I would also add Bridgerton, tho @RoyPrice argues that it’s not actually a huge hit. (Also my 12 year old is inhaling Stranger Things 4 and tells me everyone in middle school is doing the same, which is why he has to hurry up and binge the rest.) https://t.co/k4GFIolQjh — PolitiTweet.org

And if you’re someone who complains that there’s too much stuff to stream? Know that some Big Media execs agree w/you. A Netflix rival exec: “From a consumer experience, things are going to get a little worse. They’ve been enjoying a subsidized + unsustainable amount of choice.” — PolitiTweet.org

The fantasy that more guns/training, and/or or arming teachers/civilians is a better idea than making it harder to buy military grade weapons isn’t a real debate. But if you find yourself in this debate anyway, cite the failures to follow training described in detail below. — PolitiTweet.org
