And there’s a bonus: listening to @pkafka read ads about corporate tax compliance - a topic nobody who has ever known Peter would associate with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Five episodes in, the podcast “Land of the Giants: The Netflix Effect” continues to be fascinating. ⁦@pkafka⁩ and ⁦@ranimolla⁩ have done a terrific job in helping listeners understand ⁦@netflix in a really engaging way⁩. Listen to it! https://t.co/b2bKbt6OnK — PolitiTweet.org

@jpmistretta @hbomax We also watched this. We really liked it. — PolitiTweet.org

@patricknward @reckless Sorry. I obviously meant racist. I must have been thinking of the sexual harassment charges and investigation they’re facing. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@MasaSonCap @edmundlee @hbomax @HBO @ATT I know. But they have the impression this was somehow going to magically happen automatically. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @verge Oh, I never suggested that. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@edmundlee @hbomax @HBO @ATT After nothing changed on my Apple TV on launch day, I manually canceled cable HBO (and, it turned out, a bunch of unwatched channels in some premium tier). Then, I installed @hbomax on the Apple TV and subscribed. I actually saved $, gained programs, & lost no @HBO shows. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@edmundlee The content-for-price advantage that streaming @hbomax has over regular cable @HBO and the older streaming versions is so big that only @ATT’s awful handling of the launch can explain the small numbers. They made it really confusing to get MAX if you already had any form of HBO. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless Becky’s review is concise and accurate. Why is she not doing all @verge reviews? — PolitiTweet.org

@cspan @AOC Tremendous speech. Strong, clear, but amazingly calm. She never calls him a name, but still demolishes him and every man like him. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@zachjourno Tremendous speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@racheld @AOC @RepTedYoho Tremendous speech. She is amazing. — PolitiTweet.org

@carolmcc13 I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless If you’d ever had lunch with the owner (I did once) you wouldn’t be surprised at this ridiculous, fan-hostile, move by the Washington NFL team. I gather it’s temporary, but how hard can it be to clear trademarks and commission a logo for a non-sexist name? — PolitiTweet.org

This is historic for a team that was owned for decades by a racist who was the last owner to hire a Black player. (For the unfamiliar, the Mass. Pike is the main highway running through Boston and west across the whole state. The sign will be widely seen.) — PolitiTweet.org

@BryFitz Listening to Linda Ronstadt is generally good for the soul. And @donal888 is definitely right that she chose her touring and studio bands with great care and taste - famously including early on Glenn Frey & Don Henley, who went on to form The Eagles with her encouragement. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’ve never seen #SixFeetUnder, or are ready to watch it again 15 years after it ended, I highly recommend it. We just finished it & loved the brilliant finale. It was excellent and addictive over its entire 5 seasons. We watched 2-4 episodes a sitting, on @hbomax. https://t.co/fJpM6avvfx — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@ddiamond Yes! The @NewsLitProject has, been teaching kids to distinguish between fact and fiction, to understand the role of journalism, and all about the First Amendment. We now do it digitally, in classrooms in every state and over 100 foreign countries. See https://t.co/Ddp6fSKRXo. — PolitiTweet.org

@katzish American capitalism has its flaws, but one of its benefits is that you can vote with your dollars. That’s not “cancel culture”. It’s exercising choice in a free market. For decades, I’ve shunned some brands for periods of time due to their leaders’ views or corporate policies. — PolitiTweet.org

@mauryisl @BenMullin @KatyTurNBC @WSJ Happened to me plenty. But the situation is much worse now, with online platforms stripping the context away. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@BenMullin @KatyTurNBC Yes! In the decades that I worked at @WSJ , there was a genuine separation between the news pages and the editorial page, but readers constantly made it clear to me they didn’t know that. The line must be clearer. — PolitiTweet.org
