A non-alcoholic toast to everyone who's keeping sane in the US right now. I don't know how you do it! Your news cycles are "Homer losing his last hairs from stress" batty.
(And another to those who *aren't* keeping sane, because honestly, who on Earth could blame you for going nuts in this media economy?)
@MLClark It's really just the return of yellow journalism. But you know that. There's not much difference between William Randolph Hearst and Rupert Murdoch.
Sure there is! 😅 One of them has more letters than the other, and they're in a different order!
Gotta love how many armchair experts we have among us! Last year, I think one of my favourite rapid transitions was how everyone became a submarine engineer in the middle of the Titan incident, and then within a few weeks, suddenly became munitions experts around the 2023 Crimean Bridge explosion.
And now everyone's an armchair neurologist! 🙃 How talented we all are!
@MLClark Fun fact. An astronaut I used to work with was on the board of directors for OceanGate. He and his wife went on Titan two months before it was lost.
When I heard Titan was lost, my first thought was if he was aboard. 😥
@WordsmithFL @MLClark That fact does not sound "fun".
@MLClark I was really worried until they released the list of passengers.
@MLClark I used to have a colleague who claimed #Biden was senile based on a video she saw on the Sky News Australia website. I said, "You do know it's owned by the same guy who owns Fox News?" No, she didn't know, and got very mad when I burst her bubble. The friendship ended soon after.
