The Waves: It’s Not TV. It’s a Sh*tshow.

On this week’s episode of The Waves, the streaming wars have come

done Batgirl, and has been quietly removing content from its
streaming service as it prepares to merge with Discovery+. Allegra
and Inkoo talk about how streaming services reducing their content
offering likely spells trouble for non-white, non-male
voices.  In Slate Plus, is Batman feminist?
