Chilling. Nothing About The Bakken -- September 20, 2021

This looks like a night for music and reading. 

Reading?  Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, translated by JRR Tolkein, with Sellic Spell, edited by his son Christopher Tolkien, c. 2014.

Music? We'll see. We will start with Power of Suggestion.

And then, Top Gun, Anthem:

Apple And Netflix

From The WSJ after the Emmys.

A historic night at the Emmy Awards for AMC and other cable networks roughly a decade ago left the television industry’s old guard questioning its relevance. Now the former insurgents of cable find themselves in the same wilderness. 

Back then, in 2008, it was AMC’s “Mad Men” that became the first basic cable series ever to win the flagship award for outstanding drama series. It was a symbol that the major networks’ long reign over TV culture was ending. 

No broadcaster has won that top prize since. 

The latest changing of the guard became official Sunday at the 73rd Emmy Awards, as streaming platforms swept most of the major awards. 

With Netflix’s first-ever wins for drama series (“The Crown”) and limited series (“The Queen’s Gambit”), the streamer amassed 44 total Emmys, tying a record that CBS has held since 1974. 

Apple TV+ stormed the comedy categories with wins, including best series for “Ted Lasso.”

My iPad Pro: no jack. Don't miss it. In fact, glad I don't have it.

The only iOS products with a jack: the low cost iPad and the iPod Touch, likely to be phased out very, very soon.
