Your premise is flawed. Zero agreement on issues?

Either capitalists or communists? Religion?

Since it can’t be serious, I’m assuming this entire OP is trolling. But some folks might believe you anyway.

You are setting the bar really high there, are you going to want folks to start using facts too? If I think it’s true then not only have I not lied, it is my fact, according to some people…

Do you feel better now? Perhaps a shooting range with live targets of the above might bring down your blood pressure? What about those who don’t fit into any of these categories? Can they be members of that political party or do they have to pick one or more categories to join?

Actually, after watching the anti-Letlow and anti-Fleming ads for the past several weeks, how are any Rs happy? Seems both are secret supporters of former President Obama. Or were those parodies?

Conservatives are way behind in the game and kind of clumsy in trying to catch up.


This is a blatant lie. If you don’t know better, do not assume this assertion is correct. Conservatives have been planning and executing a decades long takeover of the courts. When Bill Clinton was President nearly all of his judicial nominations never were given a hearing in committee. I’m thinking thirty years ago was not part of this mythical “catching up” you espouse.

And for those claiming Justice Barrett is left wing, do us all a favor and stop opining on things where you have no knowledge.

For anybody that downvotes this, enlighten yourself first before doing so and show me where I am wrong with facts.
She seems reasonable and totally in control in this terrifying and triggering situation. Is she also one of those women who believes all “p in v sex is rape?”
Yes, I believe the only poll which never has gone lower than 40% in the past four months. It is The Truth obviously, not an outlier.

I also believe the democrats were dumb enough to steal the 2020 election for Biden, but forgot to steal enough congressional and senate seats while they were at it.

Lastly, I believe our commander-in-chief is playing 9-D chess when he succinctly explains the choice in the mid-term elections is “suffer or die” if democrats are elected. All hail Trump!
They still have the CWS when LSU doesn’t make it??!! Is it on a channel or streaming somewhere? I always thought it was just local college baseball programming in June.

And thank you for sharing! It was highly informative.

Now for those who downvoted this, are you: a) excited about safety being fourth as a priority for railway companies, b) major stockholders in those companies, or c) solidly comfortable that anything John Oliver says is never to be believed?

I'd be really close to cancelling "The Office" after the first season and I know I am not the only one. Two weeks after release of a show on Netflix does seem like a fairly short amount of time but Netflix has plenty of studio content to burn.


I remember the first season of The Office as well, and I agree 100%. I didn’t attempt to list all shows which were strangled in the cradle, I haven’t even finished The Boroughs, it was a contemporary example, that’s all.

I suppose it’s a lack of understanding the economics of that industry on my part. Another area where I more clearly see what I don’t know.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

Canceling shows-lightning fast

Posted by casualobserver on 6/19/26 at 11:40 pm
I am truly amazed how quickly streaming services cancel (or decline to renew for another season) after the first season or two. In reading about The Boroughs on Netflix, by the 16th day after release, it was not picked up for season 2. What is going on? Can this situation improve?

I know there was a mention of the Duffer Brothers’ move to Paramount being a factor, but this was known well before its release. So for those who start watching after day 16, do we just hope it ended the first season without too many cliffhangers and was somewhat satisfying at the end?

I remember hearing about a show from a streaming service which was supposed to be good, and finally watching it online. When the second season ended, I looked to see when season three was coming out. It was not to be. I know this has always occurred with network shows, but even then there was a small chance fan interest would trigger another season. Star Trek, with its many spin-offs and movies, was not supposed to be on the air for its second season. Fan uproar made the difference. More recently, other services have picked up canceled network shows such as Arrested Development and Designated Survivor.

So, is there anything to do about this or is it the new paradigm we have to live with? Do audiences matter if a show is slow to catch on?

So after this remark prefacing his message, you still think everyone needs to know what a MoU is for their regular lives? News flash: very few people already know what it means. And it’s not dependent on where they fall on the political spectrum.


Now, do more people know this now compared to a month ago? Of course. Does that make it common knowledge as you imply? Not at all.

I was going to downvote but I thought about it some more and it makes sense. No matter how excited our President would get about our “progress,” this was aging like curdled milk in the fridge.
quote:

SFPLC's beloved corporate media did such a great job of exposing all of this.


Actually, I’m waiting for anybody to expose “all of this,” whatever it is. Like actual proof, a strange concept rarely used. Instead we have Stephen Miller saying a bad thing happened and a former VP caused it. Huge leap in logic without evidence. Maybe it’s true, but if so, can you fill in the massive blanks?

Can we use that for both parties/leaders? Like gas prices rose because of the Iran war, which we started with Israel? I don’t think that’s a controversial belief on this board.

My daughter just asked me “why do we live in Baton Rouge?”


You didn’t want to tell her you are in the federal witness protection program?
I know it was a long time ago, but forgive me for asking why I thought this had more to do with Ukraine than Russia. I know they’re both in Eastern Europe but last time I checked, they are different enough to be engaged in a war against each other.

But if this is inconvenient, please go on about Russia.

Fantastic deep dive, and if anybody steps back, a tribute to the brilliance of Vince Gilligan to make so many of us fans of a drug kingpin, and others despise him with the strength of a thousand suns. That’s the real story.
