@danroth @Mike_Eagle @DJPrincePaul This assumes that there is an interesting businessperson who is willing to speak candidly for 13 hours. Need to ponder. — PolitiTweet.org

When I talked to @rohamg last week Dapper Labs was worth a mere $2.5 billion and now it’s worth $7.5 billion so draw your own conclusion. (I do this work for free, you’re welcome). https://t.co/qYeH3ivE79 — PolitiTweet.org

@elizashapiro What I’m telling you, as are other parents, is that there’s a disconnect between what City Hall/DOE is telling you and what administrators believe and are doing/not doing. So telling us that things are rumors or not correct seems beside the point. — PolitiTweet.org

You can half-empty or half-full Matt’s situation: *If substack isn’t full time for him - in a big, prosperous city w/lots of potential subscribers, then how can substack be a real answer to the local journalism crisis? Or, otoh... — PolitiTweet.org

@film_girl @CarlLuberti @cdibona They have already said they will not. And I talked to kilar about that last week. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@film_girl @CarlLuberti @cdibona So real question is if there will be falloff in quality/quantity - and if so when we would be able to judge that. One thing that will help distinguish, btw, is when avod launches soon and hbo Max shows have ads and hbo shows don’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@film_girl @CarlLuberti @cdibona Yup there have definitely been jousts over who owns what but that is *supposed* to be getting better. Im assuming that most of what we see in HBO today is still stuff from pre-acquisition pipeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@film_girl @cdibona Maybe they will get better at differentiating between regular hbo and max, or maybe they will try to make it even more amorphous. Confusing! But if I’m still getting hbo shows I like I don’t see the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@CarlLuberti @film_girl @cdibona I’ve read Alex’s excellent piece and it’s certainly true that it has been messy and chaotic acquisition/integration and it’s still unclear whether ATT should have done it. Still looking for evidence that HBO, the premium TV service, has been harmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@film_girl @cdibona Clunky launch for sure. HBO max is a weird brand for sure, and I have given up trying to get people to explain what it is besides “more stuff for women.” But: Plepler didn’t program HBO, and the guy who did is still there and the stuff is still good, no? — PolitiTweet.org

Oh also Amazon added at least 50 million Prime subscribers in the last year. Now more than 200 million worldwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

At the very least, it shows complaints about the way Amazon treats its workers have lodged in Bezos’ head. Lots of time spent defending Amazon’s record while pledging to do better. (Never seen “musculoskeletal disorders” in a shareholder letter before.) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@fimoculous If true, fact that they didn’t have one in advance of axios is a big miss. The fact they didn’t spin up their own once axios announced they were going to harvest the Strib for themselves is negligent. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@edmundlee @felixsalmon @hcoster No one is paying to read axios, yet. — PolitiTweet.org
