Daniel Dern was tipped to the presence of opinining
on Big Bird. And then, let loose the
photoshops of war — Dern particularly
like the last one.

I knew all of this, but do you know How
the Internet Works?

Kent Peterman ran across an old George Carlin question, "If
lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow
that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners
depressed?"  I found a site that continues the
discussion in an amusing way. Kent also found this: "I’ll
believe corporations are people as soon as Texas executes one of them."

Oedb.org recently
published an article, 100
Indispensable
Twitter Tips for Journalism Students.
Looks to
me like these are good tips for anyone (and, alas, that means everyone)
for whom social media will be a part of their professional life in the
future. Well, shall we say everyone under 60 (which is how old I am,
and, conveniently therefore, excludes me)
