    Yeah I think a few salty tweets are hardly representative of the image conjured by the headline, but in reality that’s all it is.

      This could be said about the vast majority of headlines these days. It’s exhausting.

        Like someone following you around with a megaphone occasionally screaming “fire!” or “oh God the baby!”.

        We are getting desensitized to the constant one up penmanship of panic and need higher and higher levels to even register. Go watch Faux News some time. It puts a bunch of 8 year old ADHD boys watching an action cartoon while sipping sugary lattes to shame.
