Getting "Video Not Available" when trying watch video content

Posted about this earlier. I'm getting "Video Not Available" when I select any video.

This issue went away for a couple of hours today and now it is back.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening?

This started after the site came back up from the upgrade, but I have no idea if that's the key detail in terms of causation or if this is coincidental.

Any help or insight will be appreciated.

Throwing stones and glass houses

The reactionary right wing seems to have a truth problem. Not just in terms of the lies they all spew every moment they are conscious, but they seem to have forgotten that truths are stubborn things. They refuse to become untrue.

A few basic truths. Gravity always wins. Kindness is its own reward. Don’t try and catch a falling knife

But my favorite is that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

The rightists are doing some serious stone throwing. Trump is daily proving his mind is gone. And they think it’s a good tactic to claim Biden’s mind is gone?

Y’all just go right on. See how well that works for you.

The Special Counsel's report was a cheap shot

Hur is apparently a grossly partisan hack that couldn't keep his frustration at not being able to charge President Biden from boiling over. So, he went with the current right wing desire to paint Biden as a doddering old man whose failing memory makes him unfit for office.

That's all they've got now because the Republicans can't govern their way out of a paper bag.

A couple of things. The first is that this too shall pass. It'll blow over. Biden is not a feeble, doddering old man.

The second is that we all have issues with remembering exact dates.

I have to look it up every time I want to recall when my sister died. Have two sisters and only one died, but I can't ever remember the year or the month. I know that my mother died the very next year, but the month and the day? So, I have to look up first my eldest sister's obituary and then look up my mother's date of passing.

In reality, my mother passed just a few months after my sister. But those details elude me.

My father's death? Well, that one I can always remember. Because I was there when he passed. It was also just 4 days after my birthday. But something about having been there locked it into my brain and made it easy to recall.

This was the cheapest of cheap shots. I would like to see Biden's staff point out that this kind of naked partisanship is characteristic of the sort of people that Trump gravitated towards. We see it with Judge Cannon and we see it with Hur.

Trump didn't hire the best. Hur underscores that.

You sound like a serious chef

Glad you enjoyed your birthday meal.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

We have a winner. The solution to almost every problem we're currently experiencing in terms of the federal budget is get rid of the Bush and Trump tax cuts. They were grossly irresponsible at the time and, in the case of the Trump tax cuts, were allowed to be considered under reconciliation so they could pass with only 51 votes. They should not have been eligible for reconciliation.

But McConnell was able to co-opt the OMB to issue some very rosy financial predictions that turned out to be complete hogwash. This bill should have been subject to the filibuster, but McConnell, was able to corrupt the process and ram the bill through.

He knew undoing it was going to be a really heavy lift.

As a country we need to raise the tax rates on corporations and the 1%. Anyone that shrieks about the national debt and isn't looking at the revenue side is dishonest and is pursuing a hidden agenda.

Color me unsurprised

I live here. I’m not at all shocked or surprised.

I moved here from Missouri—a slightly less bad dystopian fascist state. So, not a native.

Texas has always been a national joke when it comes to the insane corruption of its politics.

This is more of the same.
