Thousands Of Minks Die Of Coronavirus On Utah Fur Farms

Roughly 8,000 minks have died of Covid-19 on Utah ranches since last week, likely after the animals caught the virus from workers, but the fur from the infected dead animals will still be processed for use in garments according to the mink farming group Fur Commission USA. What do you think?

Who knew the fur industry had a dark side?


Chrisopher Villagran

Probably a fun change of pace from being gassed to death.

Facebook Bans QAnon

Facebook announced it will ban groups, pages, and accounts associated with QAnon, a conspiracy theory the company says is responsible for coordinated disinformation campaigns and whose followers believe high-profile Democrats are members of a cabal of pedophiles that Donald Trump is secretly fighting. What do you think?

And yet they'll allow me to spread disinformation about how great I'm doing?


Stan Demkowicz

Facebook Bans QAnon

That's exactly what Facebook wants you to believe.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say agents in Chicago seized 15,000 counterfeit Viagra tablets valued at more than $1 million, which were en route from Istanbul to a residence in Michigan this past weekend. What do you think?

People wouldn't be forced to support the illegal drug trade if we simply legalized Viagra.


Harold Pangrazio

Geez, our country doesn't even make its own counterfeit Viagra anymore?


Daniel Perpich

Oh well, looks like it's back to rubber bands.

Mike Pence, Kamala Harris Go Head To Head In Vice Presidential Debate

Mike Pence and Kamala Harris met last night in Utah for the vice presidential debate, which featured the candidates seated and separated by plexiglass barriers days after an outbreak of coronavirus at the White House. What do you think?

I had it on mute but everyone looked great.


Cody Richardson

What's the point of these debates? I already cast my vote for president four years ago.


Todd Bernal

They both made some good arguments, but I don't see why I should marry either one of them.

Tasmanian Devils Reintroduced To Australian Mainland

Conservationists are reintroducing Tasmanian devils to the Australian mainland nearly 3,000 years after the carnivorous marsupials were essentially wiped out by dingoes, humans, and severe dry weather. What do you think?

Cool, they're at the top of my list of animals I want to get attacked by.


Rebecca Fletcher

I hope they have steps in place to help them readjust to life on the outside.


Andrew Tresan

If I know Tasmanian devils the way I think I do, they're probably gonna blow this opportunity immediately.

FBI Charges 6 In Violent Plot To Kidnap Michigan Governor

The FBI has charged 6 men for plotting to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government, while state authorities say they have charged 7 other men in connection to the case who sought to ignite a civil war. What do you think?

Sounds like Governor Whitmer has 13 voters to win over before reelection.


Josh Dengel

What part of 'stand back and stand by' did these idiots not understand?


Nate Settlemire

They shouldn't feel too bad, no one overthrows the government on their first try.

JPMorgan Chase Pledges $30 Billion To Address Racial Wealth Inequality

JPMorgan Chase has pledged to spend $30 billion over the next five years to help close the racial wealth gap through home loans, affordable housing units, and business loans for Black and Latinx clients, though the company has for years faced allegations of discrimination by both employees and customers. What do you think?

And just think how much JPMorgan Chase will earn back in interest!


Diego Jones

This pledge is so generous that I see no need to ever check back if it actually happens.


Bryan Maltese

Jaime Harrison Sets $57 Million Senate Fundraising Record

Democrat Jaime Harrison has set a new senate campaign fundraising record, bringing in $57 million in donations this quarter in the race against South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham and beating the previous $38 million record held by Beto O'Rourke. What do you think?


Krissy Abada

What a relief, now I don't have to bother voting.


Patrick Cornwell

Is he taking that as a lump sum or as an annuity?

Paris Hilton Leads Protest To Shut Down Utah Boarding School

Reality star Paris Hilton is calling for the closure of Provo Canyon School, a reformatory boarding school in Utah where she and hundreds of other former students including tattoo artist Kat Von D and Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, say they were physically, mentally, and emotionally abused. What do you think?

This is going to make for an awkward edition of the Provo Canyon alumni newsletter.


Shad Gorman

I guess even the happiest and most well-adjusted public figures harbor trauma.


Jana Alvarez

It's shocking that in 2020 things like Utah still exist.


Joey Osman

Historic Number Of LGBTQ Candidates To Appear On November Ballots

The LGBTQ Victory Fund reports that more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer candidates ran for public office this year than ever before, with 576 candidates up for election this November, a 33% increase from 2018. What do you think?

As long as a candidate is attractive, who cares about their sexual orientation?


Maria Carini

I'm not sure this country is ready for a bisexual water reclamation supervisor.


Bill Allard

Rick Santorum must be rolling in his grave right now.


Wes Rafferty

Covid-19 Fears Causing Americans To Stockpile Again

A recent poll finds that roughly half of Americans are preparing to stockpile groceries and other essentials like toilet paper this fall due to fears that cold weather will bring a new surge of coronavirus cases. What do you think?

Oh good, I missed out on panic-buying in March.


Louise Pendleton

I'm willing to buy as many boxes of fusilli as it takes to defeat this virus.


Robert Binzer

Wow, I can't believe the coronavirus is already back.


Ross Kniest

U.S. Joins 7 Other Countries In Signing Artemis Accord For Moon Exploration

NASA announced that the United States along with seven other nations have signed the Artemis Accords, an international agreement to standardize lunar exploration and promote scientific cooperation, though China and Russia are not involved. What do you think?

Countries that decline to sign better be prepared to fight the moon alone if it ever attacks them.


Adam Kosman

Why did we even bother planting a flag on the moon if we're not going to keep other countries off our turf?


Nadine Clark

Stranded Tourist Given Special Permission To Visit Closed Machu Picchu

Peru's Ministry of Culture granted Jesse Katayama, a tourist from Japan who has been stranded in the country since March, special permission to visit Machu Picchu this weekend before he returns home, making him the only visitor to the World Heritage site in seven months. What do you think?

Makes you wonder what he could have gotten if he had held out a few more months.


Steven Fong

I've heard visiting Machu Picchu isn't worth it in October.


Hannah Degnan

WWII Bomb Explodes During Disposal Operation

Polish authorities say a recently discovered 12,000-pound earthquake bomb dropped during World War II was accidentally detonated during an attempt to diffuse it on Wednesday, sending up a large plume of water but otherwise causing no injuries or damage. What do you think?

It's got to be embarrassing for a bomb to wait that long to explode and still end up not killing anyone.


Rob Bunting

Well, bombs are usually harmless unless they feel threatened.


John Sturley

Hopefully any lingering enemies got the message.


Fiona Lind

Dunkin' Releases Ghost Pepper Donut For Halloween

Coffee and donut chain Dunkin' has unveiled a spicy strawberry, cayenne, and ghost pepper donut for Halloween that will be sold through December. What do you think?

Ugh, this is such an obvious promotional stunt.


Kevin Skerry

Dunkin's finally realizing that Americans want a donut that hurts going down.


Chuck Fouracre

And if I buy one, they have to let me use their bathroom then, right?

Federal Authorities Investigating Second Jetpack Sighting Over Los Angeles

For the second time in six weeks, commercial airline pilots have reported seeing a person in a jetpack flying near Los Angeles International Airport at altitudes reaching 6,000 feet, prompting investigations by both the FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration. What do you think?

Oh, the FAA never lets anyone have any fun in the airspace around a major international airport.


Benji Douglas

I'm sure whoever it is has a perfectly badass explanation.


Zoe Perkins

Sorry to say, but if they've been up there for six weeks, they're probably dead.


Melissa Stunt

Ikea Introduces Buyback Program In 27 Countries

Swedish retailer Ikea has announced a new buyback program where customers can receive store credit for their used furniture in an effort to fight overconsumption, though Ikea stores in the United States will not be participating. What do you think?

This does seem a lot easier than making better furniture.


Tim Prestage

Buyback schemes like this only inflate the price of Flärdfull without helping the workers.


Clark Rodier

How much will they give me for a big pile of Allen wrenches?


Tim Heffelfinger

States See Record-Breaking Turnout For Early Voting

Over 26 million Americans have already cast ballots for the 2020 election, more than six times the number that voted by this time in 2016, which experts say is driven by voter enthusiasm as well as concerns about the pandemic and mail-in voting. What do you think?

Inspiring to see so many Americans absolutely scared to death.


Bernadette Stern

I'll probably wait until the rush dies down after Election Day.


Kieran Smith

Wow, it feels like voting season starts earlier every year.


Jordan Briley

Zoo Awards Child Lifetime Membership For Helping Catch Lemur Thief

Five-year-old James Trinh has been awarded a lifetime membership to the San Francisco Zoo after he alerted his teacher to a ring-tailed lemur running across the school playground, leading to the animal's recapture and the arrest of the man suspected of abducting it from the zoo days before. What do you think?

Perhaps the thief only stole that lemur to feed his hungry family.


Chelsea Moss

What good is a zoo membership when you've already seen the lemur?


Jon Denizard

Does that little shithead have any idea how much lemurs go for on the black market?


Carol Hyslop

TSA Screens Over 1 Million Passengers For First Time Since March

TSA screened over one million airline passengers on Sunday, the highest single day total since the pandemic began in March, though air travel overall is down 48% compared to a year ago. What do you think?

Well, either I fly during a pandemic or my drink vouchers expire.


Blake de Sena

After months of lockdowns, it's nice to be inconvenienced in a normal way again.


Robert Lipson

I hope they at least opened up a second line.


Jackie Sherman

Archaeologists Discover Enormous Cat Figure At Nazca Lines Site

Archaeologists in Peru have discovered the 121-foot-long figure of a cat etched into a hillside within the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nazca Lines, a collection of lines and geoglyphs made by ancient people that spans over 174 square miles. What do you think?

