Man discovers 30 year old Apple computer still in working order - CNN

Reminds me of some service call I've been on. Wasn't that long ago I went to a bank in an old building and was taken into a truly creepy, dark basement to discover a 1A2 shoebox key system with cobwebs so thick that when I wiped it off with a broom it looked like cotton candy. Had a Bell System tag on it from 1975. Still sitting there clicking and banging and whirring - for the most part.

'That's Not Journalism, That's Horseshit'

“THAT’S NOT JOURNALISM, THAT’S HORSESHIT”

CBS News Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan, who ventured some uncensored comments in a podcast:
“Visually, anyone who’s ever been to Israel and been to the Wailing Wall has seen that the women have this tiny little spot in front of the wall to pray, and the rest of the wall is for the men. To me, that’s a great representation of the American media, is that in this tiny little corner where the women pray you’ve got Breitbart and Fox News and a few others, and from there on, you have CBS, ABC, NBC, Huffington Post, Politico, whatever, right? All of them.
...
The discussion continued with Logan trashing news reports based on single, anonymous government sources, calling it an abandonment of journalistic standards.

“That’s not journalism, that’s horseshit,” Logan said. “Responsibility for fake news begins with us.”

Smollett took pointers from the villain of the first Dirty Harry movie

I know what you're thinking .... punk

Actually, if I did I wouldn't need to ask. What pointers? Andrew Robinson did a great job as Scorpio and I loved him as Garak in DS9, so I'm just curious

Scorpio had a black person beat him up to get Callahan pulled from his case, Smollett uped the ante and got two black people to beat him up. He apparently couldn't get one black person that was big enough and mean enough.

Unlike Scorpio he probably didn't enrage his attackers to get free extra service.

That headline is only partially correct, obviously left out the most important charge which is also a Felony charge for filing a false police report...Detectives have stated they will be making contact with the Smollett's legal team in order to negotiate a reasonable and peaceful surrender to be arrested...

It makes you think how many other things in the news were staged that we don't know about.
