at what point do we begin harassing news outlets about not covering these things that would have been weeks of coverage under a Democratic president

the kicker, whose missed extra point potentially costs them the game, is given a chance at redemption etc etc

...you think I don't know that?

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 9:05 PM

OK so if you had linear TV and you turned the channel from ESPNEWS to ESPN anywhere between 10:45 left in the fourth quarter to 8:31 left, you saw the whole game. the issue is mostly that they stopped airing it without notice on ESPNEWS

maybe it's what they mean, maybe not! if that's what they meant then it'd be a much much more effective message to just say that!

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 7:12 PM

that they have completely incoherent voting patterns and base their voting, or at least claim to base their voting, on TV ads, quite possibly the worst source of information about candidates that exists, i.e. you have an extremely un/misinformed electorate and why are they that way

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 6:36 PM

pretty cool IMO

And here’s a bookshop link for that one, which i also highly recommend. bookshop.org/p/books/one-...

it's so weird! i swear they just did a focus group "do you want to vote for a candidate who would (check box)" and "protect healthcare" got the most votes and now we have every democrat saying this thing that does not resonate in any way

anyway jags game was so narratively perfect it's literally the plot of numerous YA football books I read as a kid (read the one by @dirtbagqueer.rocks too)

when you have one story in mind and you're driven to draw conclusions based on data it's all too easy to completely miss the actual story even when the subjects flat-out tell you what it is and that it makes your data meaningless

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 5:51 PM

i just can't get over the hosiery choice

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 5:50 PM

she has a popular instagram! I'm mostly surprised somebody this well known isn't somebody I was already familiar with https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZAtmmlgrt6/

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 5:42 PM

all i'm trying to do is fix a neighborhood post on FB and i'm met with this ad, apparently the real estate business has changed

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 3:10 PM

jags what are you even doing

@bubbaprog.xyzOct 11, 2026, 2:22 PM

"dressed in the skin suit"? who talks like that? "dressed up like" or "wearing the clothes of" is the metaphor, who the fuck is talking about "skin suits" except absolute psychopaths!?