These ancient societies were so close to discovering Garfield, but they collapsed before it could happen.


Kurt Slepian

I can't believe ancient people would vandalize a World Heritage Site like that.


David Jaffe

They can learn a lot more about it if it's microchipped.


Sue Perdikis

NASA Spacecraft Collects Sample From Asteroid

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft approached the asteroid Bennu and used a robotic arm to collect a sample from its surface on Tuesday, marking the second time humans have made contact with an asteroid. What do you think?

Hopefully the asteroid is able to learn a little something about us, too.


Ted Barbosa

It's really unwise of NASA to keep provoking asteroids like this.


Aiden James

If all NASA wanted was a rock, I could've hooked them up for way cheaper.


Gerald Hartis

Sesame Street Releases Educational Podcast For Children

The Sesame Street Podcast with Foley & Friends debuted last week, with 15-minute episodes that focus on school-readiness skills for preschoolers and include recurring segments like Elmo's Joke of the Day and a game show. What do you think?

I'm getting really tired of podcasts like this that are just celebs joking around with their buds.


Jason Turow

Sounds like a great thing for kids to listen to while watching TV.


Heather Robinson

Why are we making podcasts for kids when I'm the one who's bored?

Fast & Furious' Franchise To End After 11th Movie

The Fast & Furious movie franchise will officially end after the 10th and 11th films, bringing to a close the action series that has generated $5.7 billion worldwide since it began in 2001. What do you think?

Yeah, they probably got tired of making billions of dollars.


Chet Capra

Hopefully, none of the cars get pigeonholed as only being able to do action movies.


Rodney Lott

Do you have to have seen a car before to understand the new ones?


Patrick Myrin

Average Overdraft Fees Reach Record High

According to a study from the personal finance company Bankrate, the average overdraft fee in the U.S. this year is $33.47, an $0.11 increase from 2019 and the highest level on record. What do you think?

We should just be grateful that banks allow us to access our money at all.


Simone Korda

Overdraft fees are a small price to pay for terrible customer service.


Reese Anderson

Well, I'm not a big fan of fees, but I do like seeing records broken.


Cal Ortiz

Researchers Discover New Organ In Human Head

Scientists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have found a previously unknown set of salivary glands that sit behind the nose and help moisten the upper throat, a discovery they say was made accidentally while examining a new kind of cancer imaging technology. What do you think?

Wow, so we have six organs? That's crazy.


Laurel Altmeyer

I'd always wondered what the head was for.


Ed Rosa

It's incredible all the things we still don't know about the backs of our own throats.


Vanessa Gilbert

Study Finds Male Chimps Mellow With Age

Primatologists at Tufts University say that much like humans, male chimps become less aggressive as they age and maintain close long-term relationships with established friends. What do you think?

I've always compared chimps to fine wine.


Colin Bozek

Study Finds Male Chimps Mellow With Age

Oh, yeah. I became a lot happier when I focused more on my friendships and less on trying to rip off the faces and testicles of my rivals.


Justin Viera

Study Finds Male Chimps Mellow With Age

That's why I only hang out with chimps of a certain age.

The United States reported 83,757 new Covid-19 cases on Friday and 83,718 cases on Saturday, both days surpassing the previous record of 77,300 from mid-July, which experts say will likely lead to more hospitalizations and deaths this winter. What do you think?

I just can't get over how social everyone in this country is.


Stacy Bates

Oh, come on. There's always 83,757 new cases of something or other.


Miles Bielski

Nxivm Cult Leader Faces Sentencing

Keith Rainere, the founder of Nxivm, which has been described as a pyramid scheme, sex-trafficking operation, and a cult, will be sentenced on Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty on all charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and posession of child pornography last year. What do you think?


Jay Morris

This is why it's so important to keep your pyramid scheme and your cult separate.


Marlene Holt

Rap mogul Jay-Z on Friday launched Monogram, a line of cannabis products from the company Caliva where he is the chief brand strategist. What do you think?

Tell him thanks, but I've already got a guy.

Now seems like a precarious time to be opening a small business.


Sherman Pierce

Monogram is pretty good, but I think I still prefer his earlier drugs.

Country To Experience Rare Halloween Full Moon

While full moons regularly appear on Halloween every 19 years for some time zones, this October 31st will mark the first time since 1944 that a full moon will be visible to Americans across all U.S. time zones. What do you think?

God, I'm so sick of living through history.


Stephen Emhoff

I wonder how those on the moon will celebrate.


Teddy Goldstein

There's no way I'm going to look up and expose my neck on Halloween of all nights.


Tabitha Rice

New Coral Reef Discovered Off Australian Coast

Scientists have discovered a detached coral reef measuring 1,640 feet tall within the Great Barrier Reef, the first to be discovered in over 120 years. What do you think?

That ought to buy us a few more catastrophic oil spills.

With less than one week until polls close, the nation continued its sprint to finish one of the most contentious and exhausting elections in recent history as early voter count rose to over half of 2016's final turnout. What do you think?

Netflix Prices Going Up

Popular streaming service Netflix will increase pricing for its most popular plan to $14 per month and its premium plan to $18 per month in an attempt to overcome recent market slumps. What do you think?

A small price to pay for ignoring so many movies.


Patrick Hurt

Netflix Prices Going Up

If they think I'm gonna pay more for the exact same service, they're absolutely correct.


Erica Wilde

Netflix Prices Going Up

Without Quibi there to keep it in check, at least we see Netflix's true colors.

Coconut Milk Pulled From Shelves Over Forced Monkey Labor

Under pressure from animal advocacy group PETA, retailers have stopped stocking coconut milk brand Chaokoh due to allegations of using forced monkey labor in Thailand to pick coconuts. What do you think?

So cruel, especially when children are easily available.


Sarah Wright

First we can't eat monkeys, now we can't eat food prepared by monkeys. Where does it end?


Peter Summers

Those poor monkeys should be in a zoo where they belong.


Steven Feingold

Leopard Mauls Man Who Paid To Have Pictures Taken

A man was mauled by a black leopard after paying $150 to have a full contact experience with the dangerous animal. What do you think?

I hope they got to do a silly one before the mauling.

So irresponsible. That man never should have been allowed near money.


Ursula Fournier

Poland Enters Day 12 Of Nationwide Protests Following Abortion Ruling

For nearly two weeks, hundreds of thousands of people have marched through Warsaw and other major cities in Poland to protest the government and a new court ruling that leaves the country with a near-total ban on abortion. What do you think?

I'm glad to be living in a country where that's not the law in my particular state.


Rick Lefler

I guess I didn't realize people in other countries can get pregnant.


Raymond Kim

So much for Poland's spotless reputation.


Lee Phachanla

Burger King, Popeyes Introduce 'Predictive Selling Technology'

The parent company of Burger King, Popeyes, and Tim Horton's restaurants will add predictive selling technology to 10,000 drive-thrus over the next two years, which they say will tailor promotions to consumers based on previous orders, weather patterns, time of day, and other factors. What do you think?

I prefer the more personal humiliation of the cashier knowing my regular order.


Kristi Sine

Sorry, but my fast food orders are my personal business and whoever my credit card company sells the information to.


John Shiava

No algorithm will ever understand the complex beauty that is my Burger King order.

Baby Shark' Becomes Most-Viewed Youtube Video Of All Time

Baby Shark, the children's song produced by South Korean company Pinkfong, has been played over 7.043 billion times, beating Luis Fonsi's Despacito to become the most-watched Youtube video ever. What do you think?

I am dismayed at the infantilization of one of nature's most powerful predators.


Sara Mills

To be fair, a number of those views are probably from the Baby Shark's friends and family.


Yvonne Doyle

Whale Sculpture Saves Train From Crashing

Dutch authorities say a subway train that derailed from its elevated track avoided plunging to the ground below after it caught on a 32-foot statue of a whale's tail. What do you think?

Let this be a lesson to countries looking to cut funding for the arts.


Robert Antill

Art is supposed to challenge us, not make us feel safe.


Gabe Redmond

This is like something out of a big-budget, Dutch summer blockbuster.


Peter Bikel

Johnny Depp Loses Libel Case Against British Tabloid

A court in London has ruled that the British tabloid The Sun did not commit libel when they published a 2018 article claiming actor Johnny Depp was abusive toward his ex-wife Amber Heard, which the judge ruled to be substantially true based on evidence presented by the defense. What do you think?

Where's the so-called proof outside of the photos, audio recordings, and text messages?


Lindsay Werner

This is going to make getting an autograph a little awkward for the judge.


George Shenar

Well everyone knows the British legal system is biased against assholes.


Tom Musso

Utah Votes To Remove Slavery As Punishment For Crime From Constitution

Voters in Utah have passed an amendment to remove a provision from the state constitution that allows slavery or involuntary servitude if it is as punishment for a crime. What do you think?

You know, all the other states should probably do a quick 'slavery' scan of their constitutions.


Clyde Boucher

Hopefully, this will lead to slavery one day being outlawed at the federal level.


Tina Shepherd

I sure hope Utahans are ready to experience a massive crime wave.

Hundreds Of Shelter Cats And Dogs Flown From Hawaii To Mainland For Adoption

Over 600 dogs and cats were flown from overcrowded shelters in Hawaii to Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho, where the animals are more likely to be adopted in what organizers say is the largest pet rescue flight ever. What do you think?

So what's the premise then, they all have to find their way back to the island?


Byron Gibney

Hopefully they remembered to poke holes in the plane so the animals could get some fresh air.


Mary Margaret Davis

This would be great practice for any couple thinking about having 600 babies.


Frederick Robison

Kosovo President Steps Down To Face War Crimes Charges

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci resigned from office Thursday to fly to The Hague following his indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Kosovo War. What do you think?

