Just finished Deadwood! Damn, it REALLY sucks that it got cancelled. The ending is just so… meh. Which is a shame, because the last few episodes are AMAZING. Everything seems up in the air, just this amazing “thrown off your square”-ness and then the last episode comes and… Alma sells her mine and Hearst leaves town. Wu and Hawkeye both come through with supply a force to counter the Pinkertons and just.. nothing.

Even as a *season* finale it’s a bit of a letdown tbh. I know not everything needs a big climatic shootout, but still. Woulda been cool.

Thank god for the movie! I’ve heard it’s solid, I’m looking forward to it.

I liked the new HBO documentary mini-series "Telemarketers" a lot. It's a great example of how to center a story on exploited and/or marginalized people rather than the rich & powerful. It's funny, infuriating, and ultimately heartwarming. I did not expect it to be as compelling as it was.

🥥 I'm currently REALLY enjoying the MAX -- formerly #HBO -- series "#FullCircle."
Lots of my favorite actors in the cast and some that are new to me who steal the show.
It's a police-procedural dramedy with a twisty plot, plenty of complications, a whip-smart woman Postal Service Inspector, and the droll AF #JimGaffigan as a US Postal Inspector supervisor.
Everybody in this series has something to hide, and it's a roller coaster ride to see how the plot unfolds. 🥥

#Disney Plus & #Hulu are becoming too expensive! I have canceled the former & paused payments on the latter.

I will stick with #Netflix, #Apple TV & #HBO (I think it's called #Max now‽), the latter which I receive free courtesy of #ATT (it's a perk to justify their expensive plans).

So based on the above, if you want to watch #HBO content on your iOS device and use Voiceover, do not download the #Max app yet. I can't say how long the transition will last and will let you use the old app.

They could have used many other strategies to verify you as a user (including email verification, phone verification, or no verification at all). They deliberately added an unnecessary barrier to the signin process for #blind people. It's utterly Ridiculous.

Well, y'all, #HBO's rebranding is going really nicely for #blind people. The iOS app presents a perfectly useless CAPTCHA dialog after entering your email and password. The only way that the dialog box can be made accessible is by using screen recognition. Then you get to identify an animal sound from three options and type in your choice. Once the audio plays, the entry screen disappears, meaning you can't enter the number.

It's like they didn't bother to test this with anyone

What you did in the '90s with cable?

I occasionally watch Bill Maher (ironically more on Youtube than HBO), & I discovered this interview of Elon Musk by Bill Maher which I found to be oddly fascinating.

Although I abhor his personality, Elon Musk has contributed towards the betterment of humanity due to the various companies he owns (whether through starting them like SpaceX or taking over like he did with Tesla).

Tesla helped popularize electric vehicles, while SpaceX is popularizing reusable rockets (the latter is helping reduce the cost of space flight too).

Bill Maher surprisingly did not push back against Elon Musk’s false claims about Twitter promoting free speech on the microblogging site, as Musk has repeatedly censored links to rival services like Mastodon & Substack, as well as banned users for promoting rival services too.

Overall, it was a decent interview, & whether you like or loathe Elon Musk (or Bill Maher), watching this episode was very informative.
