It's even worse than it appears.

I totally despised White Lotus through the first four episodes, but having so much invested in it, and the hook in the first episode, got me to watch the last two episodes, which were actually pretty good except for one bit that I saw coming and averted my eyes it was so disgusting. And you know the way they left it there's definitely going to be a season 2. #
1984 may not have been like 1984, but 2021 sure is. #

TV interview tech sucks#
  • You know what Zuck should work on, getting a network together for people who are interviewed on TV, so the quality gets a huge upgrade, and make the UI dead simple. I can't believe none of the big tech companies see this opportunity. The quality is uniformly awful.#
  • No one knows if people want to sit in virtual reality conference rooms, but we know for sure that TV is built around a new way of discussion, and there's no prospect for this changing. So someone ought to capitalize on the vacuum.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
