Netflix just got a record 160 Emmy nominations. Which makes sense because Netflix makes a gazillion shows. Which is possible because Netflix spends BILLIONS more than it makes. Every year. Which is what we talk about on today's Land of the Giants. https://t.co/kR5jtJ4kRw — PolitiTweet.org

@gabrielsnyder @poniewozik @danielradosh I think it's the opposite? And in any case I think it's just them accommodating reality: I'm opting in but if reality makes it impossible to attend, then we won't, regardless of protocol. — PolitiTweet.org

@gabrielsnyder @poniewozik @danielradosh And that, in the end, is where it all nets out. They don't have the information because much of the crucial information doesn't exist. Like: Is there any chance the subways will be able to safely transport teachers, staff, students to school? If not this is all bullshit anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

@poniewozik @gabrielsnyder @danielradosh But.... I'm also reasonably sure their planning assumptions *require* a substantial number of families to opt-out, so they have enough room in the schools to accommodate the opt-ins. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@gabrielsnyder @poniewozik @danielradosh Yes. Also in the doc — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@cwarzel Yup. Same for Twitter and YouTube. They are functioning as designed and any real change would mean a radical rebuild. They would be entirely different services and companies. — PolitiTweet.org

@poniewozik @danielradosh @gabrielsnyder Vague reference the opt-back-in in "student schedules" here, but as I recall the idea was that it was on a quarterly schedule. https://t.co/LEqa1LEy1A — PolitiTweet.org

@gabrielsnyder @poniewozik From the letter: "The vast majority of students who participate in fully remote learning will be taught by teachers from their school. While there may be some limited exceptions on a school-by-school basis..." — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@danielradosh @poniewozik @gabrielsnyder That's what I've seen in every message from the schools. — PolitiTweet.org

@gabrielsnyder I mean, I'm all for complaining about the DOE (and the Mayor and the Governor) but this seems pretty clear? One version the kids stay home all the time, and the other is that they stay home part of the time? — PolitiTweet.org

A few years ago reasonable people might think Trump and Jr were deliberately baiting Twitter and Facebook to punish them, so they could accuse Twitter and Facebook of censorship. But now we know: There is never a plan beyond the next couple minutes. https://t.co/6jq56lipyU — PolitiTweet.org

@JoannaStern @jasongay It was a crazy store! I used to go by all the time. Beyond me I’m not sure I saw a single customer there, ever. — PolitiTweet.org
