  • Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC

    Jump

  • Well let’s get some data involved then. According to this article from mid last year, The Late Show was averaging ~2.5 million viewers in the Nielsen ratings: https://www.tvinsider.com/1202434/late-night-ratings-2025-gutfeld-kimmel-colbert-fallon/

    Looking through the youtube channel, the average uploaded video over the last couple weeks has ~600,000 views. The biggest one scrolling down was almost 2 weeks ago with 2.5 million views as of now. Of course it’s not all one to one, but assuming no crossover between youtube and TV viewers, this interview would have to hit at least 3-3.5 million views to be more popular than the average segment, and higher than 5 million views to absolutely guarantee that it is more popular than an already popular segment.

    At time of writing the interview has 2.3 million views after 16 hours, almost matching the TV audience for an episode, matching an 11 day popular video, and I’m about to add one more to the count which I normally wouldn’t. You can hold your belief if you want, but I am curious to see how it pans out over the next week or two.

  • I’m sorry, but I don’t follow how their comment on Kamala Harris losing displays a lack of understanding on voting between two candidates.

    My understanding is that in such an elections people either vote for one, the other, or abstain. They vote for one over the other because they either like the one enough or dislike the other enough. They abstain when they don’t feel strongly about either. Does that sound right to you?

    My understanding of what the person you responded to said is essentially that people didn’t like Biden because of his policy and were on track to abstain because they didn’t dislike (or weren’t worried about) Trump enough. Harris wrongly thought people disliked Biden personally but did like his policy, so stayed that course. That led to people not liking her and therefore abstaining while Trump riled up his base that for some reason liked him.

    What am I missing here?

  • Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds

  • I bet there is one for you! The problem is that every person is in a different place with their diet, physical, and mental health, so the one weird trick that works for one person may not work for someone else. It might not even work for the same person later in their life!

    When I was younger my trick was to only eat when I’m hungry. I worked at a pizza place where I could make and eat food whenever it wasn’t busy, so I could eat earlier or later in the day depending on how hungry I was. That doesn’t work as well now that I’m in an office position and have to eat on a regular schedule.

  • There were many decades between the proliferation of home phones and cell phones. During that time many people may be away from home and need to contact someone over the phone. Payphones were installed in public places that anyone could use to meet that need. They took change in exchange for minutes using the phone.

  • It works, I launched a rocket on it. Subjectively it feels 20-30% slower to do stuff than with a mouse and keyboard, but once I cooled down and adjusted to it instead of trying to speed through stuff it was good!

  • Senate Democrats block DHS funding over immigration tactics

    Jump

  • I totally agree, but I think it’s a question of how to go about achieving that overhaul. I think the best method for that right now is to “hijack” the primaries of one of the political parties, get the old guard out, and nominate new candidates that want to see that reform. I don’t see that happening with the Republican party for hopefully obvious reasons, which just leaves the Democrats.

    All the while leading up to midterms, get organized outside the party system, stage protests and strikes advocating for changes to the system. And if it’s clear the midterms are rigged, or the newly elected Democrats fail to push reform, use those same external organizations to tear it all down and probably write a new Constitution (something I didn’t think I’d be advocating for two years ago).

    But right now, the most important thing is getting involved in getting organized and getting involved in the primaries. Here’s a list of dates I found: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/calendar

  • Trump Gives Chilling Answer About Whether He’ll Accept Election Results

  • I find it annoying when a large portion of law enforcement would likely help the federal government interfere with elections and people start nitpicking over exactly how many. If I can offer a simple solution to prevent getting sidetracked like that in the future, I will.

  • See, there you go! Now I can’t point out the one guy that demonstrates an exception if you stated “every person” instead of most! I get that it’s an annoying thing to change, but is it more annoying than having this conversation multiple times?

  • Trump Gives Chilling Answer About Whether He’ll Accept Election Results

    Jump

  • You say every one, someone else says there are exceptions, you say obviously but this is true for most of them, they say yeah that’s fair, and nothing of substance is added to the discussion. Why not skip that whole rigamarole and just start with “the vast majority” or “nearly every one” instead of unnecessarily hyperbolizing?

  • That’s alright, neighbor, makes sense to me. I’ve found my stress move from the anxiety to the numb zone over the past week or two. Sometimes it feels silly to go through the motions of work and life, but just keep on keeping on, find some volunteer opportunities if you haven’t (I can DM you one if you want), and take care of yourself.
