Netflix taking another page from the YouTube formula:

It is adding videos from BuzzFeed, Conde Nast, Hearst and Penske Media.

Get ready for lots of Bon Appetit cooking videos on Netflix.

Here are five Netflix hits that lost a lot of their audience between seasons 1 and 2.

Some had long breaks. Some came back right away.

There is no simple explanation.

So by suspending the “red card” they are admitting without admitting, that the decision was absolutely wrong (which we knew). But to do this 24 hours before the game is quite a thing and will create a stir in Belgium no doubt. Right outcome, wrong process.

Four supposedly smart people who can’t comprehend the phenomenon of mail-in ballots.

Would be easy to laugh off if it didn’t suggest growing belief in unfounded election conspiracies
