At the start of October, Hulu and YouTube TV dropped Monumental Sports Network from their services. There has been a lot of conjecture about what went down. This is what is really happening.

Who’s to blame for Monumental Sports Network leaving Hulu and YouTube TV?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Caps have ten chances like that and don't score. The Bs get one and it's in. Sometimes I hate hockey. #ALLCAPS

DirecTV streaming works fwiw. Cost was fairly similar to YouTube TV. Not sure about those other options.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Here is my take on how the Metro shakes out this year.

Canes
Caps
Devils
Rangers
Blue Jackets
Islanders
Flyers
Penguins

I don't think the Caps lead the East again but dumping off 20 points in the standings with the exact same team seems unlikely (I have seen people saying wildcard). #ALLCAPS

I would advise you to not come here either but they do have a couple of Toronto shows. I am going to try for Cleveland. I live on the east coast and it's further than New York but hopefully less expensive overall.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Capitals announced they've assigned Ivan Miroshnichenko to Hershey of the AHL.

That gets them down to 24 players on their roster.

It would seem at least one of their defensemen will go on IR to get down to the 23-player roster limit by 5 p.m. ET today.

Since we have two guys injured don't think a decision has to be made right now.

Xaroc @xaroc.bsky.social · 5d

Definitely. With both Mac and Roy hurt they didn't have to make that decision yet.

I turned down an interview with a data harvesting company once I knew what they did. I do government contracting and have for a while. I would absolutely not work for some agencies.
