Netflix’s new site is a giant “f*ck you” to Comcast and Time Warner

Netflix launched a site late Wednesday night called Fast.com, where — in one click — anyone browsing the internet can see how fast their internet speed is. Although it’s great for consumers, some internet providers might not be happy about the new website.

Netflix didn’t invent that it’s been around

Netflix didn’t invent speed checks, but this site is Netflix’s.

Okay, so here’s why Netflix speedtest is so brilliant. 

Most of us know about Speedtest.net, right? Well Comcast and Time Warner know about it too. They know customers use it to check to see if they’re getting what they are paying for. Comcast techs even tell customers to check their speed with Speedtest.net. 

So, to make sure people think they are getting good speeds, Comcast and Time Warner prioritize traffic going to Speedtest.net. When you check your speed there it’s artificially inflated. That is NOT the speed you are getting when you browse tumblr and that is definitely not the speed you get when you watch Netflix. 

Comcast and Time Warner can not artificially inflate the results by prioritizing traffic to Fast.net unless they also prioritize traffic to Netflix, and they definitely do not want to do that.

Rob Mcelhenney invites Aniya Wolf, a lesbian teenager who was not allowed into her prom for wearing a suit, to star in an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 

“I’ve just always been like this, ever since I was little,” Wolf said. “I was always more masculine. You wouldn’t catch me playing with any Barbie dolls, I’ll tell you that right now.”

President Obama issues historic declaration for transgender bathroom rights in schools

The White House is expected to issue a sweeping guidance Friday to the nation’s public schools mandating they take immediate steps to allow students to use whichever bathroom they feel best corresponds to their gender identity. If school districts refuse, they could face real consequences.

Update: It just got better. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has ruled that ACA health care providers must provide coverage — including medical services related to gender reassignment — to transgender individuals. This news, like this morning’s declaration, is pretty damn groundbreaking.
