In today's edition of "My local paper has officially shit the bed," Erie Times-News has an entirely empty column above the fold.

Local Erie paper down to only two razor-thin sections. Media is dying in this country.

The Billionaire class is pushing HARD for tipping culture. Why? It will cannibalize any money the working class has as the share of wealth reaches zero. Fuel on the fire. Think about it.

Letting Letterkenny stream in the background while cleaning, playing "is that the end credits music, or the episode's dance/fight/adventure montage?"

Pretty fun.

Used to be they'd throw up a huge Bud logo and say that the music portion was sponsored by them. It was up front. Now, they tuck the advertising into comedy and vice versa. Luck that future.

And now the Host, Shane Gillis, appeared in a Budweiser spot that felt a LOT like a sketch in the middle of the ad break... WTF? Is there no law against this?

Shocked to see @bowenyang.bsky.social and Sarah Sherman starring in a supposedly "funny" commercial for CeraVe DURING SNL. That's shady AF.

People who set up voicemail greetings be like "Congratulations, your phone has connected to mine via a complex combination of technology and infrastructure. Anything you say into the mic of your phone will be recorded after you hear a beep. I will listen to the recording when I can. Fuck you." Duh.

Not Trump nodding off like a doddering fart while the wealthiest man in the universe holds kangaroo court.

OMG Billionaires are parasites, full stop. There is no other way to be that wealthy. Millions? Sure, you could be clever enough. But a billion? You're a cheat.

SNARF: Stakes, Novelty, Anger, Retention, and Fear. The Five Factors on the minds of modern media Editors in Chief. @nytimes.com @pbsnews.bsky.social shame, shame, shame.

While I recognize the resignations as a rebuke for the order to dismiss, this is leaving us with less and less honest lawyers in places of power. This is a war of contrition, and Trump is winning.
