I can’t stop laughing at Bill Maher convincing a New York Times writer that he’s an erudite intellectual because he watches the History Channel

Even when History Channel actually cared about History and had actual educational programming people still made fun of the people that watched it obsessively as being hopelessly dad-brained. It was never considered intellectual. And it is so much worse now. It's like bragging you watch TLC

Watching the History Channel hasn't been an indicator of intelligence for at least two decades. Which also happens to be the last time anyone paid any attention to what Bill Maher had to say about anything.