That's a very prestigious place to be on trial for war crimes.


Ivy Radnitz

Must be pretty serious if he's leaving a secure job in this economy.


Vincent Blees

That's an ad right there for his future opponent.

Pastor To Justin Bieber, Other Celebs Fired For 'Moral Failures'

Carl Lentz, known for his friendships with celebrity worshippers and for being a spiritual advisor to Justin Bieber, has been fired from New York City megachurch Hillsong due to moral failures including infidelity. What do you think?

This type of hypocrisy is exactly why I'm a non-practicing Belieber.


Louise Machon

Unsavory characters have no business anywhere near the music industry.


Dennis Dressler

If I were Satan, I'd strike now while Justin Bieber's soul is unprotected.


Harris Lasko

Joe Biden Announces Coronavirus Task Force

President-elect Joe Biden on Monday announced plans for a 12-person Covid-19 task force which will be charged with preparing a plan to fight the pandemic when he takes office in January. What do you think?

Really terrified of the team the virus is going to put together to counter this.


Will Devine

Biden is never going to top Trump's death count with that strategy.


Sharon Bohls

We've tried everything, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give doctors a shot.

McDonald's To Launch 'McPlant' Meat Alternative

McDonald's announced the company will release a plant-based burger in some markets next year, with the possibility of adding plant-based chicken and breakfast sandwiches as well. What do you think?

Hey, vegetarians deserve to eat like shit, too.


Ruth Harling

I thought 10 orders of fries was the meat alternative.


Alvin Limbert

There's nothing vegetarians like more than the savory flavor of plant.


Peter Norgate

Mother Bear And Cub Shot Attempting To Board Nuclear Submarine

The Russian Navy says it was forced to shoot a mother bear and her cub after the pair climbed aboard a nuclear submarine that was docked at a military port, though footage from the incident drew outrage on social media. What do you think?

That's why you're supposed to hang your submarine from a tree.


Holly Smith

Napoleon, Hitler, these bears—you simply can't invade Russia.


Cornelius Bruckner

It's getting harder and harder to be a single mother these days.


Thomas Weinberger

CDC Issues Updated Thanksgiving Guidelines

The Centers for Disease Control has updated its holiday guidelines ahead of Thanksgiving, urging Americans to stay home and avoid indoor get-togethers as small household gatherings are a major contributor to the worsening coronavirus pandemic. What do you think?


Noel Murphy

A government telling me it's patriotic to avoid my family is a government I can trust.


Sarah Eubank

The CDC always has the best recipes, so I trust them.

Full House' Home Purchased For $5.35 Million

The three-story, four-bedroom Victorian home featured in the opening credits of Full House has sold for $5.35 million, $640,000 under the original asking price of $5.99 million. What do you think?

I'm not living anywhere that gets a theme song stuck in my head.


Liv Pierce

Good luck getting the Bob Saget smell out.


Jay Sproule

Washed-up celebrity house meets normal family? Sure, I'd watch that.


Adam Burgess

Britney Spears Loses Bid To Remove Father As Conservator

A Los Angeles court has denied Britney Spears' attempt to remove her father from the conservatorship of her estate, while lawyers for the pop star say she will not perform while he remains her legal guardian as she is afraid of him. What do you think?

Next time she should ask her father if she can hire better lawyers.


Kathleen Kesten

No one should be running Britney's life except her fans.


Blair Platek

It's nice to hear about fathers taking an active interest in their daughters' millions.


JoAnne Morton

Failed Art Restoration Draws Calls For Stricter Oversight

Professional art conservationists in Spain are demanding more oversight after an amateur restoration left a 97-year-old statue with grotesque features and a potato head, with many likening the incident to Monkey Christ, a botched repainting that gained international attention in 2012. What do you think?

This is what happens when society is constantly pressuring artworks to look young.


Jim Shaw

Oh please, even my kid could destroy a priceless piece of art like that.


Tony Kleinow

Why are they trying to kill the most exciting new genre of art in 100 years?


Jasmin Walters

Global Measles Cases Reach 23-Year High

Ring Recalls 350,000 Doorbells After Several Catch Fire

Amazon-subsidiary Ring is recalling 350,000 2nd-generation smart doorbells following reports that at least 23 have caught fire due to overheating batteries. What do you think?

Small price to pay for the ability to watch a guy scan a box and leave.


Tara Carvell

I wondered why firefighters keep hosing down my front porch.


Eugene Stack

Wow, my obsolete analog doorknob sure can't do that.

Dustin Johnson Wins Masters Tournament

The top-ranked golfer in the world Dustin Johnson won the 2020 Masters on Sunday, breaking the previous record of 18-under par previously held by Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth by two strokes. What do you think?

According to the Covid Tracking Project, there were 69,455 people hospitalized with Covid-19 in the U.S. on Saturday, shattering the previous record of 59,940 set in April as coronavirus cases continue to skyrocket. What do you think?

Harry Styles Becomes First Man To Appear Solo On 'Vogue' Cover

English musician Harry Styles has become the first male to star alone on the cover of Vogue in the magazine's December 2020 issue. What do you think?

This is a big step towards holding men to an unattainable standard of beauty.


Greg Kellams

Dolly Parton Donation Helps Fund Coronavirus Vaccine

It was revealed this week that a $1 million donation Dolly Parton made in April to research a cure for Covid-19 helped fund Moderna's coronavirus vaccine, which preliminary data shows may be up to 94.5% effective. What do you think?

I'm sorry, but that does not make up for her complete inaction during the 1918 pandemic.


Donna Vulich

It's got to be embarrassing for a once-great musician to become known mostly for helping save millions of lives.


Bruce Bookwalter

Worth checking out her back catalog for her early work on rubella.

Alaska Airlines Jetliner Strikes Brown Bear During Landing

A Boeing 737 struck a brown bear while landing in southeast Alaska on Saturday, damaging the plane and killing the bear. What do you think?

I'm fine with it as long as the jetliner eats what it hunts.


Drew Sabin

No, no, you're supposed to scare away brown bears with noise. It's black bears you hit with a plane.


Clark Montes

Statistically though, you're much more likely to kill a bear on the way to the airport.


Kim Caputo

New Orleans Bans Mardi Gras Parades For 2021

New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell confirmed that Mardi Gras parades will be prohibited next year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but added that city officials are asking the public to submit ideas for ways to celebrate the holiday safely. What do you think?

Sorry. I take my marching orders from the reigning King of Bacchus.


Zeke Hess

If there's anything that symbolizes the spirit of Mardi Gras, it's dutifully following public health advice.


Howard Shuster

I guess I disinfected all those beads for nothing.

Ross Aldon

Hopefully, it's the 40% of Americans that don't currently have coronavirus.

Sadly, I'll be stuck infecting a group of close friends this year.

This could be the biggest media acquisition of 2012.


Charity Turner

Buzzfeed To Acquire HuffPost

It's good that struggling digital media companies are banding together so they can fail all at once instead of one at a time.

Chris Christie Calls Trump's Legal Team A 'National Embarrassment'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Sunday that Trump should concede the election as his lawyers have failed to provide any evidence of fraud and that their conduct has been a national embarrassment. What do you think?

Being a constant embarrassment is a big part of Trump's charm.

I don't know, I think people from all over the world can feel embarrassed about this.

Fauci Says Santa Immune To Coronavirus

Leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA TODAY that Santa Claus has an innate immunity to Covid-19 and cannot spread infection to others. What do you think?

Virologists still don't yet know enough about Santa to be making claims like this.


George Ruggieri

Fauci Says Santa Immune To Coronavirus

And did he offer any comforting lies about coronavirus to calm us adults?


Rory Raskin

Fauci Says Santa Immune To Coronavirus

Then his blood is invaluable and I will pay any price.

Millions Travel Home For Thanksgiving Despite CDC Warnings

Despite warnings from the CDC to stay home, Thanksgiving may as usual be the busiest travel period of the year, as nearly 1 million Americans passed through airport screenings on Sunday. What do you think?

As long as no one brings more than 3.4 ounces of liquid on their flight, everyone should still be safe.


Bruce Hernandez

My family knows I'm gonna kill them one way or another.


Wendy Pappas

Millions of travelers and yet not a single one of them visiting me.

Unexplained Metal Monolith Discovered In Utah

The Bureau of Land Management is investigating after a helicopter crew in Utah stumbled upon a shiny metallic monolith standing roughly 10 feet tall in a remote area of the state, which they believe may be an illegal art installation. What do you think?

Let's just appreciate it for the ominous slab of metal it is instead of looking for a reason for its existence.


Ricardo West

All shitty art leaves viewers with more questions than answers.


Craig Minsal

Not all aliens want to visit the big cities.


Alesha Potter

Making enough green bean casserole for two, if you're interested.

A federal advisory committee voted Tuesday to affirm CDC director Robert Redfield's recommendation that healthcare workers and nursing home residents get priority in receiving the coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available. What do you think?

Front line workers and the elderly should be first to watch me get the vaccine.


TJ Ephraim

Wow, must be nice to be at high risk of contracting coronavirus.


John Fornier

So I guess calling dibs means nothing to these people, huh?


Paulina Buntyn

Scientists Use Facial Recognition Technology To Track Bears

A biologist in Canada is using facial recognition software called BearID to identify and track the whereabouts of grizzly bears in British Columbia, which she says will aid in conservation and research. What do you think?

This could really improve our ability to serve bears with targeted ads.


Joe Moorhead

I hate to break it to scientists, but all bears look the same.


Michael Velona

Good, bears have enjoyed anonymity for far too long.

Ryan Bonwell

U.S. Narrows Scope Of Service Animals Allowed On Planes

Emotional-support animals will soon be banned on airplanes in the U.S. after the Transportation Department ruled that only dogs that are trained to help a person with a physical or psychiatric disability will be allowed on flights. What do you think?

