Ugh, a lot of them. At least that yellow severed head is a real puppet.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 4:37 PM

It is such a propulsive read.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 4:36 PM

Nope one more break. Four more ads, bringing us to 32 total ads for a gambling app. Plus one for a payday loan app, which I feel spiritually is the same thing.

Final commercial break in the film's 99 minute runtime. We are at 28 gambling app ads. Let's see if that's all.

One hour into a movie on Tubi: twenty (20) ads for gambling apps I can download right now and give them money in exchange for nothing.

Hey thank you!!

If we put on an Orioles game, that’s about the ratio. Plus it’s on the walls and the mound.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:37 PM

It’s worse than I expected.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:34 PM

Half past: eleven ads for gambling apps.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:28 PM

One of the best things about moving to the east coast, no joke.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:17 PM

Quarter past the hour: seven ads for gambling apps.

I don’t know how i can make you believe fish grease will fry But there has got to be a better way than sticking your hand in the damn oil

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 3:01 PM

The only paid platform that isn't showing me the maximum amount of ads at all times is HBO.

The controls are: I don't gamble, and I almost never independently watch sports. I am married to a football (both kinds) and baseball fan.

So far this morning I've read a couple chapters of a book, The Boston Globe, and looked at Instagram. Instagram knows I'm a woman and I didn't see any gambling ads there, I think? I think Tubi was the beginning of it for the day.

Just got to work on writing a film review, five minutes until 11AM on a Sunday. For fun/hell purposes, I'm going to count how many ads I see for a gambling app. The count at this time is four.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:26 PM

shocking

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:22 PM

well if it's anywhere near as original and thought-provoking as his columns, it's sure to sell dozens of copies

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 2:12 PM

This cannot be real.

@megelison.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 10:07 PM

You got it, baby!
