As annoying as the "social media site (fill in the blank) is a bubble" is, I'm still flabbergasted at times at the take machine that is the joint couple Facebook account.

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.

Totally get why folks are promoting "but nothing" days, not just the issues that might be part of capitalism, but I'm also just annoyed at the monotony of the shopping mall experience.

They have enough of those "SNL 50" bumpers, and I'm gonna wait just in case they break out a "TV Fun house" cartoon.

Fun how they can put a double entendre or three in the Lawrence Welk sketch when the first show would never. #SNL50

This is not easy. Too many people have no firsthand experience with: Ravages of childhood diseases Summer days with thick air pollution Rivers on fire with industrial waste I remember Kepone poisoning the James River. In Pennsylvania? Google "Donora smog". Republicans want us to go back there.

Me, a mid-40e guy watching the first SNL last night: Cool, a piece of television history. Hypothetically watching this as a 40-something in 1975: George Carlin didn't burn anything down, the music was good, but what was up with that guy who was singing along to "Mighty Mouse"?

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"
