  1. And Margie Robbie is kind of attractive.
  2. But is there anyone, anywhere still left with the power to investigate those questions and actually do something useful with the answers?
  3. But, hey, at least they escaped the liberal, woke hellscape of [checks notes] Texas.
  4. I'll believe that when I see it. Officially going "against" Israel by cutting off their weapon supply and limiting our support is still political suicide, and this administration sure as shit aren't going to be the ones to buck the trend.
  5. Bouncing around the streaming world with mini-seasons and multi-episode specials made it almost impossible to figure out when/where to watch the new stuff and if there even were going to be traditional "seasons" moving forward. Then the world because exceedingly difficult/depressing to satire. But releasing this essentially the day after signing a massive contract from the network that's most notably bending over for Trump is definitely going to garner some cultural relevance.
  6. It's 2025, and the pinnace of right-leaning comedy is still "this woman kind of looks like (or might be??) a man" and "this guy looks or acts 'gay'." Truly just remarkable wit.
  7. Welp, I guess we're going to learn quickly if free speech still gets to be a thing.
  8. The lesson there is "be cautiously skeptical of all your media sources" not "find someone entertaining who you agree with on YouTube and believe whatever they tell you."

    South Park

    Well, it's been a good 20+ years since we've had congressmen and talking heads up in arms about the harm that South Park is doing to children. I suppose we were due. Maybe Matt and Trey will finally get an invite to a Congressional hearing.
  10. No one's "mad" at you. I just feel like I'm getting told how widespread something is by Helobious explaining how many "top commenters" on Reddit are responding.
  11. If this is "some of the funniest shit you have ever seen" then, for the sake of the gene pool, please do not reproduce.
  12. No one here would have had the slightest clue about this "controversy" had you not started this thread. Please stop giving instigating morons extra clicks and views.
  13. Thanks for the reminder that we should all try to recognize and phase out the anonymous rage bots the algorithm tries to prop up and send our direction.
  14. Yeah, man, if you think you're coming off any better on the this thread than the most deranged, obsessive, annoying, "piece of shit" cloak room posters, I've got some news for you.
  15. I particularly like that they had to very blatantly CGI a golf ball slowly rolling towards the hole on a chip shot. I mean, no possible way to recreate that with practical effects.
  16. Oh good. Just in time. People still definitely care about this story.
  17. I'd argue that CEOs getting caught red-handed in a hilarious, unstaged fashion has more staying power than white trash reality stars doing white trash reality star things. To your point though, no one is going to care who these two people are in a year (they barely care now), but that freeze frame isn't going anywhere.
  18. I understand this is a fun story for you for obvious reasons, but at least try to be honest about it. You keep throwing around a 1M viewer reach like it's gospel. Colbert's monologue at the beginning of every show pretty consistently gets 2-4M views on YouTube. I imagine a decent amount more through Paramount+ and Hulu. Every other late night show--including ones on Fox News--would absolutely kill for those numbers. People watching shows live hasn't been the be all end all in years. The format is dying (no one gives a shit about stock celebrity interviews anymore) through no fault of his own, and this was inevitable (though likely sped up be certain external factors), but he'll land on his feet in two seconds. Not my cup of tea--I've found him to be too safe and non-controversial since leaving Comedy Central--but he's obviously still incredibly popular.
  19. As a cultural zeitgeist, not as some piece of television mastery.
  20. Yeah. It's a real hoot.
  21. Yeah, really hard to imagine a worse sport to translate to a low effort All-Star game than WNBA basketball.
  22. Yuuup. The guilt has crept it's way in, and I feel entirely powerless. No clue how to actually help. I think we were all holding out hope that the judicial branch would put up something resembling a fight. I feel like Colin Firth's character in Conspiracy. Sure, I'm ultimately a piece of shit with no power standing by while heinous things happen to keep myself out of the target reticle...but I feel really, really bad about it. Now we're just waiting until November '26 in the hope that having the majority of Congress critters shift ever so slightly will be able to stop people from being disappeared?
  23. The internet has been the cause and unfortunate solution to a vast majority of isolation and loneliness. Bro (probably) wouldn't have found dozens of like-minded, sympathetic conspiracists in a bowling league.
