Yes, there are a few useful corners of social media.

And you could watch symphonies on TV too. And educational stuff. But kids didn't, did they? Or those who did were a rounding error.

And then of course there's the fact that social media is a million times worse than TV ever was. You wouldn't let your kids wander down every dark alley of every city on earth, so why would you let them wander every corner of the internet?

A real scramble suit. If we're going to be filmed at all times ...

At least she didn't set him on fire I guess ...

You guys would normally love this, but ... lol

I think you are confused. The corpse of Biden has shuffled off the stage.

Yeah, it's almost as though you should hire actual Americans, as actual employees.
