I'm not sure if bars around me are closing because I'm too busy sitting inside my home drinking bourbon!

I keep encountering humans who generally dislike pizza. Is this a new trend? Is this a sign of civilization ending?

I want the app to run the old 3D HBO feature presentation graphic upon opening/load up. I geeked when they did that on Winning Time.

Ugh. How is this going. It feels grim. Which is really unfortunate. This is such a critical fight to be won on behalf of creatives. But the business freaks who run these studios don't actually give any shits about their product. It's so god damn depressing.

It's criminal. Arguably a top 5 show on tv and a top 3 show for me right now. It was so excellent. The acting, the direction, even the ridiculous overdramatizations worked really well. Season 2 was incredible and the Westhead / Riley storyline was so well executed.

I assume the Writer's strike actually is the underlying issue. However, who the fuck knows what goes on over at HBO. Or I'm sorry, MAX. They've demonstrated they have no clue wtf they are doing with their brand or their IP. So I wouldn't be surprised if it failed to hit some self fabricated streaming metric and that put it up for consideration to be axed. This is the same organization that banked their success on THE IDOL.

It feels like Execs can't imagine letting a show slow burn into popularity. If it isn't Last Season of Game of Thrones buzz, they are ready to kill things in their infancy; totally forgetting that Game of Thrones was a slow burn.

Every damn time. O2 sensor. Solenoid. I have a sensor flashing on my car now that I'm just going to sit on for another 2 weeks.
