omg, those "transitions"! so not only are you missing live play to see 2-3 replays of a flippin' jump shot, but that's followed by a graphics transition that (inexplicably) lasts an additional 5 seconds!

if they do that during the reg season i'm going to start asking them to refund individual games

In my (always) humble opinion, the BlazerVision broadcast was a total mess. Every single time we scored a field-goal, they would show 2-3 replays while the ball was still LIVE. Lost count of how many defensive possessions went completely unfilmed. I almost drove to Moda just to yell at someone. 🙇‍♂️

she's only "pro-democracy" to the extent that Maduro is anti-democracy

uh, that dude is about 93 million miles away from being able to credibly gague other people's relative sincerety (which was also super obvious and not unrelated to why he was dogpiled)

huh. based on that screenshot, it looks like she'll have 50/50-odds of making it to election day without dying of natural causes

this episode was an incredible service. there are a whole lot of us out there who desperately want to make fun of Ben Shapiro's shitty writing, but don't want to actually subject ourselves to it ❤️

I do love a request, doing a little Portland frog (first concept not yet final!)

Portland Frog is "Not The Hero We Deserve But The Hero We Need" and lives in Portland City of Heroes.

it seems pretty obvious that dude doesn't work with kids. based on his profile pic, it seems far likelier he isn't allowed within 500 yards of a school.

the bit about how metrics interact with the mayor's office to basically ruin everything is, I believe, still accurate

the only people talking about #3 are RW ops guys and...your co-workers, apparently

bro, if you hated yourself the appropriate amount, you'd find that typing is quite impossible

can we make 'presumption of irregularity' a thing yet?

(I will also delete this later as this is not a "call-out", but rather the fastest way to let you know as we don't know one another)

This is really quite bad. NSO has 0-touch spyware (meaning they have the capability of infecting a remote device without you, the user, clicking on anything), and their clients have used this on journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

NSO's spokesperson said the group "has invested tens of millions of dollars in the company and has acquired controlling ownership," but declined to say who is behind the investment.
