Satellite That Hunts for Black Holes in Space is Lost http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/satellite-hunts-black-holes-space-missing/story?id=38760084.

Nothing wrong with the headline using "is lost" for "was destroyed," especially when they can't track the pieces. But it does seem ironic that something that was supposed to look for something can't be found. Oh well, what's a few hundred million dollars down the drain?

'Lucifer in the Flesh': Does Ted Cruz Have a Popularity Problem?: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lucifer-flesh-ted-cruzs-popularity-problem/story?id=38760191

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Is social media making people depressed? http://www.abc15.com/news/national/is-social-media-making-people-depressed

A better question is the same thing without the second word.

There's a certain irony to a satellite hunting for black holes being lost? Isn't there? I mean...that's always a major risk, wouldn't you think? Maybe it actually found a black hole -- hence the being lost bit.

I do think social media can depress you. It's awfully narcissistic in character. And very fake. I find myself questioning the reality of it at times.

Everyone expounding on how many friends they have, what they are doing, how great they are...if you don't have these things, it can feel lonely. Or if you posting about these things but they don't feel real to you...you are emphasizing the pain. Also, there's a lot of bad news posted on social media. I discovered that three and half days, mostly away from it, to be quite restful and helpful.