So what happens to my cat's unused miles?

Crap like this is exactly why I bit the bullet and bought a private jet.


Janell Hogan

But my trip will take four days if my raccoon has to drive us.


AJ Colitti

Volunteer Sustains Serious Injuries From Tiger Attack At Carol Baskin's Big Cat Rescue

A volunteer at Big Cat Rescue, an animal sanctuary featured in the Netflix documentary Tiger King, was severely injured after a tiger grabbed her arm and nearly tore it off at the shoulder during a feeding. What do you think?

Too bad this didn't happen earlier so she could've had a part on the show.


Van Davenport

It's great the tigers get the chance to engage in natural behaviors like this.

The producers of Truth Be Told, an AppleTV+ series starring Octavia Spencer and Kate Hudson, have fired the on-set doctor responsible for testing the show's cast and crew for Covid-19 after it was discovered that he does not have a license to practice medicine. What do you think?

Next time I worry Apple knows too much of my personal information, I'll remember this.


Glen Dobbin

Can't they just add a licensed doctor in post?


Hilda Seidler

People will go to incredible lengths to swab Kate Hudson's nose.


Dana Warkentin

Epic Games Cancels All In-Person Fortnite Tournaments For 2021

Now what am I going to do with my parents when they're in town?

Bob Dylan Sells Entire Songwriting Catalog To Universal Music

Bob Dylan has sold his entire catalog of more than 600 songs to Universal Music in a deal that is said to be worth between $300 million and $400 million. What do you think?

This is exactly the kind of soulless, capitalistic greed that could inspire the next Bob Dylan album.


Phillip Bedrosian

Ugh, so now if I want to own any of his music, I have to pirate it from Universal?


Rodney Milner

They're going to regret their investment when they find out he can't sing.


Heath Broyden

Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul To Face Off In February Boxing Match

Former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was undefeated during his career with a record of 50-0, will fight YouTube personality Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match in February. What do you think?

Shoot. Did they try talking things out first?


Aaron Stiles

You get a few million followers and all of a sudden you think you can knock out Logan Paul.


Joan Wright

This is a disgrace to the once-great sport of YouTubing.


Sandy Bevans

Mysterious Illness Hospitalizes 300 In India

Health officials are investigating after 315 people in a city in southern India were hospitalized over the weekend after developing epilepsy-like symptoms including seizures, vomiting, nausea, and headaches. What do you think?

Have they tried simply denying that it's happening?


Doug Quigley

I should be careful. I have a family history of mysterious illness.


Shane Manza

Hopefully, it was just some bad Arby's or something.


Buck Clancy

Eighty-one-year-old William Shakespeare of Warwickshire, England became one of the first in the world to receive Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine outside of a clinical trial as the country's mass vaccination project rolled out this week. What do you think?

Where do I know that name 'coronavirus' from?


Sofia Breen

That's crazy. He's got the same first name as William Shatner.


Rich Guglieri

Ugh, I knew they'd prioritize celebrities.


Darryl Flores

Pantone Unveils 2 Colors Of The Year For 2021

Guy Palmer

I feel bad for all the other countries without celebrity chef resources.


Kirby Salazar

Oh please, he's just doing it because he's experiencing genuine human empathy.


Jessie Colamaria

Man With 90-Year Sentence For Marijuana Released From Prison

71-year-old Richard DeLisi has been released from a Florida prison after serving 31 of his 90-year sentence for marijuana trafficking, making him one of the longest-serving inmates for nonviolent cannabis crimes in the country. What do you think?

I hope he's learned his lesson not to be singled out arbitrarily by the legal system.


Keith Rao

So now we're releasing a hardened 71-year-old ex-con instead of a 130-year-old rehabilitated man.


Dane Kilfoyle

I worry that he'll just return to a life of non-violence.


Ina Barclay

Erectile Dysfunction, Depression Medications Recalled After Packaging Mixup

Pharmaceutical distributor AvKare is recalling tablets of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, and the antidepressant medicine trazodone after a product mixup led to the two drugs being packaged together. What do you think?

The dude who sells me pills behind the gas station would never make a mistake like this.


Gil Zamora

Some of the greatest ideas start out as complete accidents.


Perry Spindel

And I thought I was just excited to be less depressed.


Cole Briscoe

Sarah Fuller Becomes First Woman To Score In Power Five Football Game

Vanderbilt senior Sarah Fuller became the first woman to score in a Power Five college football game on Saturday after kicking two extra points against the University of Tennessee. What do you think?

It's less impressive when you realize there was someone holding the ball in place for her.


Gina Houston

All the more inspiring when you take into account that she makes the exact same amount of money as her male teammates.


Jimmy Scarpone

This opens the door for women to kick all kinds of things.


Alison Lynch

Cyberpunk 2077' Developers Offer Refund For Glitchy Game

CD Projekt Red, the company behind Cyberpunk 2077, apologized this week for glitches and the game's poor graphics on older platforms, saying they will offer a refund to players who were disappointed. What do you think?

If there's one thing I know about gamers, it's their ability to forgive and move on.


Dan Easton

I've been eagerly anticipating being disappointed by this game all year.


Richard Sachoff

These developers should've foreseen major problems when they released a game 57 years early.


Dominic Perez

First Batch Of Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine Shipped Across Country

Trucks carrying 184,275 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine left a Michigan manufacturing plant on Sunday morning after the CDC authorized the vaccine for widespread use. What do you think?

It's a historic week for fans of shipping and handling.


Alice Lew

And to think, the vaccine was in Michigan this whole time.


Fitz Valentine

Dang, shipping right before Christmas has got to be a nightmare.


Vanessa Coulon

Largest Snowstorm Of Year To Hit Northeast This Week

Millions of Americans are under winter weather alerts as the biggest snowstorm of 2020 is set to hit the east coast on Wednesday, rolling in from Oklahoma and stretching from Georgia to New England. What do you think?

Just for once, can Americans not be under siege by something?


Steven Bauserman

It's times like these that I'm glad I had the foresight to invest in an ice scraper.


Don Helms

We'd have less dangerous snowstorms if the media stopped glamorizing the most destructive ones.


Ernie Walsh

Shrek,' 'Dark Knight' Added To National Film Registry

The Library of Congress has selected Shrek and The Dark Knight along with 23 other movies of historical or cultural significance to be added to the National Film Registry this year. What do you think?

Now I don't have to choose between watching Shrek or visiting the Library of Congress.

I'm not really into obscure art films like these.


Isaac Riordan

I got added to a government registry this year, too.


David Razatos

Man Wins $800,000 Playing Same Numbers On 160 Lotto Tickets

A man in Virginia won $800,000 in the state's Lottery Pick 4 game after he purchased 160 tickets all with the same numbers, with each individual ticket earning him the top prize of $5,000. What do you think?

I hope this doesn't convince people that it's a smart idea to live in Virginia.


Spike Fickert

It's always so heartwarming when someone's addiction is validated like this.


Laverne Toner

Yeah, but the odds that you're that specific guy are, like, seven billion to one.


Dot Leonetti

Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, former wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, says that over the last four months she has donated $4,158,500,000 to 384 organizations across the country and that she expects to donate more in the coming year. What do you think?

Doesn't she realize donating to charity has like a zero percent return on investment?


Timothy Slaughter

Ugh, imagine being that rich and having it be ruined by your conscience.


Elaine Duthie

Major League Baseball Adds Negro Leagues To Official Record

The MLB has reclassified the seven Negro Leagues that operated from 1920-1948 as major leagues and will add the stats of 3,400 Negro Leagues players to the organization's official statistics, which will likely result in new record-holders. What do you think?

This is a wonderful day for people who love asterisks.


Andy Stone

There's no greater honor than having your accomplishments acknowledged long after your death.


J.P. Yuse

But where will the MLB find people willing to pore over thousands of tedious baseball statistics?


Julius Evans

Recently Discovered Orchid Named Ugliest In The World

The Gastrodia agnicellus, a newly identified plant with no leaves and brown flowers that resemble decaying flesh, has been named the ugliest orchid in the world by researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. What do you think?

These scientists are right—there's no way I'd fuck that plant.


Martin Smirnova

Coelogyne pandurata must be so relieved.


Victoria Wallis

Orchid researchers are notoriously catty bitches.


Norma Hopkins

Boat Filled With Cocaine Washes Ashore On Marshall Islands

Authorities in the Marshall Islands say a boat containing an estimated $80 million worth of cocaine that washed ashore this week could have been adrift at sea for more than a year and likely came from Central or South America. What do you think?

I hate to think what a bust this big is going to do to the street price of boats.


Leo Edeson

It's difficult to hear these kinds of stories as a recovering boat addict.


Owen Cooper

Hopefully, that boat gets the help it needs to overcome its addiction.


Ted Conway

GOP Senators Call On Trump To Resign

Senators Lisa Murkoski of Alaska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania say President Trump should resign after his supporters stormed the Capitol last week in an attempt to overturn the election results and assassinate members of Congress. What do you think?

It's just two senators now, but in a few days, it could be zero.


Mary Van Pelt

GOP Senators Call On Trump To Resign

How is Trump supposed to accomplish anything when his own party won't even let his supporters assassinate them?


Jason Aldis

GOP Senators Call On Trump To Resign

Lisa Murkowski and Pat Toomey are the single bravest heroes in the history of the world.

Hallmark Asks Senators Hawley And Marshall To Return Political Donations

Greeting card company Hallmark, whose PAC donated $3,000 to Josh Hawley (R-MO) and $5,000 to Roger Marshall (R-KS) for their 2020 Senate races, is asking for their campaign contributions back, saying the senators' objections to the election certification do not reflect our company's values. What do you think?

