This is the way to more episodes of The Mandalorian. And more Baby Yoda adorableness, of course.

Goodbye CBS All Access, Hello Paramount+

Just as CBS All Access was finally getting good, ViacomCBS announced today it will rebrand the whole thing as Paramount+ in early 2021.

An internal memo…

Your Weather App Is Selling You Out

While I think we can all agree that every app on our phone is probably an invasive little shit, I’d argue that weather apps deserve their own little corner in hell.
