Apparently the streaming companies are going to Congress to further crackdown on piracy (password sharing??) Which I no longer even care about.
But here is what I want to know...
Who (or what?) writes the thumbnail descriptions for the shows on #Netflix
? We cancelled our subscription after a number of years when they raised the rates and we we realized we didn't watch it very much.The reason we didn't watch much was that scrolling through the listings nothing ever sounded like something that would be good to watch. Even shows that were getting some buzz (and something has to get a huge amount of buzz before I hear of it) sounded flat and dull in the listings.
After scrolling the listings for a while, we would give up and do something, almost anything else than watch Netflix.

Many years ago, I predicted that the Internet would eventually become "cable TV." which in many ways it has.
Now it seems that TV (which already sucks so hard it hurts) is going to get worse by becoming the Internet.
The enshittification is getting really deep, really fast.

I don't give the slightest crap about Alec Baldwin, but can't help being exposed to the whole thing. Of course my sympathy goes to the family of the person killed.
But here is what amazes me.
I'm no engineer or expert, but it sure seems to me that there is no need for a real gun on a movie set. It seems to me there must be some way that guns can be modified to be unable to take any kind of live ammunition and still provide the desired cinematic effect.
Surely some kind of flash device can be engineered that would be harmless. Thousands of gunshots have been recorded so the sound can be foleyed. CGI could add to the effect if necessary -- it's only a thousandth of a second, how expensive can it be? If you need the sound on set for the actors to react to, some kind of electronic trigger could be linked to speakers to produce a realistic sound.
Why are the guns themselves the only thing that can't be faked?

It seems to me that MasterChef Junior is the kind of show that was designed to make people like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Donald Trump look at Gordon Ramsay and say:
"What a fucking douchebag. I'm not that much of a psychopath in my wettest of wet dreams."

It seems to me that the demographic for Court TV is people who tune into NASCAR and are disappointed at the end of the race when no one has died.
