    YouTube TV might be about to lose Paramount content.

    Unless YouTube and Paramount come to a last-minute agreement on a new contract, “after February 13, 2025, all Paramount content, including CBS and CBS Sports, will be unavailable on YouTube TV,” according to a YouTube blog post. “If we can’t reach an agreement and their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer subscribers an $8 credit,” YouTube adds.

    Paramount has a website about the potential changes, too.

    Hell is Us launches on September 4th.

    I’m not sure what the... heck... is going on in this new trailer, but I dig the weird and horror-y vibes of the game. It also has no map, which sounds intriguing and hopefully not terrible. It’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC.

    Google is ‘clarifying’ its Calendar holiday changes.

    The company told The Verge last week that it stopped highlighting certain events like Pride and Black History Month and switched to showing public holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com globally in the middle of last year.

    Today, Google posted a similar statement to its own blog with slightly revised wording that avoids saying maintaining hundreds of cultural moments globally “wasn’t scalable or sustainable” and highlights the customizable nature of Calendar.
