Fire is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.
Capitalism is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.
but free market capitalism isn't the solution to everything, just like we don't light everything on fire just because it burns.

Year of the Fire Hose*
this morning I feel like staying home and crying. you know, if you were wondering where I'm at.
At this point in the afternoon I know it's also that I'm hangry & I should eat something but there's also something about the lack of sunlight/S.A.D. + the way the calendar is lining up with expenses + throw in current events and: I am a weird fused ball of angry, tired, depressed & fucking over it.

An autistic woman has reportedly performed a daring feat of extreme bravery by answering “Fine” to the question “How are you?” in a social setting when, in fact, that response does not entirely encapsulate every nuance of the truth.

Could Google, say, offer someone like Colbert a slightly better ad money split and maybe sell ads _specifically_ against a youtube-only "late"* show w/ Colbert instead of random internet ad slop and would that add up to $300,000 to a half mil an episode (between live and replay and clips)

Honestly, IF I WERE GOOGLE I'D TAKE THAT CHANCE. like what are you gonna burn the money on, AI? Hell, Gemini could be the exclusive Colbert sponsor for the first year, at least that $50 Million wouldn't go to waste.

If YouTube were the only place to see it, and not just clips/replays of last night's show but a whole hour to an hour and half of a live show (.and then. the monologue and interviews and musical guests as clips)
What would that be worth, with 4 or 5 million daily viewers.
idk. streaming is weird.

they have 10 months to figure this out. and Stephen could just take early retirement, if he wants it. It would be amazing if we could snatch that production staff and writers room and the show runners and the guest relations folks and save 'em from CBS but it may just be a thing that ran its course
