Bubble, bubble, no toil or trouble

In the name of fighting harassment, Twitter is going to make it even easier for you to not hear opinions from people you disagree with.

Considering how the media works nowadays, I'm shocked that the headline for this article wasn't, "Trump threatens 11-year-old girl"

From a surprisingly positive article about President Trump in The Atlantic:

Last July, King took his 11-year-old granddaughter to the White House to watch Trump sign a health-care bill for the first responders to the September 11 terrorist attacks. After the ceremony, Trump scribbled his spiky signature on the speech he had just delivered; gave it to the girl; “put on this angry, stern look; and said, If I find this on eBay tonight, I’m coming after you,” King recalled.

It’s no accident that Twitter has “twit” as part of it’s name

Of course, after today there will be one fewer twit on Twitter because I’ve decided to redirect my snark back to where it belongs: here.

I’m back baby.

Everyone I listen to is dead

I was listening to my Spotify playlist this morning when I realized that everyone on it was dead:
Johhny Cash
Tom Petty
Elvis
Dolores O’riordan

So either my taste in music is ancient. Or I am.
