Also, commercials sound fine. (Of course they do! 😉) The mix of the crowd noise is too loud and sibilant and it overwhelms the announcers. I think it is the sound mix from the source broadcast. The other networks are just better at balancing the sound quality.

All other football broadcasts today (CBS, Fox) were no problem. I also have no issue with streaming or gaming. Just NBC.

The sound quality for NBC Football Night in America is terrible. I can't understand a single word any of them are saying. The crowd noise is so loud the commentators are literally yelling & I still can't hear them. NBC needs to get different sound engineers. FNiA is completely unwatchable.

We're living at the crossroads of Stupid & Evil. Wakefield started a lie, RFK Jr perpetuates it, and the gullible are manipulated by it. What's the next preventable disease to make its comeback?

Of course Lucas likes ai; he has ideas but can't write dialog and is a lousy director of actors. He needs all the help he can get. He's not an artist, he's a marketer.

At least this demonstrates a by-product of free speech: when awful people spew hateful messages, you discover who isn't worth your time. Speech is free, but consequences can be a deep debt, and I hope these players are afforded a quick exit to obscurity.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Well, okay on the double spacing. But I had to come up with something to list so I could play my Oxford comma.

OMG, I was literally just reading an article in the Jan 2026 S&T about EE Barnard & his work at the Lick Observatory. Then @terilynns.bsky.social showed me this post. I remember driving up Mt. Hamilton when we lived in the Bay Area. I have a photo of me next to the telescope. This is heartbreaking.

You are a wide-eyed, Pollyanna fool to think the Republicans will honor any deal. What? Do you think the Republicans "learned their lesson"? You are the Susan Collins of the Democratic Party. But what do you care? You can't be primaried for another five years.
