I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm watching CNN coverage of that NYC Homecoming Concert thing in Central Park. Barry Manilow was just interrupted mid-"Mandy" as the concert was "shut down" due to an electrical storm. Now they're not sure if it's coming back or not

alright, the latest ted lasso was cheesy but good. always love to see a confident nate, though that moment he had in the bathroom to build up his confidence was...interesting.

i absolutely love roy kent. he is by far my favorite character on the show. gotta be at the halfway point of the season as it seems like they're bringing things together for the team.
Spoiler: show
my wife thinks ted and rebecca are unknowingly chatting with each other on bantr. anyone else think the show is going this route? i mean, he's made her biscuits every day since he started managing the team. they delivered Christmas gifts together. it makes sense. i also think it'd be a jump-the-shark moment though unless they don't plan on stretching the series out.

Yeah the last Ted was good. My wife and I concur with your spoiler but TV 101 clearly says that they will drag that will they won’t they out till the series finale.
