Melania Trump Orders Removal of Damaged, 200-Year-Old Tree From White House Lawn
Chaser:
Specialists at the United States National Arboretum concluded that “the overall architecture and structure of the tree is greatly compromised and the tree is completely dependent on the artificial support.” If it wasn’t for the “extensive cabling system” that props up the tree, it “would have fallen years ago,” according to the document cited by CNN.
Facebook announced that it will no longer use "Disputed Flags" — red flags next to fake news articles — to identify fake news for users. Instead it will use related articles to give people more context about a story.
Why it's happening: The tech giant is doing this in response to academic research it conducted that shows the flags don't work, and they often have the reverse effect of making people want to click even more. Related articles give people more context about what's fake or not, according to Facebook.
What? Me? No, it's not tears, just the sniffles from the dry airliner... YOU'RE the one who's crying, Captain Judgey.

Sometimes, one must simply compare a prediction to reality.

I'm not crying. I'm just hungry. So I'm drooling. I'm drooling from my eyes.
I thought that was one of the memorable scenes from Log Horizon.

Better headline: Dying tree to be removed from White House lawn before it becomes a menace to life and property

When Christmas decorating ideas go horribly wrong.

I know enough graphic designers to know that these accidental double entendres are not by mistake.
