HEADLINE: HLN Gutted By CNN Layoffs

It was sad when (years ago), then Headline News starting moving away from the 30 minute update cycle, but like MTV moving from music in the 1990s, the corporate parent is bent on profit, not mission.

(And for that matter, like the Weather Channel, the web better serves the content of each of their missions.)

Now it will just be another Discovery programmed channel with no unique live content.

this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"
“The tree, it’s 27 feet tall. They did not chop it down.

None of Donald Trump's 2024 GOP rivals has had the courage to condemn his antisemitism.

Let's be clear. One sign your party has embraced full on fascism is when denouncing Nazis is more dangerous politically than dining with Nazis.

Media needs to treat the GOP accordingly.

Something many Sci Fri movies gets wrong: Humans can talk to Ais, but they can't reply.

Voice recognition is WAY harder than voice synthesis; if a computer can understand speech, it should be able to speak.
