With apologies to Wolf Blitzer and his namesake Wolf Spritzer of El Presidente restaurant in Washington DC, 24-hour news channels are no longer where people get the most important updates. Not the newspapers, not the radio, not the people gathered outside department stores watching the wall-to-wall TVs in their windows. The news is Pop Crave. And Pop Bass, Poo Crave, Pop Tings, and of course Club Chalamet. That is, unless no one in your life loves you enough to personally send you lewd, emoji-filled chain messages. When President Joe Biden announced he would not seek a second term, his official Twitter account posted. Here are details on Biden’s withdrawal announcement and what they were reporting just before. The way they framed the news shows that the Joebers have finally won.
Damn, I actually found out about it on POP CRAVE https://t.co/0V1tbnMdUP

Before Biden’s withdrawal, Discussing Film quoted Keanu Reeves in The Guardian, referring to the alt-right’s use of the Red Pill. “Yeah, that doesn’t sound so great to me,” he said. “But, I don’t know. This is art, you know? So I don’t know. I mean, it’s… yeah. Maybe people are… yeah. Maybe they’re going to embrace it and run with it?”

No Socialist Soprano Memes posted today. Is it because I respect the (union-established) 40-hour work week?