It's high time we remove the corrupting influence of money from our greeting cards.


Roland Westby

How could Hallmark have known these senators would act on their crazy lies instead of just espouse them?


John Ansell

This is exactly why I never give people things.


Austin Kurtay

Amazon Suspends Parler From Web-Hosting Service After Google, Apple Remove App From Stores

Amazon suspended web-hosting services for Parler one day after Google and Apple removed the social networking app from their app stores for failing to regulate users' posts that promote violence. What do you think?

Good on them for removing Parler before it became enormously popular and dangerous.


Lola Sotelo

You can't just shut down an app because you don't agree with the murders it led to.


Chuck Groves

What's next? Banning overthrowing the government?


Oliver Sansom

Sex And The City' Reboot Will Not Include Kim Cattrall

Three of the original stars of HBO's Sex And The City will reprise their roles for a reboot of the series 17 years after it went off the air, though the show's fourth lead, Kim Cattrall, will not be returning. What do you think?

Seriously? That's like rebooting The Sopranos without Kim Cattrall.


Leann Wright

I can relate because I'm sort of the written-out character of my own friend group.


Thomas Lee

I have full confidence that Sarah Jessica Parker can pull off both roles.


Michael Yang

Bill Belichick Declines Medal Of Freedom From Trump

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick says he will not accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom, citing the deadly Capitol riots incited by President Trump last week. What do you think?

This is a dark day for sports memorabilia.

He can always accept it later if Trump successfully overthrows the government.


Richard Embly

Army General Daniel R. Hokanson says 10,000 Guard members will be deployed to D.C. this week and another 10,000 may be activated ahead of the presidential inauguration following threats from Trump supporters. What do you think?

Okay, but it's only fair that they're deployed equally to both sides of the conflict.


Heath Wetzel

I'm sure whatever violent mob shows up will die off on its own within a few minutes.


Nora Jutan

You'd have to be some kind of moron to think you could successfully storm the U.S. Capitol.


Russell Templeman

Airbnb Blocks All D.C. Bookings Ahead Of Inauguration

In response to federal officials urging Americans not to travel to the Capitol following last Wednesday's deadly riot, Airbnb announced they will cancel and block all reservations in Washington, D.C., during the week of President-Elect Biden's inauguration. What do you think?

Surely the First Amendment says something about non-refundable deposits.


Troy Jones

This will hopefully deter people who love participating in violent coups but hate road trips.


Kristin McLeod

If only they knew a far-right hotel magnate who could put them up for a night.


Wade Gailey

Former Michigan Governor Charged In Flint Water Crisis

Former Michigan governor Rick Snyder and members of his administration have been indicted on criminal charges for their role in the 2014 Flint water crisis that exposed residents in the predominantly Black city to lead, killing 12 and sickening dozens. What do you think?

I think that the people who had to drink the water ought to take some responsibility for this, too.


Scott Kamath

I don't see how his actions rise to the level of accountability.


Lisa Mitchell

I hope this makes other governors think twice about doing something illegal seven years ago.


Ian Siprak

Lady Gaga, J. Lo To Perform At Biden Inauguration

Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem and J. Lo will perform a musical number as part of next Wednesday's inaugural ceremonies for President-Elect Joe Biden. What do you think?

This feels like a missed opportunity to reach across the aisle to Shakira fans.


Boris Zorman

At this point in the pandemic, musicians have to take whatever gigs are available.


Diana Kaplan

I think it'd bring the country together if Biden let Trump sing the anthem.


Dean Distler

Seth Rich Conspiracy Theorists Publicly Apologize As Part Of Lawsuit Settlement

Ed Butowsky and Matt Couch, two conspiracy theorists who pushed false claims about the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich, have retracted their statements and publicly apologized after settling a lawsuit brought by the victim's brother. What do you think?

Goes to show that people will do the right thing if you give them a chance to be forced to.


Doreen Topol

I always find court-mandated apologies to be the most meaningful.


Collin Smith

Kinda makes you wonder what else fringe conspiracy theorists might be lying about.


Tom Soluri

Trump To Issue Up To 100 Pardons On Tuesday

President Trump is expected to issue up to 100 pardons and commutations before he leaves office Wednesday, though his advisors are urging him not to pardon himself, his family or his supporters from the January 6th Capitol riot. What do you think?

Turns out he just needed a due date to get something done.


Mitchell Pearsall

It's smart to not set the exact number in case any last-minute bribes come through.


Georgette Cook

It's great to see him finally find his passion.


Lee Engel

FBI Vetting 25,000 National Guard Members Ahead Of Inauguration

The FBI is screening all 25,000 National Guard troops involved in securing the Capitol during Joe Biden's Wednesday inauguration due to concerns of an insider attack. What do you think?

Give them a break. Lots of neo-Nazis sign up for the Guard to help pay for college.


Heather Glaser

No harm in sitting out one mission before going back on duty.


Milton Rathner

Jeez, that's a lot of old tweets to dig through.


Dean Souza

Mets Fire General Manager For Sexually Harassing Reporter

The New York Mets have fired General Manager Jared Porter for sending dozens of texts and explicit photos to a woman reporter in 2016. What do you think?

I guess even men in positions of power and influence can be toxic.


Casey Shirk

Don't reporters who cover baseball suffer enough?


Jillian Duncan

Come on, it's been five years. I'm sure he's forgotten and moved on by now.


Sandra Poyer

Rescue Crews In China Work To Save Trapped Miners

Rescuers are working to save 22 people trapped 2,000 feet underground inside a gold mine that collapsed nine days ago in China's eastern Shandong Province. What do you think?

Are we sure it's not safer for the miners to just stay down there until the pandemic ends?


David Guenther

This is the dark side of the mining industry you never hear about.


Buck Osborn

It's all very harrowing, but it's imperative my wife be clad head-to-toe in glittering gold.


Rich Shoemacher

Fauci Says 100 Million Vaccinations In 100 Days Is Feasible

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview that President Biden's plan to have 100 million Americans vaccinated in his first 100 days in office is absolutely a doable thing as two more pharmaceutical companies submit vaccines for FDA approval. What do you think?

If everyone who gets vaccinated then goes on to vaccinate three of their friends and so on and so forth, we should be finished in no time.


Bill Tehrani

Let's start with one a day and then see how it goes from there.


Art Nylander

Sarah Thomas Becomes First Woman To Officiate At Super Bowl

NFL official Sarah Thomas will become the first woman to officiate at the Super Bowl, where she will serve as the down judge. What do you think?

Crazy to think this wouldn't have happened if another woman had done it before her.


Trixie Alexander

Wow, that's like the Super Bowl of officiating gigs.


Gavin Vertiz

Finally, an opportunity for a woman's decisions to be aggressively critiqued by scores of ill-informed men.


Amelia Rhines

China Sanctions Mike Pompeo Along With 27 Other Trump Administration Officials

China has imposed sanctions on 28 members of the Trump administration, including Mike Pompeo, Steve Bannon, John Bolton, and Alex Azar, banning the former officials from entering mainland China or doing business in the country. What do you think?

And getting sanctioned is something you don't want to have happened to you, correct?


Forrest Molinari

If China wants to deny itself the vast cultural benefits of a Steve Bannon visit, that's on them.


Adam Whalen

It seems like there are no good Chinese government lists you can be placed on.


Paula Boutin

Some Grocery Stores To Pay Employees To Get Vaccinated

Aldi joined Trader Joe's and Dollar General this week in announcing plans to pay employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine when it becomes available. What do you think?

I really don't think Trader Joe employees need another reason to be so fucking chipper all the time.


Cliff Gallagher

It's nice to see these large companies prioritizing their employees' liability.


Jay LeeSidewalk

And so the eyes of the nation turn to Kroger.


Patrick Baur

Arizona GOP Censures Anti-Trump Republicans

The Arizona GOP voted on Saturday to censure Governor Doug Ducey for imposing emergency Covid-19 orders as well as former Senator Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain for supporting Joe Biden in the 2020 election. What do you think?

This is just the kind of divisiveness the Republican Party needs to coalesce around right now.


Alice Yandell

If they want to honor Trump, they should practice the understanding and forgiveness he preaches.


Arnie Sawaya

So, the next procedural step is 50 lashes, right?


Kristen Eames

Merck Halts Development Of Coronavirus Vaccines

Pharmaceutical company Merck is dropping its coronavirus vaccine development program after early results showed the drugs failed to generate an adequate immune response. What do you think?

Hope they have better luck next pandemic.


Max Rivetti

I wouldn't have taken a vaccine from a company that gives up so easily anyways.


Horace Kupchak

The Weeknd To Star In Super Bowl Halftime Show

Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd will headline the 2021 Super Bowl Pepsi Halftime show in Tampa, Florida. What do you think?

Pretty ballsy to schedule that right in the middle of the Super Bowl.


Regina Browne

Should we really be giving away good American jobs to Canadians right now?


Ralph Farmer

It's presumptuous of the NFL to assume we can't entertain ourselves during halftime.


Curtis Morrison

Paleontologists Say Baby Tyrannosaurs Were As Big As Medium-Sized Dogs

Paleontologists say new fossil evidence suggests Tyrannosaurs, a smaller cousin of the T-Rex, were the size of a border collie when hatched. What do you think?

Their eggs must have been the size of dog eggs, too!


Lacey Rotzler

Yeah, but they make up for it by being fucking crazy.


David Lynn

It's always wild to think about things being sizes.


Sandra Morris

Citizens Pay $55 Million Each To Be Part Of Commercial Space Crew Visiting ISS

The privately funded aerospace company Axiom announced their first commercial crew to visit the International Space Station will include three citizens, who each paid $55 million to be part of the eight day visit. What do you think?

That sounds like a lot, but when you break it down, it's only, like, $7 million a day.


