I saw a video series about video TV theme songs. I enjoyed some of the old ones, such as the 50s one. I got most of them right, but missed numbers 5, 8 (shoulda got that one), 11, 15, 20, 21, 27, and 28. So, getting 21 of 29 is a solid C, right?
What’s been rattling around in your mind? Got something that’s been aching to get out? Now’s the time. It’s Monday Night Open Thread.
What’s on your mind?
Facebook is working on building its own “court” system for determining whether content violates its Terms of Service Agreement.

After Twitter vowed to “flag abusive tweets by world leaders”, President Trump vowed to “catch flags like Pokémon“.
Google celebrating America by showing a cute little cartoon of 31 people walking on a flag
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he’d “considered” celebrating Independence Day for the entire month of July, but decided against it.
“It just doesn’t make sense to make such a big deal out of something that only applies to a handful of people,” Pichai said. “I mean, how many Americans are there, anyway? Two, maybe three hundred? I know the number’s on the internet somewhere, but, ironically, I don’t have time to Google it. Anyway, we’re not gonna tie ourselves in knots just to pander to a tiny demographic.”
“By the way,” added Pichai, “did you see our Doodle for Elena Cornaro Piscopia’s 373rd Birthday? Awesome, right? Now that’s something everyone can appreciate.”
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was also dismissive of the notion of “Americanizing” the month of July.
“Ya know,” said Dorsey, “we just did the whole ‘month’ thing, so it’s kind of played out as a marketing gimmick now. People just don’t want that kind of overexposure. Right now we’d prefer to focus on gearing up our merchandising partners for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, followed by The 55 Days of Christmas as soon as Halloween is over.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg refused to even consider “American Pride Month,” saying it would be “a silly idea”.
“Look,” said Zuckerberg, “let’s just say that July 4th only appeals to a… ‘certain demographic’… one that we’re trying hard to marginalize, demonetize, and deplatform on Facebook. To be blunt, we find their choice of lifestyle disgusting. The only reason we tolerate them to the tiny degree that we do is that they’re remarkably good at baking wedding cakes.”

The one thing all the Democrat candidates agree on…
At the second Democrat debate, all of the candidates raised their hands when asked if they would support a health care plan that would cover illegal immigrants.
All the hands went down at the follow-up question “if they voted Republican?”
