Why Netflix has its best shot at Best Picture, and why the Oscars are never going to be The Oscars again, despite the best efforts of DJ Khaled and Shaun White. And why our fav movie pros @LegsFrank + @alissamarie are kinda fine with that? https://t.co/wLUV2nhcm7 https://t.co/9ju8TARjEA — PolitiTweet.org

It should also be easy for Apple to do. But Apple has committed itself to fighting to keep its service fees for as long as it can. Meanwhile Google - where app $ is way less important - gets a useful merit point it hopes to use in the ongoing antitrust wars. — PolitiTweet.org

BuzzFeed is publicly owned but controlled by CEO Jonah Peretti. That’s both a reason it still has a news operation - because Peretti wants one - and a reason that its share price is depressed - because Peretti doesn’t want to sell. — PolitiTweet.org

BuzzFeed projects revenues for Q1 will shrink by “a low single-digit percentage”. While we are here: Michael Del Nin, media vet who organized BF SPAC and was supposed to join BF as president this year, never took the job. He’s working for George Soros instead. — PolitiTweet.org

NYT 10 years ago: “In a large swath of the East Side bounded by Fifth and Park Avenues and East 49th and 70th Streets, about 30 percent of the more than 5,000 apartments are routinely vacant more than 10 months a year bc their owners or renters have permanent homes elsewhere.” — PolitiTweet.org

But that leaves a lot of normals who would *not* want to work from their kitchen tables, despite what WFH experts may say. — PolitiTweet.org

So I get that there are hyper rich people who can afford a *lot* of space, and also young people (also rich tbh) who are willing to trade space for lifestyle for a while. — PolitiTweet.org