Phil Czarnowski

Yuck, who'd wanna visit the ISS during the height of space tourist season?


Hal Quist

I've heard if you launch on a Tuesday, it's more like $40 million.


Christopher Burzawa

Hikers Urged To Avoid Appalachian Trail Over Covid Concerns

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is urging hikers to postpone long-distance treks until after the pandemic, citing the inability to properly socially distance when using the shelters that run along the 2,193-mile trail. What do you think?

How am I supposed to stay in shape without my daily 2000-mile walk?


Natalie Shadden

But a lot of people rely on that trail for their entire personality.


David Valia

When You Trap A Tiger' Awarded 2021 Newbery Medal

The American Library Association awarded the John Newbery Medal to author Tae Keller for her children's book When You Trap A Tiger, a story about a biracial girl who considers making a deal with a magical tiger to save her dying grandmother. What do you think?

Could you recommend something less critically acclaimed for my stupid, low-brow kid?


Alayna Ashcroft

Seems dangerous teaching children to help people just because they saw it work in some book.


Derek Spadaro

I like the idea of a magical tiger, but it's totally unrealistic to imagine a little kid who gives a shit about their grandma.


Marissa Corbett

Shark Populations Down 71% Since 1970

A new study published in the journal Nature found that the number of oceanic sharks and rays have declined by 71% in the last 50 years, mostly due to overfishing. What do you think?

Finally, the time has come for skipjack tuna to claim its rightful throne as king of the sea.


Kyle Frasier

Shark Populations Down 71% Since 1970

Sure, but the quality of sharks continues to increase.


Will Budman

Shark Populations Down 71% Since 1970

Oh, I'm sure they'll bounce back once humans are extinct.

Health Care Workers Trapped In Snow Storm Offer Vaccine To Stranded Drivers

A team of health care workers stuck in traffic during a snowstorm walked from vehicle to vehicle offering to inject drivers with doses of coronavirus vaccine that would have otherwise expired before the team could return to the clinic. What do you think?

This is why I always accept injections from roadside strangers.


Nicolette Hoffman

Just a few million more serendipitous chance events like this and we'll be well on our way to herd immunity.


Lester McClain

Where do I have to get stranded for the second injection?


Drew Diaz

Girl Scouts Partner With Grubhub For Cookie Delivery

The Girl Scouts announced that due to the pandemic consumers can now purchase cookies online and have their items delivered via Grubhub, with proceeds going to local troops based on the purchaser's area code. What do you think?

The one thing that's been missing from buying Girl Scout cookies is a hefty delivery fee.


Violet Millen

This is great news for people who hate seeing a thankful smile on a child's face.


Tyler Grosz

Isn't there any way to eat cookies without supporting some cause?


Lance Greer

Cheech Marin Opens Art Museum

Cheech Marin, one half of the 1970s comedy duo Cheech & Chong, announced plans to open an art museum dedicated to Mexican American art and culture later this year. What do you think?

I hope this doesn't cause people to start conflating art with drug use.


Deb Cottini

Cheech Marin Opens Art Museum

Yeah, well, people say they're going to do a lot of things when they're high.


Tom Daspit

Cheech Marin Opens Art Museum

I hate how rich people think they can just celebrate their rich, under-appreciated heritage.

Researchers Discover New Species Of Whale

Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say they have discovered a new species of whale after genetic testing revealed the critically endangered Rice's whale is not related to other whales found in the Gulf of Mexico. What do you think?

Nobody outruns marine biologists forever.


Tommy Kenn

I'll believe it when I see the genome sequence myself.


Alfred Hudock

Maybe the whales aren't blood related, but I hope they still consider each other family.


Violet Ziegler

Myanmar Military Seizes Power In Coup

Myanmar's military detained politicians and took over the government on Monday morning, claiming without evidence that the country's November elections results were fraudulent. What do you think?

A chilling reminder of what happens when those attempting a coup actually have their shit together.


Bradley Faure

Myanmar Military Seizes Power In Coup

I'm sure that ruthless military junta just wants the people's voice to be heard.


Davis Carbonneau

Myanmar Military Seizes Power In Coup

It's a shame this happened just when Myanmar was on its way to becoming a fully democratic genocidal regime.


Hannah Morrell

Pete Buttigieg Confirmed As Transportation Secretary

The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm former South Bend, IN mayor and 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg as the United States Secretary of Transportation. What do you think?

If he sticks with it, I bet he can work his way up to transportation president.


Sebastian Heppell

Transportation secretary seems like the appropriate fifth-place prize.


Stanley Molberg

This type of job experience will be great if he ever decided to run for mayor again.


Page Phillips

Google Threatens To Withdraw Search Engine From Australia

Google executives say they are prepared to remove the search engine from Australia if the country enacts a law that would force large tech firms to pay media outlets for news content. What do you think?

Yeah, I'd rather not exist than have to pay for things, too.


Randy Palumbo

Chilling to think Australians could lose access to the wealth of information that comes after three pages of links to Google-affiliate sites and Pinterest pages.


Buzz Garman

That would be a devastating blow to all those tourists who flock to Australia every year to use Google.


John Trotman

6 Arrested For Changing Hollywood Sign To Read 'Hollyboob'

Six people have been arrested for altering the Los Angeles Hollywood sign to read Hollyboob, a stunt that was supposedly intended to promote breast cancer awareness. What do you think?

This reminds me of when I raised awareness of testicular cancer by writing 'balls' on my passed-out roommate.


Harriet Keogh

How dare those vandals desecrate this sacred symbol of real estate development.


Ben Simpson

I guess Los Angeles really is the crime-infested hellhole my parents warned me about.


Derick Martinez

Canada Designates Proud Boys As Terrorist Group

The Canadian government on Wednesday declared the Proud Boys a terrorist entity, saying the alt-right, white nationalist group is a significant threat to national security due to their violent actions and racist, hateful rhetoric. What do you think?

Ugh, I always get confused by Canada's weird metric system for measuring terrorists.


Kia Rosen

Imagine being declared a terrorist simply for expressing your views through terrorism.


Marty Tezber

Maybe by sharing a title with non-white extremist groups they'll realize how similar they actually are.


John Rietveld

Court Records Show Merck Knew Anti-Baldness Drug Could Be Linked To Suicide

Recently released court documents show that the pharmaceutical company Merck was aware that some men reported experiencing suicidal ideation while using the anti-baldness drug Propecia, but chose not to include a warning on the treatment's label. What do you think?

Well, this certainly makes me think twice about going bald.


Maxine Coscia

At least they get to look good while ideating.


Tim Plaxton

I don't need some fancy hair-growth drug to think about killing myself.


Martin Letch

Theme Park Sues Taylor Swift Over Album Name

Evermore Park, a fantasy theme park located in Utah, is suing Taylor Swift after claiming her latest album Evermore infringes on their trademark. What do you think?

Even more damning, their waterslide features Bon Iver.


Paula Draycott

This is why you should always check with your lawyers before you create art.


Dave Southworth

From a business perspective, I understand how a failing theme park would want to distance themselves from a wildly successful musician.


Don Jessup

Buccaneers Win Super Bowl LV

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV on Sunday, with a final score of 31 to 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. What do you think?

You've really got to hand it to Tom Brady for being one of the few sports stars I'm familiar with.


Anna Ortega

Buccaneers Win Super Bowl LV

If you have to move to Florida, you might as well make the most of it.


Bo Whitfield

Buccaneers Win Super Bowl LV

That must be what all the noise I heard coming from Raymond James Stadium last night was about.


Natalie French

Voting Machine Company Sues Fox News For $2.7 Billion

Voting technology company Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News on Thursday, alleging the network contributed to a disinformation campaign about the 2020 election results that defamed the business. What do you think?

That's actually a pretty reasonable price for all the airtime they were able to get out of those lies.


Dale Ward

Yeah, this caused a lot of people I know to stop using Smartmatics as their home voting machines.


Neil Pelzer

It seems a little unfair to hold Fox News to the standards of a news organization.


Rocco Gilbert

Wallet Lost In Antarctica Returned 53 Years Later

Paul Grisham, 91, has been reunited with the wallet he lost while working as a U.S. Navy meteorologist in Antarctica in 1967 after it was discovered hidden behind a locker at McMurdo Station. What do you think?

It's always on the last continent you look.


Tim Pepiot

Come to think of it, I never checked Antarctica for my lost wallet.


Albert Stovall

Utah School Drops Plans To Let Students Opt Out Of Black History Month

A Montessori school in Utah has walked back plans to allow parents to exempt their children from learning a Black History Month curriculum following national public backlash. What do you think?

Well, you can just imagine how radical Utah's Black history curriculum is.


Brady Cronin

Parents should let their values decide what history occurred.


Abby Caballero

But they can still opt out of science, right?


Boyd Hasbourne

Buccaneers Celebrate Super Bowl Victory With Boat Parade

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl LV win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday with a boat parade along the Hillsborough River. What do you think?

Floridians need something to celebrate after the year they ignored.


Wendy Babbit

There's no need to rub it in that the Chiefs live in a landlocked state.


Grant Ettinger

My in-laws and I did the same thing after our Super Bowl victory.


Tom Biederman

Mississippi Town Offering Stipend For Remote Workers To Move In

The city of Natchez, MS is offering $2,500 in moving expenses and a monthly $300 stipend to remote workers willing to purchase a house and live in the town for one year. What do you think?

Could I live in this town remotely from my current location?


Dom Iannitti

Natchez does seem like it would be a good place to eventually move away from.


Victoria Ghazarian

Wow, they pretty much nailed the exact amount of money I'd be willing to move to Mississippi for.


