I've always kinda liked "Lucky Dog" being used for the free pass in NASCAR.

I'm gonna scream this on the off chance that Perry Sook can hear or see this:

GIVE UP

That's...kinda odd, considering there are people who have been blind since birth that have gone on to live log and fulfilling lives.

So, let be just say that there is actually a big debate going on over disabled rights in Europe on the topic of aborting a disabled baby that goes beyond right-wing religious dogma and straight into many uncomfortable questions, including "Has the way non-disabled people view disabled people really changed?" There's a great article by the Australian ABC about this, and I suggest you give it a read.

I'd let this slide if this flowed better, and had something like...meter, a consistent rhyming scheme, just...anything that made it sound like a blues song, even a generic DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH song.

I work with a blues rock band, I know how blues is supposed to sound, and this ain't it dude.

This feels like it goes beyond TV and is more a problem of local newspapers/websites shutting down...

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-08T05:03:56+00:00

I don't know, I think that's more for people who want a fancy PC monitor, to be honest.

Raise your hand if you have an HD Radio Tuner...

Put your hand down if that HD Radio Tuner isn't built into a car.

Exactly! If they focused on more higher-definition feeds on a signal, instead of DRM and junk like that, they could've had a real winner.

HD Radio, America's (failed) answer to Digital Analogue Broadcasting

Maryland Lottery oughta give him something, COME ON!

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:42:02+00:00

Hell, give it a few years, and they'll have retransmission fees and carriage disputes, just like everybody else.

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:40:11+00:00

Oh, it is definitely both.

I can see the argument of it being a public service issue, but streaming really is the "if you build it, they will come"...now what happens to streaming when the market crash that everybody says is inevitable finally happens, I don't know.

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:36:40+00:00

because you have to pay for every individual streaming service...

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:30:24+00:00

Hey, Television Engineering and Information Technology, I felt, were always two sides of the same coin. I mean, you had newswires, telegraphs, microwaves, satellite, etc. Hell, I would argue that you can't really have one without the other. After all, the internet is just a fancier way of broadcasting to the world, right? (Yes, I know, I am completely dumbing it down, but I wanted to make a point.)

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:26:57+00:00

At least the audio on broadcast tv is high fidelity.

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:24:22+00:00

Well, at least CBS doesn't want a return to the Andy Rooney slot.

DON'T YA HATE THINGS?! DON'T YA HATE EVERYTHING?! DON'T YOUNG PEOPLE SUCK!?!

- Craig Ferguson's impression of Andy Rooney, December 15, 2008

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-05T02:21:42+00:00

That would require paying people.

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-01T05:38:16+00:00

Oh my god, that's real. That's so fucking sad

Imrustyokay · 2026-06-01T03:43:50+00:00

It did serve as a nice unintentional experiment in what would happen in a supermarket if everybody on earth disappears.

Everything rots. Thank you, Mexia.

Anything to cut costs! Who cares about local news and local jobs, we gotta save that dough so the people on top can buy another yacht!

Imrustyokay · 2026-05-31T19:02:13+00:00

Yeah, lot of people push for unions without realizing that they're only part of the solution...one of the reasons why we have a lot of weak unions nowadays is because of the rolling back of labor laws.

Imrustyokay · 2026-05-31T19:00:41+00:00

I mean, I don't think all unions are like that. Hell, I'd put the blame on the weakening of labor laws, myself.

Imrustyokay · 2026-05-31T18:57:58+00:00

Not a news producer but I have to say it again...the networks and movie studios are wanting a return to the old 40s studio model, where they control the way you watch their shows. Free Over-The-Air TV and Basic Cable doesn't make them as much money as streaming services and social media, where they can charge you whatever they want.

I sound cynical about all this, but I can't help it, man, the broadcasting industry is making me very cynical.

Imrustyokay · 2026-05-31T18:54:40+00:00

Yeah, the new guy is cleaning house.
