For those who missed Matt’s reference to “Black Added: Congress”, I asked ChatGPT.
Based on the context of the statement, it appears that Matt Taibbi is saying that his experience testifying before a House Subcommittee was surreal and unexpected. He anticipated serious attacks and was nervous about them, but instead, what he encountered was something unexpected - an episode of “Black Adder: Congress.”
“Black Adder” is a British sitcom that satirizes historical events and figures, and it’s known for its humor and absurdity. So, when Taibbi says “Black Adder: Congress,” he is likely describing the surreal and absurd nature of the hearing, which he may have found amusing or bizarre.
In essence, Taibbi is saying that the hearing didn’t turn out as he expected, and it was more comical and surreal than he could have imagined, like an episode of the satirical comedy show “Black Adder.”
Was it really necessary to post an AI-generated explanation of a completely obvious TV reference? Please don’t post that crap.
Thought I had seen it all until I got my invitation to the Lunatic Ball (My salute to Democrats & their Lunatic Balls). 🤣