Giselle Baker

Tokyo 2020 Olympics President Resigns Following Sexist Comments

Yoshiro Mori, the president of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, will step down from his position after remarks he made about women during a board of trustees meeting were leaked to the public last week. What do you think?

I'm sure if he'd known his comments were going to cost him his job, he would have said them quieter.


Judah Candusso

I guess Japan isn't at all the gender-blind utopia I'd heard.


Alan Hynde

Oh no, does this mean there won't be a 2020 Olympics?


Larry Chavarria

Yellow Lobster Caught Off Coast Of Maine

An extremely rare yellow lobster caught along the Maine coast has been donated to the University of New England, which has named the unique crustacean Banana. What do you think?

I hope they keep going until they have the whole rainbow.


Rory Wooden

Wow, guess a lobster gets to go to my dream school.


Margaret Battaglia

That poor lobster should be in the ocean dying from climate change.


Silvio Espiritu

Doughnut Shop Owned By Shaquille O'Neal Burns Down

An Atlanta Krispy Kreme doughnut shop belonging to Shaquille O'Neal, who also acts as a spokesperson for the franchise, was heavily damaged in a fire Wednesday morning. What do you think?

You think doughnut insurance is pointless and then something like this happens.


Carlos Ventura

I'm just saying, Michael Jordan never had a doughnut shop that caught fire.


Edwina Simon

What a tragic way for Shaq to be reminded that he's their spokesperson.


Dee Bromilow

Instagram Bans Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Over Vaccine Misinformation

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been blocked from Instagram for repeatedly sharing false information about the coronavirus and its vaccine as well as spreading conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and the world food supply. What do you think?

It's shocking how many people out there are Kennedys.


BJ Laroche

It's just tragedy after tragedy for that family.


Trevor Pine

Everyone knows Instagram is the last place you should be getting your Gates cabal information from.


Inez Bufkin

Entire California School Board Resigns After Mocking Parents In Accidental Livestream

Members of a San Francisco Bay Area school board resigned after a hot mic virtual meeting revealed them ridiculing parents, suggesting they wanted to get their babysitters back so they could smoke marijuana at home again. What do you think?

It's good to see the school board represent the students for once.


Paul Owenby

So…are they going to babysit my kid or not?


Clayton Nedd

You make a few sweeping generalizations, and all of a sudden you're the bad guy.


Cora Dearmond

Texans Facing Electricity Bills As High As $17,000 Following Winter Storm

Wholesale electricity prices in Texas skyrocketed during last week's severe winter storm, leaving some residents with bills upwards of $5,000 for just five days of energy use and at least one customer owing nearly $17,000. What do you think?

Yikes, they could have saved so much money by turning off the heat.


Bobby Yother

It's a small price to pay for the privilege of participating in the wholesale energy market.


Carter Biscoe

This is outrageous. Only medical bills should be that high.


Shane Heward

Deathbed Letter Implicates NYPD, FBI In Malcolm X Murder

The family of Malcolm X have released a former police officer's written deathbed confession that implicates the NYPD and FBI in the 1965 assassination of the Black nationalist leader. What do you think?

Big deal. The NYPD murders people all the time.


Dewey Fergurson

Yeah, but besides this and all the other evidence, what evidence do they have?


Rhonda McTigue

And we're sure it wasn't a different Malcolm X?


Allison Boyd

Japan Appoints Minister Of Loneliness

Japan has appointed a minister of loneliness, a role that aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness among Japan's residents as the country deals with rising suicide rates. What do you think?

This is a pointlessly wasteful and obtrusive move for an emotion that has traditionally been privatized with minimal regulation.


Emil Larsen

Japan Appoints Minister Of Loneliness

He only got the job because his dad is lonely.


Marco Beasley

Japan Appoints Minister Of Loneliness

If bureaucracy can't cure loneliness, I don't know what will.


Ella Pollard

Golden Globes Voters Pampered On 'Emily In Paris' Set Visit

Emily in Paris producers reportedly flew Hollywood Foreign Press members to Paris for a lavish set visit that included a $1,400-per-night hotel stay, fueling skepticism around the legitimacy of the show's award nominations. What do you think?

So, we're just going to overlook Eugene Levy handing out all those Schitt's Creek stickers?


Amos Singer

I respect producers who aren't afraid to admit their show can't win on its own merits.


Angelo Cooke

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to take the Golden Globes as a serious way to waste three hours again.


Vincent Pickens

Poll Finds Almost Half Of Republicans Would Join Trump Party

A Suffolk University-USA Today poll found that 46% of Republicans would abandon the political party as it is currently structured and join a new party if former President Trump was its leader. What do you think?

Seems ungrateful of Trump supporters after all the GOP has done to debase itself.


Ruth Chapman

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to get on another mailing list?


Travis McKee

Can't imagine what a Trump-run party would even look like.


Thomas Mullins

More Americans Identifying As LGBTQ

A Gallup poll found that 5.6% of U.S. adults identify as LGBTQ, a 1% increase over three years that's mostly attributed to younger Americans, with 1 in 6 Gen Z adults identifying as LGBTQ. What do you think?

This is great, but pride parades are way too congested as it is.


Jon Whitaker

More Americans Identifying As LGBTQ


Rosalind Dunn

More Americans Identifying As LGBTQ

Any scientist can tell you Gallup poll numbers are assigned at birth.


Vicki Popichak

Pakistan Deploys Rollerblading Police Unit

Police in Pakistan's capital have deployed an armed rollerblading unit to curb theft and harassment, clarifying that the officers would only carry smaller handguns to avoid the risk of ricocheting bullets. What do you think?

I wouldn't feel safe living somewhere the police aren't using military-grade weaponry.


Gina Thompson

I immediately see tension with the unicycle division.


Everett Navarro

I hope they have a plan for when this new technology inevitably falls into the hands of criminals.


Desmond Gates

Israel Criticized For Denying Palestinians Spare Vaccines

With reportedly half its population already vaccinated, Israel is being criticized for sending excess coronavirus vaccines to the country's allies while pledging only 5,000 doses to the millions of Palestinians living in Israeli-occupied territories. What do you think?


Bruce Watkins

I always suspected their relationship wasn't as idyllic as the media portrays it to be.


Ashley Cooper

Well, this definitely goes into the 'Con' column of being occupied


Jonathan Ware

Italy Landslide Drags Hundreds Of Coffins Into Sea

A landslide in Northern Italy sent over 200 coffins that were buried in a cliffside cemetery plummeting into the Ligurian sea, with recovery efforts expected to take days. What do you think?

Well, those people are definitely dead now.


Merle Flynn

Eternal rest in a cliffside cemetery sounds so romantic until something like this happens.


Laura Decker

Unfortunately, that's one of the risks you take by dying.


Lucrecia Colson

Single-Dose Vaccine To Begin Distribution

A CDC advisory panel voted unanimously to recommend Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine, opening the way to start distribution of the nation's first vaccine to only require a single dose and regular refrigerated storage early this week. What do you think?

Well, well, well, look who wants to make up for giving me cancer with baby powder.


Mark Denham

That single dose has got to be huge though, right?


Christopher Fay

Waiting for two vaccine appointments was sort of all I had going on.


Fritz Bilsen

Cherokee Chief Asks Jeep To Stop Using Tribe's Name

The Cherokee Nation is calling on automaker Jeep to stop using the tribe's name for two of its best-selling SUVs, as other companies and sports teams have already taken steps to remove racially and culturally inappropriate branding. What do you think?

Sorry, but they've had centuries to trademark their civilization.


Kevin Achane

I'm sure the Choctaw nation would be happy to get such a great new branding opportunity.


Rose Matten

The Cherokee are right. They should want their name to be on a much better car.


Carson Bendler

Former French President Found Guilty Of Corruption

A French court convicted former President Nicolas Sarkozy of corruption and influence peddling, suspending part of his sentence and recommending he serve only one year under house arrest. What do you think?

That's too bad, I've heard French prisons are beautiful this time of year.


Dane Warrel

You really have no business being president if you don't know how to get away with a little corruption.


Sabrina Tolston

Sounds like someone didn't appoint enough judges during their presidency.


Michelle Geck

Capitol Rioter Texted 'Moron' To Ex Who Then Turned Him In

A Pennsylvania man took a break from participating in the January 6th Capitol riots to text his ex-girlfriend that she was a moron, leading to his arrest after she gave the messages to the FBI. What do you think?


Leo Steinbrook

That's what happens when you're on your phone instead of living in the moment.


Pete Dubicki

I think we all have that one ex who needs to be turned in to the FBI.


Ezra Collins

Trump Secretly Received Covid-19 Vaccine Before Leaving White House

Former President Trump received the Covid-19 vaccine at the White House in January, but did not disclose his inoculation to the public, which doctors say would have helped ease vaccine skepticism that remains highest among Republicans. What do you think?

Who hasn't stolen some supplies after being fired from a job?


Benson Cark

The pandemic will never end if we keep wasting perfectly good doses like this.


Gayle Hicks

But if he'd gotten it publicly, he'd have the survival of thousands on his conscience.


Mark Burger

Dr. Seuss Publisher Pulls Books With Racist Imagery

Dr. Seuss Enterprises used the late author's 117th birthday to announce it will cease publishing six of his books, including If I Ran The Zoo and Scrambled Eggs Super! for character portrayals considered racist and insensitive. What do you think?

De-emphasizing racist imagery is something you'd expect in Nazi Germany, not here.


Edward Rice

I just hope this carefully calculated marketing move helps more people embrace inclusivity.


Jess Flack

It's about time we reckon with the portrayal of whatever race the Grinch was supposed to be.


Carol Walsh

First U.S. City To Start Funding Reparations To Black Americans

Evanston, Illinois will be the first American city to fund reparations for Black residents, using a 3% tax on recreational marijuana to distribute $10 million over 10 years for eligible applicants' housing beginning this spring. What do you think?

