Makes me nostalgic. Not either song, just "The news today."
Remember back when someone referenced what was apparently a colossal #$<!~@ disaster, you knew what it was because there was generally only one going on at a time? That was cool.
Nowadays it could be anything.

... and that's if you wait for the recap where they condense it.

Good musical suggestions. I'm not sure what has you triggered. Servers and satellites going dark?

If you only watch Faux, you probably won't know.

I don't watch Fau/ox, and it's still possible for me to knot know what you're on about. I know from Drudge Report that Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddox are at the top of the ratings.
Last time I saw Rachel Maddox, she'd gone beyond the Morse Code eye blinks. Now she stares at the camera and asks someone to explain what's going on.
Right now I'm listening to Scott Adams and he said that the Twitter algorithm is beyond human control, and running things.
Did F*x not mention Snow White, Big Bird and Corona?

Mom watches the local (non-Fox) news and "The Late Show." Yes, there is always bad news, but there are millions of reporters searching for it, and everybody else focuses on it. I do not recall any catastrophic news. To what do you refer?

Well, "triggered" probably isn't quite the right word since I'm LMAO.
