A ray of hope for the cybersphere. The video clip in my first reply, from Jeopardy! 20 years ago today, was later placed on YouTube as a snarkpost. At first the majority of comments reflected that: either flaming Tim as a dork or calling Alex a diva who couldn’t stand to be upstaged. 1/2

After a couple of years, though, the comments evolved. The insults got overwhelmed by conversation about what a smart, funny and awesome Latin teacher Tim Russell is. So, yay awesomeness. youtu.be/jkPk8UK1p4s?...

Interesting how the corporate-opened broadcast giant ABC trembles and caves in response to a no-content lawsuit from You Know Who, while the non-profit Chicago Sun-Times calls for news media to show some backbone. apple.news/Aho_bZHCBTCC...

apple.newsNews media must stand up against Trump’s bullying lawsuits — Chicago Sun-TimesABC News and parent company Disney caved in a lawsuit even though they were on firm legal ground. They should have defended journalist George Stephanopoulos but corporate greed likely got in the way.
