   Universal Pictures radically trimmed a bunch of trees outside of their Los Angeles studios that happened to shade the sidewalk where #WGA and #SAGAFTRA were picketing. They were perhaps not legally allowed to touch said trees. #TreeLaw

   Over at NBC, also part of Universal, sidewalks have been dug out all around the property, allegedly for repairs but no one digs out three blocks of sidewalks all at once for repairs. This has hampered but not stopped the picketing. /1

     Both of the striking unions have been clear to consumers that there are no boycotts. They want us to continue going to movies and they do not want us to cancel our subscription to streaming services.

     Yesterday subscribers to #Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streamer, received a notice of an immediate 20% premium hike across all tiers. This will inevitably lead to subscription cancellations which NBCUniversal can point to as proof that streaming revenues are both unpredictable and declining. /2

     @amaditalks I heard that Wm Gibson's The Peripheral show (based on his books that is) was cancelled though it was a success, along with another successful show, in order to punish the WGA and SAG. True?
