I can’t tell if this is real or satire
I thought surely it must be satire, but this was legitimately posted on his Facebook account. I have no words. I guess we're trying to bring back Byzantium now
Thank you for checking so I didn’t have to
Have you thought of the Roman Empire already today?
Hadn’t until now. I almost forgot.
They'll have to re-record that song.

US's writers have gotten really lazy since season 240 or so. It's like they turned the whole show over to a Poe's Law bot. I keep hoping for something good...there's interesting fan fic, but they never seem to follow up.
I did the dirty but couldn't find it. I need a deep cleanse now.
Somehow it’s real… Edit (I had linked the actual post but deleted it to not drive traffic to that shit)
