Hopeful moves

Israel has finally started letting a few aid trucks into Gaza, but it's a pitiful amount and at the same time they want to launch another devastating war offensive. At least the UK is suspending trade talks with Israel and calling out the intolerable humanitaran crisis. The UK also recently made a deal with the EU. Can the both of them force Israel to end the war? Just cut out the US, which has not helped at all and has backed Israel too many times. Sounds like Canada is joining with Europe to criticize Israel's actions too. I hope there can be both peace and justice, but peace would be a good start.

Meanwhile Netflix made a deal with PBS to save Sesame Street. So many people complained that the show wouldn't be available free anymore, ignoring the fact that PBS would continue airing the show, and even get new episodes on the same day as Netflix. This is much better than the HBO deal. It's sad that Sesame Workshop need corporate money at all, but this way at least the show continues, and past seasons are available. I think I heard that Sesame Workshop unionized too.

I boycotted Netflix over Dave Chappelle and other anti-trans content, but this is a good thing for Netflix to do. So when Knives Out 3 comes out this year (if it doesn't show in movie theaters) I will sign up at that time to watch that movie, the Black Barbie documentary, and anything else on my list that people have raved about on Netflix, like that White House whodunit show. If Netflix doesn't piss me off again, I may keep my subscription going a month or so. But I have to be careful of my budget and too many monthly subscriptions.

For now I watched some more episodes of Poker Face, and the alligator one was an annoying farce. So weird, then Peacock sneakily switched me to another show called Long Bright River which I watched for far too long before realizing it wasn't Poker Face. I hope other episodes this season will be better. I think they are building to some kind of plot twist on the "Good Buddy" guy on the radio. We'll see if it's any better than previous mob plots.
