I'm just gonna copy/paste Tycho's entire blog post here, too.

I've never until now heard of TV (as in, you know, fucking traditional-ass, normal-ass television) referred to as "Linear TV." And I kind of wish that I never did. I don't even watch regular TV on anything even vaguely approaching a consistent basis anymore, because regular TV generally sucks ass (due in no small part to all the interminable commercials, same as it always has been, pretty much from the very advent of "normal-ass TV"), but this still makes me feel old as fuck. Like, just that the Kids These Days™ apparently had to come up with a new term for "TV" because they just don't get it? Or something?

Well no, it seems that this term has been around since at least 2015, based on the date of that article, except that even in that very article it is said that the term has been around for "quite a while," with other references dating back to at least as early as January 1995, when I'd have been a... second semester sophomore in high school, if I'm doing the math right on that. So I guess it's less the Kids These Days™ and more the Kids Those Days Almost Three Decades Ago™. And yet, I still somehow remained blissfully unaware of the term "Linear TV" for "TV" until now.

Moreover, however, the fact that the mind of Gabe's son apparently just went immediately to "just like a video game" when confronted with the seemingly alien concept of a "TV commercial" is just... ...ugh.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Fuck fucking fuckity fuck the fucking actual fuck.

"All The Freaks Who Want To Be The Next Trump – SOME MORE NEWS"

"Hi. It's Republican primary debate season! Ungghhhh.......... sfhkjsahvj...
Anyway, here's a look at some of the giant weirdos who think they can beat Trump and BE Trump and not inspire their political party to want to hang them."

(Warning: this video features not just one Warmbo, but two Warmbos. *weary sigh* And yet, either or both of those Warmbos literally would still make a better POTUS than any of the supposed humans discussed in this video.)

Truly, the fact that anyone would even want to be "the next Trump" is just depressingly mind-boggling (and also mind-bogglingly depressing) to me.

Yeah, keep right on riding that Trump Train, you disingenuous ghouls. Honestly, I hadn't even heard of half of these assclowns before watching that video, and now I'm just kind of almost wishing that I hadn't watched the video so that I could have continued on with my life without having heard of those assclowns. When Chris fucking Christie[1], of all people, is apparently the """""best""""" of that whole bunch, that just demonstrates how egregiously shitty and terrible that whole bunch is.

Also, I just have to say that "The end result of decades of dog whistling finally calling the dog," has to be one of the most succinct and apropos descriptions of the GQP, of Donald Trump, and of Trump's effect on the GQP that I've heard in a while.

[1] - I.e. Chris goddamned Christie, the man whose pretty much only redeeming virtue whatsoever is the fact that he is apparently the only candidate with a willingness to unequivocally denounce Trump for the con man, charlatan, and blatant, brazen criminal that Trump most certainly is (out here in objective reality, at least), unlike all the rest of those intolerably ludicrous shitbirds. And yet, as the video helpfully points out, Christie is still a raging dog turd in far too many other ways.
