found a debit card on the street and spent 10 mins on the phone w/dude’s bank in order to adequately convey that. customer service was like

“And you’re SURE that it’s Bank X?”

“Yes I’m calling you using the number on the card.”

“And the last name is Barngas?”

“No. Vargas. w/a V. An actual name.”

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

my favorite type of Comedy Fan are the guys who try to pinpoint which celebrity looks the most like some obscure politics character so that they could best portray them in an SNL cold open

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 4d

GOV. WHITMER: “.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”

i have signed hundreds of NDAs for paltry sums of money but it’s fine because i just do a big exaggerated wink anytime somebody guesses the thing I’m not supposed to disclose

I think much of the bingeing novelty wore off for good during Covid people were like “we can wait another week for this we are not that busy we live on the computer sure but there are 100 shows” then the industry struggled to adjust for almost half a decade now

Mike O. @mikeodenthal.bsky.social · 4d

I really think that many people watching an entire season of a critically acclaimed buzz-heavy show only for their entire family and friend group to be like “wow never heard of it” has left the industry frantic to find a new ER (trying it now!) and Friends (good luck)

Mike O. @mikeodenthal.bsky.social · 4d

I think the success where nostalgia is concerned is on a talented creator/team who are mining what worked for them and competently tailoring it to an atomized audience who yearn to not be the only person who’s heard of the one show they like.

Mike O. @mikeodenthal.bsky.social · 4d

not negating that there’s a lane for mid shows and agree we could use multiple lanes for multiple types of programs again (I think that the specific success of high potential, Abbott elementary, and the Pitt def speak to a clamoring for what used to be just “watching television”)

Mike O. @mikeodenthal.bsky.social · 4d

they put a v fun tv star into a tv show built for normies and wow look what worked

Mike O. @mikeodenthal.bsky.social · 4d

my controversial take is that high potential is a mediocre show using a trusted format but with the perfect star who should have won an Emmy years ago and it’s mainly the latter part that has leveled it up

Shane Anderson 🏳️‍🌈 @shaneanderson.bsky.social · 4d

Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

High potentioal breaks a ratings record.

A picture is worth 1000 words and to help illustrate these illustrious critters. We’re adding even more art to the book. Courtesy of the singularly talented Randy Milholland not only will you get to see an all new array of abominable animals you’ll also be able to feast your eyes on some beautiful scenes with hosts and callers galore and even a conspiracy board keeper or two.”

An image depicting, a humanoid creature made out of rotting vegetable matter. The text says “ my next stretch goa is… $10,000… The Cryptid foundation. To show our gratitude for the amount of support we’ve received to reach an incredible $10,000. We’ll be creating a fund called the Cryptid foundation which will allow us to help financially support other indie game designers to bring their dreams to life.”
