I mean it really is the height of audacity to interrupt a game like that when nothing even happened to the Epstein loving fucker

I usually don't get bent out of shape when the flow of treats is disrupted, but for some reason this actually did get under my skin; I think it's the brazen delusional self-regard of it all and the way the media just plays along as if we're all just one big happy community genuinely concerned for a fuckin pedophile war criminal. It gave me the same feeling when a noxious and intrusive ad decides to insult your intelligence when you were doing something important like decompressing after work

"He didn't even die" is killing me

The shooter didn't even make it into the same room as the USA president... I really don't see a problem with these tweets.

the control media companies have over live sports events is bananas.

im not a sports guy, so i was able to "cut the cord" before that was even a phrase. but if you look at the demos of people who still pay for cable subscriptions, it's guys who watch the shit out of live sports events.

a few huge streaming companies have managed to negotiate some rights and i think amazon has been aggressive, but it's still a cluster fuck of local market blackouts, pay per view, and "season passes" or going to somebody's house or a bar that "has the game".

and many still get all the TV ad breaks and bullshit "sponsored by crypto & pampers" pseudo commentary, the constant ads overlayed during the game. it's an insane user experience to witness, objectively.

and then some non event interrupts some shit they are gambling on (because remember, online sports gambling is backstopping all this) to say nothing happened.

and remember, because their access to the live feed is so tightly controlled, they often lack the ability or even potential to be watching on some direct/uninterrupted feed not subject to the parent company's desire to gin up controversy for some national non-event.

watching that old guy in a clip keep eating during the hoopla captured the real vibe so much more than all the c-list celebs and influencers trying to have their "i almost got shot in my tuxedo" moment taking crouched down selfie clips and hoping to sell the footage to some outlet and jumpstart their career as a brave culture war correspondent.

I actually totally agree with this take. Nothing happened which viewers should be immediately informed of lol.

I hope Trump sees this, think about how sad it would make him.

I'll never understand the sports watching thing but i can also understand not wanting whatever you're watching to be interrupted with unrelated bullshit

They were reading an article in the new chapo ep where the reporter (and a few others) went from the dinner to a bar down the street where "they used to have at least one TV on CNN all the time, but it's all hockey and nobody was even aware of what's going on just up the street"

They asked the staff to turn one of the TVs to the news, which they did till the manager had it changed back to the game cause they have a policy against having politics/news on the TV lol

I do find it a bit surprising for that to be the case in literal DC, but also not surprised that nobody gives a fuck because you [mainstream journalists] have spent over a decade being totally useless

The fact they showed it is a strange way to admit that the secret service hasn't been getting enough of a run for their money

To be fair I would also be annoyed if someone stopped my Hasan Stream to tell me Merz got shot at (and worst of didnt die)

unlimited reeducation on all sports fans.
