the death of reruns was the death of television.

we talk a lot about why streaming is killing television, but i think one factor that is under-discussed is syndication. there have been some good short-run series, but the majority of our most beloved series had long runs. like, 5+ season runs. runs that hit that sweet 100 episode mark, meaning they qualified for the most lucrative syndication deals. streaming shows are reducing and eliminating the need for such deals because they’re so siloed. instead of making a syndication deal with another station (and paying your creatives fair residuals), streaming services host their shows on their own platforms and instead pay the streaming rights residuals that are nowhere near as fair.

because these streaming networks (both streaming-only, like netflix, and core networks with original content streaming, like cbs and nbc) aren’t selling their shows off-platform, they don’t need to hit any kind of episode landmark to be cost-saving. you can host a show in any increment, so having a 20-episode series is the same as having a 60-episode series. except the 60-episode series, of course, takes longer and costs more to produce. as long as a network makes one season of a show, they get to market it for new viewers. and once they feel they’ve gotten all the new subscribers they will out of a series, they drop it to save money.

until there is some monetary benchmark incentive to get a series past one or two seasons, television as long-form storytelling is dead.

Par for the course these days....

Wordle is running out of words. Only 2,000 five letter words remain. When that supply is exhausted the Creation shall begin. One day the word will be ZHURM, and all shall get it, and all shall understand it to mean "an ache from suddenly remembering a long-ago friend, who meant something to you once, but whose face you can no longer conjure". The next day the word shall be JOROL, and all will get it, and all will know it means "the melancholy confusion of passing by somewhere where you once could have died". The next day it will be GREFT, and all will understand it to be a small brown bird with white streaks found only in South America, and suddenly, it will appear, in the underbrush of the Amazon, in the streets of São Paulo, and all will know that it once was not there, but now, will always be

Sejak weekend kemarin, lagi banyak-banyaknya dengerin cerita orang, sebagiannya minta pendapat. Rasanya? Nano nano.

Siapa aku? Udah paling bener?

Jelas. BELUM! Masih sangat jauh.

Perlahan, kalimat-kalimat dalam chat itu menggelitik, bahkan banyak di antaranya menampar, persis tepat sasaran. Benar-benar untaian cerita itu seperti cermin di hadapanku, tapi aku berperan sebagai yang mengamati kali ini, seolah membelah diri, dan soal waktu yang menjadikan aku berkata layaknya bukan pendosa.

Iyaa, semua pendosa, dan semua sedang berusaha menjadi hamba-Nya yang terbaik.

Terima kasih kamu sekalian, yang mengikuti kata hati untuk berbagi kepada diri ini, yang menjadi perantara Tuhan dalam mengingatkan diri sendiri.

Wordle for bird ID!

A daily game where you get a series of tightly cropped images of a North American bird. You have six guesses before the full image is revealed.

not to uhhh be that person but if you're writing icemav circa whatever-year-you-set Top Gun: Maverick in please please remember those men are old. they don't give a fuck about TikTok. maverick has a private Instagram with nine followers that he only got so he could follow Bradley. His most recent post is of a sunset he took on a bike ride with the caption #WestCoastBestCoast. Ice would have nothing except the public COMPACFLT accounts someone (under thirty-five) in his office runs for him. Their relationship is still reeling from the introduction of Wordle.
