necessary to comply with Rule 11. LLMs are tools that “emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning.” Benjamin Riley, Large language mistake, The Verge https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/827820/large-language-models-ai-intelligence-neuroscience-problems [https://perma.cc/7EHD-PLLZ]. When an LLM overstates a holding of a case, it is not because it made a mistake whenlogically working through how that case might represent a “nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;” it is just piecing together a plausible-looking sentence – one whose content may or may not be true.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6o2u2byc2cellhzzisujort/bafkreibulxeb7xjxeu4x4vpnvjioce3v56qfxgfajy4w7qphe2incglora@jpeg)

Says something about the platform or the followers when many of the responses are literary novelists but the obvious answer is a genre novelist like Mick Herron (noted in a reply) or Richard Osman.
Wife and I were just discussing: Who are novelists who 1) published their first books this century, 2) are well known enough to be booked on TV/general interest podcasts, but 2a) not because of their political views?