As if Illinois wasn't already enough of a utopia for Black people.


Jim Saunders

And they said my weed habit would never help fight systemic racism.


Rex Doyle

What if this incentivizes people to become slaves so their descendants can get a small amount of money?


Josh Combs

Customs Officials Find Cocaine-Coated Corn Flakes

Customs and Border Protection officers in Cincinnati seized a shipment of boxed corn flakes cereal last month laced with 44 pounds of cocaine that had an estimated street value over $2.5 million. What do you think?

It just defeats the purpose of a healthy breakfast when you add a bunch of junk to it.


Nora Heath

Pretty clever to hide something in a box labeled something else.


Erwin O’Neal

This totally changes my perception of people who eat plain corn flakes.


Jake Hewitt

Facebook Lifts Temporary Ban On Political Ads

Facebook lifted its ban on U.S. political advertising on Thursday, ending a months-long moratorium initially put in place to prevent the spread of misinformation after the November election. What do you think?

I thought Smile Direct Club was leaning left today.


Collen Pena

Good, I was getting tired of being shown coronavirus misinformation exclusively.


Lance Donaldson

Then what did I spend $50,000 on back in November?


Frank Maddox

Trump-Appointed Aide Arrested For Role In Capitol Riot

The FBI arrested former Trump-appointed State Department aide Federico Klein for participating in the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6th, marking the first member of the previous administration arrested in connection to the insurrection. What do you think?

I don't understand why he couldn't just stick to his job of destroying the State Department.


Meg Russo

Makes you wonder if Trump is somehow connected as well.


Gene Burch

It's nice to see government agencies working together like this.


Eli Tatum

Iceland Experiences Over 18,000 Earthquakes In One Week

Iceland, located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where seismic activity is common, experienced more than 18,000 small earthquakes in one week, causing the ground to shake for hours and sparking concerns of an imminent volcanic eruption. What do you think?

I really thought replacing my fine china 17,999 times would be enough.


Stephan Dooley

That must have been terrifying the first 2,000 times.


Kristin Sharpe

Iceland knew the risks of breaking away from Pangea.


Estelle Carney

Dutch Inventor's Covid-19 Test Uses Screams Instead Of Nasal Swabs

A Dutch man claims to have invented a new type of coronavirus screening that places participants into an airlocked cabin to scream or sing as an air purifier collects emitted particles to test for the virus. What do you think?

I hope they can get enough particles from my world-weary sigh.


Hector Lozano

Thanks, but I'm not about to give up my only access to human physical contact.


Joey Rangel

Is it an issue if I don't have perfect pitch?


Gavin Lyman

CDC: Fully Vaccinated People Can Gather Indoors Without Masks

The CDC released guidelines for Americans fully vaccinated against Covid-19, saying they can gather indoors with others who are vaccinated with no precautions but must still adhere to masking and social distancing in public spaces. What do you think?

I knew I couldn't put off hugging my grandkids forever.


Dan Ridgeway

Okay, but so far, there aren't any vaccinated people I want to be in a room with.


Jennifer Fry

Well, the peace and quiet was nice while it lasted.


Lenny Grenier

Fugitive Caught Coming Out Of Hiding To Buy 'Call Of Duty'

An escaped prisoner in the U.K. was caught after months of evading police when he left his hideout to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, telling officers he was bored from the pandemic-related lockdown. What do you think?

I can see how being on the run from the police could get boring.


Mac Prichard

I hear the graphics alone are worth 1 to 2 years of added prison time.


Dottie Kimble

Sometimes, you have to sacrifice for a cause greater than yourself.


Lydia Conroy

Trump Loses Last Election Appeal

Former President Trump lost his last challenge of the 2020 election results when the Supreme Court refused to hear his final appeal, bringing the total number of failed legal attempts by Trump and his allies to more than 60. What do you think?

Well, that's the last we'll ever hear from that guy.


Earle Poirier

Trump Loses Last Election Appeal

Why even bother appointing judges if they're just going to rule impartially?


Dennis Hillman

Trump Loses Last Election Appeal

That's disappointing, but it's way too early to lose hope.


Marty Oakes

Biden Dogs Sent Back To Delaware Following 'Biting Incident'

President Biden's two German shepherds were sent back home to Delaware after the youngest of the dogs, Major, had what sources described as a biting incident involving a member of White House security. What do you think?

I heard Obama had to do the same thing with Rahm Emanuel.


Sarah Rosen

Delaware,' right. I've used that one on my kids, too.


Anthony Kurtz

Under the Freedom of Information Act, we're entitled to know exactly where Major bit this person.


Melissa Fields

Arkansas Passes Near-Total Abortion Ban

Arkansas has passed a near-total abortion ban into law with no exceptions for rape or incest, a sweeping measure abortion opponents hope will force the majority conservative Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade. What do you think?

It's about time the law started working for rapists like it's supposed to.


Gabe Castillo

Arkansas Passes Near-Total Abortion Ban

I assume it's only a near-total ban due to the usual exception of rich white people.


Jerry Chavez

Arkansas Passes Near-Total Abortion Ban

Eh, Colorado gives the best abortions anyway.


Buck Townsend

Alaska First State To Expand Vaccine Eligibility To 16 And Older

Alaska recently became the first state to expand eligibility for the coronavirus vaccine, making immunization available to anyone 16 years of age or older who lives or works in the state. What do you think?

I figured the virus would get tired traveling 50 miles between people.


Stanley Potter

Finally, some good news for those of us stranded in the Alaskan wilderness.


Gretchen Goodwin

But 16 is the perfect age to experience new viruses.


James Otto

Biden Signs $1.9 Trillion Covid Relief Bill

President Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion coronavirus economic relief package aimed at helping the country recover from the pandemic and includes up to $1,400 in direct payments to individuals. What do you think?


Nathan Montoya

As a lifelong Republican, I will be buying my new road bike with a heavy heart.


Belinda Fitzgerald

Woohoo! Free money that I already worked for and paid to the government.


Rosemary Powell

Beyoncé, Taylor Swift Make Grammy History

Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammy wins by a female artist after receiving her 28th award at the 63rd annual Grammys, while Taylor Swift became the first woman to win album of the year three times. What do you think?

Okay, but music isn't about winning awards, it's about making money.


Lester Wallace

I guess it's time we all accept that Beyoncé really isn't going back to Destiny's Child.


Gilbert Mills

Composer George Solti better start working on overcoming death if he wants to hold onto his lead.


Ellis Faulkner

Netflix Runs Test Cracking Down On Password Sharing

Netflix is testing a new feature that prompts viewers to verify account ownership, leading to speculation over a future crackdown on the password sharing that's practiced by one third of its 200 million subscribers. What do you think?

Go ahead. I was planning on cutting my mom out of my life anyway.


Mark Prater

I can't believe how selfish two thirds of its subscribers are.


Henrietta Cortes

Well, they just lost a non-paying customer.


Ricardo Norris

Study Shows Runner's High Caused By Cannabis-Like Biochemicals

A new study shows the euphoric feeling runners get known as runner's high is not due to endorphins but to the release of endocannabinoids, marijuana-like biochemicals that cause the floaty, blissful feelings in orgasms. What do you think?

Is there any exercise that'll make me feel like I'm on meth?


Maurice Cobb

And here I thought my runner's high was actually due to nipple chafing.


Ella Price

This explains why my son always smells like weed after track practice.


Jason Rieker

Saints Quarterback Drew Brees Retires After 20 Seasons

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has announced his retirement after a 20-season NFL career that included the franchise's only Super Bowl victory in 2006, less than a year after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city. What do you think?

A true Hall of Famer would have died on the field.


Ron Lucci

He had a good run that I'm sure he'll remember for at least a few more years.


Bethany Kretz

If there's another hurricane, I'm sure Taysom Hill can handle it.


Shauna Magro

Yo-Yo Ma Performs Surprise Concert For Vaccine Recipients

After getting his second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma entertained those still waiting in line at the vaccination site with a short impromptu concert. What do you think?

Big deal. Eddie Van Halen played 'Eruption' when I got my MMR shot in 1986.


Charles Panas

It's heartwarming that even in these difficult times, classical music is finding a way to remain elitist.


Bill Weech

I still can't believe string players are being prioritized for vaccinations over wind musicians.


Dale Hansen

Intelligence Report: Russia, Iran Tried To Influence 2020 Presidential Election

A U.S. intelligence report found that Russia and Iran engaged in multi-faceted, covert influence campaigns during the 2020 presidential election with the intent to undermine public confidence in the electoral process and U.S. institutions, and sow division and exacerbate societal tensions in the U.S. What do you think?

Clearly, Russia has learned its lesson from 2016.


Floyd Strickland

They should just start a Super PAC like everyone else.


Margie Dyer

Doomscrolling,' 'Finna' Among 600 New Words Added To Dictionary

Dictionary.com has added 600 new words to its online database, including words like doomscrolling and overpolice that reflect major events of the last year and more African American Vernacular English words like finna. What do you think?

Anyone using 'finna' already knows what it means, and anyone looking it up shouldn't be using it.


Brent Suarez

It really makes you wonder just how many more words are left to discover.


Brent Haas

I miss the simple days when the only words were 'mama' and 'dada.'


Cory Pecina

IRS Pushes Tax Filing Deadline To May 17

The IRS has postponed the tax filing deadline to May 17, allowing filers an extra month to navigate any issues from the pandemic while the agency also grapples with a backlog of 24 million unprocessed 2019 returns. What do you think?

Typical government bureaucracy, always blaming their laziness on some virus.


Elijah Bevard

After how challenging the last 12 months have been, I think I've earned a year of tax fraud.


Gale Urton

Great, I was going to put it off until then anyway.
