Everyone thinks that stand up is so scary because you're up there all alone but it is the least scary thing in the world 'cause no one can disappoint you. Isn't that a little lonely, though?
Happy "Max Headroom Incident" Day to all who celebrate.
On November 22, 1987 television signals in Chicago were interrupted twice by an unknown person in a Max Headroom mask.
(Kids, ask your grandparents about Max Headroom)
The first time, WGN Channel 9's 9 PM news was interrupted for about 17 seconds before WGN's engineers got control of their signal back.
The second time, it was WTTW Channel 11's turn. The PBS station's airing of the classic Doctor Who episode The Horror of Fang Rock was interrupted with the clip above.
Those responsible were never caught and has since become a legendary moment in piracy/hacking.
I’ve caught up on the hacks S3 finale and I am throwing up. I am at the edge of my seat. I am ready to give hannah einbinder an emmy even if I have to rig it myself. Hacks is one of those shows that is smart, sharp, self aware. Not even because *I* Think it is, but because that’s what its evidently pitched itself as and knows itself to be. and the reason why I personally find the finale to be so affecting is because while I was watching this fun comedy about an unlikely duo rooted in internet speak, pop culture references, and a bit of feminist commentary, I became comfortable within that. and then it USED that comfort against me!!! it pulled the rug out from right under with a dark grin, and presented me with one of THE most classic tropes of them all: the mentee becoming the mentor. being told RIGHT under my nose the whole time. and I was too busy laughing at the twitter jokes and hollywood jabs to see it in plain sight. respect. Bravo, hacks. Bravo
Everyone saw that last scene as sexual tension right? Even on the podcast Paul says Deborah is turned on by Ava's behaviour? That's unhinged if they aren't doing anything with that dynamic?
