Well, we lost ‘Best in Dough’, the competitive pizza making show, and ‘Best in Snow’, the competitive snow sculpture show, but I have high hopes for ‘Best in Joe’, the competitive coffee brewing show, and ‘Best in Blow’, the competitive cocaine smuggling show.

Kinda wild that they invested so much in Willow and won’t even let it sit in the library for awhile. I can understand not doing another season, but not even letting people get a chance to maybe watch it and see if it picks up anything? I guess there’s just no getting around that it was giant flop.

“Imagine a camera zooming in on a yet another red and shiny human face , crying fat fake tears over yet another dumb exaggerated drama , on, on yet another shitty reality show, forever.”

There are plenty of resorts that are out of reach for 99% or more of the population, and they do just fine. The problem is that not very many of that 1% (or whatever) are interested in a Star Wars resort. 

They’ve altered the deal, pray they don’t alter it any further.

Reality tv really took off during one of the last writer’s strikes (decades ago now). It was management-style evil - you don’t pay writers, and you get “stars” for dirt cheap. No one is at Friends level pay, they’re just nobodies who want to be on tv and for whom actor’s guild minimum is a fortune. Hey, no offense to…

Well, I guess this will be another year I barely watch any shows broadcast on network tv and I’ll just be rewatching my favorite scripted shows again streaming.

See, I said my origami hobby wasn’t a waste of time when I was a kid, Mom! ;-) I jest. My mom was actually super supportive of my paper folding, and I just never had the imagination to see it as anything other than art. This is incredibly cool.

One thing worth looking at is the parallels to the 2000 election; Gore actually publicly conceded based on the media calling Florida for Bush and only rolled it back when he realized the results were worth waiting out and contesting. Similarly, remember in 2020 a big ado was made of Fox News (iirc) calling AZ for…

They don’t really say that, but what they’re doing is giving Succession’s George W. Trump ammo to keep it alive in the court system so that ultimately it gets to SCOTUS level where the Succession version of Clarence Thomas can vote in favor of the candidate for whom his wife works on the transition team. Or, ATN just…

“Jacobs also confirmed that having a central count in Milwaukee does mean that all absentee ballots are processed in one place on one day, making the possibility of a well-placed fire genuinely changing political tides a very real one.”

Well Jesus fucking Christ don’t tell everyone that!  

The actual election and vote counting process is surprisingly durable and effective, despite MAGA Republicans striving to undermine it 

Before I started reading the article, my money was on, “on Twitter.”

Wisconsin state legislature sends its own slate of Republican electors to DC.

I never hated him as much as other people have here, for sure, but he has the pull to support them, and he’s not.

As if people need another reason not to watch Fallon.

I know a lot of people around here don’t like him, but I haven’t heard anything about him treating his staff poorly (unlike another late night host named James).

Not fucking surprising.

I like how the pic up top is in no way the ‘tacos’ that Taco Bell makes.
