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

a brawl at an Enya concert would be extremely funny

What would be the wildest concert for a fight to break out at?

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)

I want that jersey btw, i don't care if that's Mandarin for "total pussy"

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

that's so weird - if I'm the (or one of the) Antichrist, then why is my face normal and handsome while his face is ugly and melting? 🤔

What you’re saying is the federal government is ignoring the temporary restraining order that was issued yesterday?

Wonder who’s going to actually do anything about this considering there’s no real mechanism in place to stop this now that the federal government is ignoring the courts openly

I'm demanding a thorough investigation into what happened to Frank Miranda, my constituent who was abducted by masked ICE agents without reason.

This behavior is unacceptable and un-American. It has no place in our state or our country.
