To quote the brilliant comedian Jim Jefferies:

If I was still watching the show (gave up after season 1) I would no doubt be pirating it now as a result.

Once again, the US studios are underestimating the piracy skills of the international market. They have no idea how much of a pirate life it is outside the US borders. Fans of the show will not wait til 2022, I guarantee that.

“To our international Star Trek: Discovery fans...”

Out of 190 countries, how many of those are friendly to US IP content from which that particular country would help the US prosecute piracy? Like if I got a letter from a Malaysian studio that I was pirating one of their shows and I live in the US? Do you think I would be worried?  

This. I don’t need Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Pokemon, I want a Pokemon game that feels like it’s shaken off its roots as a budget Bameboy title and is now the tentpole of the single highest-grossing entertainment franchise in human history. Legends: Arceus seems like a step in the right direction, but it also…

Personally, I don’t necessarily want Pokemon to be more grown-up, I want it to be more ambitious. They haven’t fundamentally changed in 25 years except to add bells and whistles, and they seem pretty relaxed to stick with it.

So the comedian isn’t making a joke, but the politician is definitely making a joke.

Kathy Griffin is just some comedy actor this is someone in government who has actual power lol

For real.  I heard the wailing about Kathy Griffin for months.  If a prominent Democrat did that, Tucker Carlson would still be shitting blood over it.

Do you have any examples of “death threats that members of the government threw at Trump” or are you just talking out of your ass?

The fact that he used the term “...off the hook” is cringeworthy enough.

Once I learned his entire focus is on being in a virtual world, his detachment and the corporate den of evil makes a whole lot more sense.

That’s the point. A billionaire who is building fantasy worlds instead of working to save the real world should AT THE VERY LEAST be mocked.

We’re all laughing at Zuck’s metaverse...

It doesn’t matter, Gamers™ tend to complain endlessly but almost always give Nintendo a pass. They can downvote a youtube video all they like, but all Nintendo cares about is how many people bought it, a number which I can guarantee is high enough for Nintendo to keep on Nintendo’n.

They got everyone for a year,…

This makes pulling the Mario collection even more cynical. “Let’s make this set of games limited edition so we can stick an inferior version on our buggy online service!” Just, wow.
