Iframe

Crickette. You have some heavy stuff you’re carrying around with you and so do I. So do we all. Matt’s a calypso-cat drummer and I’m blind to myself. J-Sean heaved in too much helium to sing good and Pep and Dave are worshipping donuts in the river where the current is strong. I wish jellyfish could swim in the air. Maybe if they could swim in the air then he’d love you like you imagined him. Maybe we’d all get what we saw at night. Probably not. Well at least its easier to carry heavy things around with all six of us. Six broken hearts are like one good heart. I guess its fine if jellyfish can’t swim in the air or that Kingfishers can’t fly underwater. Probably best to keep eating our daily bread and try to make today into some kind of dream.

re: #2 Charles Johnson

It’s because Netflix and on-demand has been eating away at Sesame Workshop and PBS:

The letters of the day on “Sesame Street” are H, B and O.

Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit group behind the children’s television program, has struck a deal with HBO, the premium cable network, that will bring the next five seasons of “Sesame Street” to HBO and its streaming outlets starting this fall.

The partnership will allow Sesame Workshop to significantly increase its production of “Sesame Street” episodes and other new programming. The group will produce 35 new “Sesame Street” episodes a year, up from the 18 it produces now. Sesame Workshop also will create a spinoff series based on the “Sesame Street” Muppets and another new educational series for children.

After nine months of programming exclusively on HBO, the shows also will be available free on PBS, its home for the last 45 years. “Sesame Street” will also continue its run on PBS this fall, with the season featuring a selection of episodes from the last several seasons edited in new ways.

[…]

Sesame’s partnership with HBO comes at a critical time for the children’s television group. Historically, less than 10 percent of the funding for “Sesame Street” episodes came from PBS, with the rest financed through licensing revenue, such as DVD sales. Sesame’s business has struggled in recent years because of the rapid rise of streaming and on-demand viewing and the sharp decline in licensing income. About two-thirds of children now watch “Sesame Street” on demand and do not tune in to PBS to watch the show.

PBS was not able to make up the difference, so Sesame was forced to cut back on the number of episodes it produced and the creation of other new material.

Jeffrey D. Dunn, chief executive of Sesame Workshop, said that the partnership with HBO would allow the group to continue to produce “Sesame Street” and to further its mission to help educate children.

“The partnership is really a great thing for kids,” Mr. Dunn said. “We’re getting revenues we otherwise would not have gotten, and with this we can do even more content for kids.”

For HBO, the partnership provides the network with prestigious and popular television programming for both its traditional television network and its new stand-alone streaming service HBO Now, which is aimed at people who do not have or do not want cable TV subscriptions. In addition to the new series, HBO licensed more than 150 library episodes of “Sesame Street.” It also licensed about 50 past episodes of “Pinky Dinky Doo” and “The Electric Company” from Sesame Workshop.

Steve Crowder thinks that Lowe’s should have refused to sell the customer the appliance, just like he thinks a “Christian bakery” should have the right to not sell a cake to a gay.

A more appropriate analogy would be a customer coming into a bakery and insisting
I DON’T WANT THIS CAKE DECORATED BY A BLACK/GAY/HISPANIC/GINGER EMPLOYEE!!!1!!!!!

I”m not even sure there’s that level of thinking there. He goes on about how not catering to the customers’ racism is discrimination:

“Lowes management weighed their options. Sell a product to a racist…or discriminate against the racist and don’t sell a product to the racist, who will buy the product elsewhere, while she still remains a racist.”

Which is nonsensical.

Kid A  Aug 13, 2015 • 4:57:30pm

Ben the Butcher, in 2007, on the individual mandate:

“And what we really, in my opinion, should be looking for are ways to […] reduce the cost to a level where people can afford their own health care. And then, very much like they do in Scandinavia, it would not then be unreasonable to require that people own healthcare insurance.”
