Ed Zitron renews my faith in Journalism every time I read
“Waugh your work is too long” give it up. The blogs get longer with every complaint. You think I won’t drop a 25,000 word one? And email it to you? You think I won’t print it out and mail it to you? You think I won’t “skibbidi” out of your damn garbage disposal and start screaming it at you?

At some point these videos will learn how to do long takes…

You know… it just occurred to me that Netflix also has a decent amount of debt. And though it’s cash flow positive it’s become hush in terms of subscriber growth. It’s biggest revenue.
If they ever lost their advantage. If people quit Netflix and didn’t renew… this deal looks fucking disastrous.

There’s a ton of scattered news on it but prop betting across the board is so out of hand that most professional sports operate more or less like the WWE.
Almost all of it is staged or rigged to some degree for billions to be made. It’s never been this out of hand.

Yeah but Facebook makes over 50 billion in revenue… a season.
It was bad. But it coulda (and shoulda) been worse.
We keep acting like numbers such as 100-200 billion dollars means anything to companies over a trillion dollars in worth.
There’s a problem here. A giant wealth one…
