@blkMYmorris @ScottMadin And 'exclusive streaming home' to all previous content. Exclusive suggests they'll take down everything currently on YouTube or the Sesame St website. That's the issue. It's 50 years of public access television made specifically for low income kids being put behind a paywall.

@MauriceFF @MauriceBenard @MaxGail I wish they hadn't shoehorned in the 'moved the body' storyline. It doesn't need added drama. It was a beautifully moving plot point that really allowed them to flex their acting chops and focus on an important issue.

@TK_Aspy @dropoutninja Saying someone has lost weight as a compliment suggests that there was something uncomplimentary about their body before. Not everyone values weight loss/gain as a positive thing, and for some it's incredibly negative.

In Leeds I not only could ask for the usual, but they started making it for me as soon as I walked in, kept my loyalty card behind the counter because I kept losing it, and more than once gave me breakfast on good faith when I forgot my purse. I've never felt so loved.
