So WBD and Comcast after all this work vertically integrating for "synergies" or some such bull that was so awesome are now spinning off their cable channels (and their debt) for "value" or some such bull that is now even more awesome than when they did the opposite.

#Comcast turns out it feels good when you call to cancel service and they ask you whether you're cancelling because of the service desk or technical issues to just repeatedly and kindly tell them that the problem is the greedy MBA-toting bastards in upper management and demand that they put that as the reason for cancelling.

I can only imagine what the "customer stated" field reads like.

Comcast attempts to intimidate me into taking down a blog post

Comcast sent me two intimidating letters and a bogus DMCA takedown notice in a misguided effort to get me to take down content they didn't like because it has Comcast executive email addresses in it.

#Comcast didn't get a court order to support the #DMCA request they sent Linode regarding my blog post, because it was entirely bogus and they knew it. They were just hoping I either didn't know my rights or wouldn't take the time to file a counter-notice.
Well, I did, and the required waiting period has elapsed, so I've republished the post they tried to bully me into taking down.
Here it is, in case you want to remind them about the #StreisandEffect:

‘A true free-speech emergency’: alarm over Trump’s ‘chilling’ attacks on media

The Trump administration is waging a 🆘disturbing attack on the freedom of the press
that amounts to a
🔥“true free-speech emergency”, media experts have warned,
as the Federal Communications Commission recently launched an #investigation into a series of media organizations, including the owner of NBC News.
The FCC, led by Donald Trump appointee and Project 2025 author #Brendan #Carr, has ordered
💥investigations into #NPR and #PBS in the first month since Trump took office,
while also scrutinizing a #CBS News interview and a San Francisco radio station.
In a letter to #Comcast, which owns NBC News, Carr said he had asked the FCC’s enforcement bureau to “open an investigation” into the corporation, stating:
“I am concerned that Comcast and NBCUniversal may be promoting invidious forms of #DEI in a manner that does not comply with FCC regulations.”

The support folks at Linode / Akamai kindly gave me a brief tutorial on how to handle a bogus #DMCA takedown notice. They aren't allowed to decide themselves that the notice is bogus. I have to unpublish the blog posting and then file a counter-notice with Linode (which I've now done), which they then send to the complainant. Then I can republish the blog posting in 2 weeks if I haven't been served with a lawsuit by then.
#Comcast sucks ass for wasting my time like this.

For the record:
* They emailed me the same request again on January 1, 2025. I once again told them to pound sand.
* This morning they escalated by filing a #DMCA takedown request with #Linode, my hosting provider. Email addresses can't be copyrighted, so the request is totally bogus. Linode forwarded it to me and demanded that I take action rather than reading it carefully enough to determine that it's bogus. I just wrote back to them and told them it is. We'll see what happens.
