A trip to the $5 DVD bin at your local Best Buy will soon be a thing of the past. The big-box electronics store is reportedly set to phase out Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra HD sales in-store and online. Unfortunately, this means no more of the most incredibly unhinged double features ever put on a single disc. Such news is also a blow for those who still value the tactile nature of a box set, but is unsurprising, as streaming services have increasingly eradicated physical media. 

Interestingly, the looming DVD suspension at Best Buy comes just a few months after Marvel and Disney announced that they would be releasing a collector’s edition of their series WandaVision, complete with a gorgeous steelbook and collectible art. In fact, the only thing the set doesn’t include? Actual discs.  

Pivoting away from physical media sales isn’t the only questionable decision the studios have made recently. Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have come to a screeching halt after the alliance representing the studios and streamers presented the actors with an offer that was “shockingly” low. As the stalemate continues, actors will remain on the picket lines as the union continues to fight for a two percent share of streaming revenue and protections against A.I. 

Thankfully, the weekend is almost here, and we’ve got a new batch of funny tweets to hold us over. Today’s batch include those about the kitchen appliance that demands privacy, the never-ending cycle that is refilling the Brita pitcher and what it takes to know how to cook.
