This may be a hot take, but I’ve never been a fan of fireworks. They’re beautiful for a few minutes but the noise can be distressing for pets, wildlife, veterans with PTSD, young children, and many people with sensory sensitivities. I’ll take a great barbecue and good company over fireworks any day.

Ugh even when network TV does something good & is actually adversarial & forceful like it should be, it has to add a caveat so they don’t seem “biased” - in this case “we both acknowledged the complications” of the rain in setting up the interview. What does that fucking mean & who gives a shit?!
