It's unfortunate that almost nothing is said about an actual, intentional criminal also on trial in NY. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/07/politics/bob-menendez-bribery-trial/index.html

Oh, yeah, well half of the fun is hiding the other stuff.

This better not be about me.

Also, 1 Hour 45 Minutes! You are a video making monster.

My limited attention span will only allow for one minute chunks. Thanks a lot, TikTok

Haha, don't watch the whole thing. It's a f***ing movie, with GTA footage unedited, in the middle. Thanks for checking it out, and no, not you specifically. Just a general thing: There are more than enough insults to find about the man, lol.

Sorry, bad joke! hahaha

Convicted Felon would probably get me more job interviews than telling people about my library degree. They'd create a "special diversion program" for me.

I may just watch it. After you watch BSG! Was just looking for a way to squeeze that in there.

Luckily, I first have to follow the link for the prequel series/etc., and only then to do I have to go to the library. And haha, never underestimate being perceived as bland. The more exciting things that happen, the more you wish it was a movie.

Yeah, actually, I watched the whole video today and last night, and it is anything but concise. More a life story thing, but screw it.

I'll let you know what I think about the before-the-show material very soon . . .

So far interesting! I’m gonna watch it in chunks tho. Also, is that the Vice City Ray Liotta GTa? I’m getting them all jumbled. I got GTA V but am too lazy to play it often… but back in the day I played them all the time, at the height of gta 1 moral outrage phase

It’s Michael from V, but he looks a lot like Tommy Verceti, now that you mention it (and sounds like him, and acts like him, if a little older). I have never gotten that far in that game, but the video in the video is of me unknowingly jumping off a cliff and landing at the psychiatrist’s house, to automatically start a mission.
