The utility of social media is over and until then you should trust nothing and consider it a weapon and a drug.
I think the ultimate end of all of this is capturing Donald Trump and pinning him down and having men ejaculate onto his face for about four or five days.
I am not suggesting that I am simply saying that the technologists have run simulations that suggest this might actually be what happens.

I wasn't looking for life lessons, and I thought against caring about turning 50. I just didn't think it was on my radar.
This weekend, I happen to be in my birthplace with my mother that has dementia. I am at a half century mark where I am fully aware of it will not be another half century.

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

Really too perfect that Dokoupil's smug lecture at the end of this broadcast about trusting audiences to hear the news and decide for themselves was delivered *in the very act* of choosing to cover up a newsworthy legal threat made by the president about the interview the audience had just watched.

It’s been one blunder after another during the early days of the Tony Dokoupil era at ‘CBS Evening News.’ From night one, the broadcast has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, and low-key humiliation by President Trump.
