I'm sorry, Sheryl. I agree with Brenda, I know she felt you love.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have glimmer more belief in the will and ability of the American public to stand up to tyranny without our ending up in flat-out war than I did a few days ago. I'll take. it.
Now lets go get Paramount!
I'll sure hate losing NCISs and vintage Magnum and Hawaii 50 if Colbert goes off the air in May, but I will do it, Paramount. DON'T TEST US, PARAMOUNT! If I can give up Star Wars I can give up Star Trek.

I still haven't figured out how to cancel my subscriptions to any of the streamers. I think I might have bundles? I should figure it out and cancel everything on the simple principle that I am paying for way more than I use anyway.

I just got two dollar bills in the mail from Nielsen, asking me to fill out a survey about my tv watching, for $5 more. I am not sure what they’ll ask but I fear the actual answer of “in the past year I’ve watched one women’s soccer game and the Super Bowl, over the air, and on Netflix I’ve watched GBBO and a couple episodes of other shows here and there” would not be a good answer.

Well, exciting to be counted! That seems like a strange process for data collection, but okay I guess

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We did Nielsen for a while, meara. They also want people who don't watch much. A broad sample size.

Our VP of Sales is retiring. It will be interesting to see how they shift around the org chart. No idea what the new CEO might do. At this point I'm just glad I have the option of making withdrawals from my 401k if my job goes away, I am way less anxious than I might be.

Always Anti-fascist!
I had a Nielsen book during a pivotal period for "The Wire"--yet another place where i read articles and think "You're welcome." Proved I was disabled for another quarter. Shocking, right?

OK, I found a Disney+ subscription on my Verizon account and canceled that, and found a hulu account under a different email address and canceled that. Got rid of Paramount while I was on a roll. I actually watch things on HBO, so I’ll keep that, I think. Looks like I already canceled Peacock. Is that all? That might be all.

It's cleansing, really.
I canceled Hulu. I only had it because I got an incredible Black Friday 99c/month special from last year (which was due to expire soon anyway). I'm sure it was long planned, but I can't believe they have the nerve to raise prices at this point. I canceled Netflix when they announced their price increase after already screwing over everyone sharing a subscription (which I paid extra to do).
Given I don't really watch TV shows and 99% of the movies I watch are on Criterion or borrowed from the library, it makes no sense for me to subscribe to many things. I have HBO and Apple+ (for now) through the Math Greek but he canceled Apple+ when they announced price increases recently. We have it until November and I could barely find anything I wanted to watch before losing it.
