"Upload time"? TV execs wonder why piracy of tv shows is so rampant (hint: it has something to do with pirated streaming sites having 720p streams up within ~3 minutes of airing finishing). Want to compete with illegal service providers? Try providing a better service than them and you know, not wait a whole day (or even a minute) for no reason at all to upload episodes of shows. There's no reason at all that services like HBOGo shouldn't have episodes available as soon a they begin airing. If you prefer people to watch on TV because of increased ad revenue, just have increased ads if someone is watching at the same time it's airing on TV. Jesus Christ, it's not hard.

I can see it being a combination of CDN screwiness combined with the relatively short time between "filming concludes" and "episode airs". If nothing else, there's a lot less time between the two than there is with Game of Thrones.

The intended reason is so more people will watch the show live, resulting in increased ad revenue (because more ads are shown and are "unskippable" during live broadcast)

...on HBO.

I know income inequality and how impossible it is to discuss is a serious problem, but I'm still stuck on the fact that a man literally named "Harding" didn't use that when naming his penis.

I really hope his extended segment this Sunday is on what's happening in Ferguson. It fits the qualifier of "barely noticed by MSM"! *weeps*

No new episode tonight. :(

But they are putting up a Youtube vid as a consolation. I wonder what happened.

They went on vacation for a couple of weeks, apparently.

Here's the video, by the way:

The Jeanette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund (one of the three groups that John Oliver mentioned towards the end of the Miss America segment) has taken the time to send out personal, physical thank-you cards to everyone who donated in the wake of the episode.

In case anyone wasn't paying attention to the credits for that episode: yes, they were entirely serious about the new addition.

That's quite impressive! You not only managed to not read the thread, you couldn't even bother reading the actual post you quoted carefully enough to realize that DoggPickle is a woman before stomping in and calling her "dickless" and "fagget"! Why even bother posting at that point?

If you ask me, the two of them deserve each other.

I remember hearing a while ago that some GG guys were begging John Oliver to cover their crusade. So Twitter's going to be hilarious over the next 24 hours and possibly a few days beyond that.

Between that and the inevitable Scalia descent on Obergefell v. Hodges, I'm wondering if I'm going to need to find an antidote for schadenfreude poisoning.

I love the term SJW because as soon as someone uses it as some sort of insult or whatever I instantly know how worthless their opinion is really cuts out a lot of guesswork.

So basically, "SJW" as pejorative is the linguistic equivalent of the Confederate flag?

As I understand it, the two of them work together on the videos. And I'm pretty sure Anita'd take the blame for anything that gets said regardless even if all she did was make sure the camera didn't spontaneously explode.

It's been like that ever since "politician" became something you do your entire life. Ancient Greek democracy was basically something you did as a side job before you went back to your normal life, kind of like jury duty. Somehow we took that idea and figured the best thing to do with it was create a class of people who spend their entire lives as politicians. Then those people have kids and those kids become politicians themselves.

Politics is out of touch with reality because the only people politicians ever meet are other politicians.

I'm guessing you missed the joke.

Whenever this question comes up, I always think back to that Crossfire interview Jon did back in... gently caress, 2004? And his response to this exact criticism, "You're on CNN! The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."

That interview is, I'm pretty sure, the only reason that anyone still remembers that Crank Yankers ever existed. And I'm including the people who worked on the show in that "anyone".

I love musicals but I generally don't like rap/hiphop and it took me a few songs to warm up to it, but now it's awesome.

That was almost literally the exact reaction of my father -- a 60-something white guy. So yeah, just because you're not a fan of the specific music genre that it's largely associated with doesn't mean you'll dislike Hamilton.

If you enjoyed the discussion about scientific reporting and accuracy then you could do a lot worse than get involved with your local skeptics group where we talk about this poo poo all the time.

Yeah, but then you have to meet the kind of people who get involved in any sort of organized skepticism. And that can be kind of a crapshoot.
