“[Netflix] members pay as much attention to midroll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves,” Amy Reinhard, president of advertising at Netflix, said, per the publication.

😂

Speaking to advertisers, Reinhard claimed that ad subscribers spend 41 hours per month on Netflix on average.

🤣

I want to believe you’re wrong, but… I can’t. 😔

Honestly, they’re not.

I hate to say it, but the system needs to crash and burn for people to wake up. I need and want to avoid that at all costs, but some people… most people… don’t seem to be able to learn without it.

I think you are overestimating just how much constituents are invested in what their politicians actually do…

Many many many persons feel the side effects, the burn, of their elected politicians deviating from what they hoped. And yet each election cycle, these politicians continue to be voted in.

I mean, they get mad, but mad enough to watch C-Span and make calls…? 😅

As you can see, Trump is saving the United States.

😏

I understand the issue. It’s clear. What I don’t understand is this article focusing on Ocasio-Cortez’s “by the light of day” comment.

Are people watching these proceedings live on C-Span with their hand on the phone ready to call their congressperson’s office? If Republicans pushed this through “during the light of day,” would it make any actual difference? Why can’t congresspersons challenge this in the middle of the night? Does Ocasio-Cortez think Republican constituents will be making those calls to change the minds of their politicians? 🤔

I was honestly thinking/waiting for the same explanation. Haha.

Makes perfect sense. But why not invent a whole new alien? Why modify an existing piece of canon (again)?

What’s done is done. What I’d simply like to know is the why. Maybe it’s in this article somewhere, but I gave up halfway. Probably just too sleepy atm. Someday I’ll read a source that gives a sensible why. Because what I’ve heard never really made sense. Why keep so much intact and change one thing so drastically?

Precisely my thought as well. In the long run, the order alone won’t amount to anything. It needs to be followed up. Not simply by other executive orders, but by other necessary reforms.

I guess I’m mostly interested and hopeful in the possible reform portion. The industry simply can’t be bludgeoned into compliance as he thinks he can achieve with everything. It will take careful planning, reorganization, and, gasp, additional controls and regulations.

Amusing, but the actual story is moreso. Turns out Mr Tansie tried to win the damages via property in CA “owned by god” since the deed had been recently signed over to god. 🤦🏽

The rest of the examples in the Wikipedia article are pretty amusing too. 😁

No worries. Looking incredible so far!

You nailed it regarding closure and the therapeutic nature of it. That’s exactly how I took it. Life throws a lot at people. We can’t stop that. It’s simply a byproduct of existence.

Sometimes closure is hard to find, so it was really nice to see that happen for someone. There are some things in my own life that still weigh quite heavy and it was nice to co-experience the feelings of Paul Giamatti’s character.

This is really neat. Got any other photos to share?

Thanks again for this. It was really helpful.

Watched Eulogy in the living room and one of my kids was kids hard in the feels zone. I chose to focus on the positive and really liked the episode. They wanted to know if this was how Black Mirror always was, so we watched my fav episode of San Junipero. Goodness do I love that one.

Anyway, I really enjoyed all the rest of the season.

That first episode really hit me hard, so I was worried about the rest. Maybe it was bad timing. More likely that it just hit too close to home. Add in the advertising economy in real life and how it’s everywhere, stealing your info, and blocking everything from any semblence of a good experience. It just got to me. I will never understand the irony in Netflix releasing this episode.

Oh no.

Oh no.

This a great interview.

Being brave enough to be wrong about something so fundamental is no small feat. In this clip, what he describes briefly at the end regarding his wife’s reaction is just the tip of the iceberg.

For people so deeply entrenched in ideologies and worldviews such as these, the ramifications of accepting being wrong and pivoting can be devastating to marriages, familial relations, communities, careers, and more.

My heart goes out to those wading through those waters, especially those gathering the courage to shed the falsehoods at great cost. 💜

Super cute! 💜
