Can someone please explain this to me??

The doctor’s office will send 17 reminders, 4 emails, 3 texts, and a carrier pigeon reminding you to arrive 15 minutes early for your scheduled appointment.

You fill out every form online in advance and dutifully arrive 15 minutes early to check.

Receptionist: “Have a seat.”

45 minutes later, you’re finally called back. 🫩

Why are only one of us expected to keep the appointment time?!

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

UFC fights on the White House lawn are a desecration of the White House, America, our history, and the dignity of the office of the presidency.

If it’s safe enough to have this event outside, why do we need a billion dollar ballroom?

Fox News reads Trump's disgraceful Memorial Day post as though it's a normal presidential message

What kind of shitty country would deny student loan forgiveness but give January 6th rioters forgiveness and pay them $1.8 billion?

Uhm. Colbert could save PBS. Please have your NEW show on PBS. We will buy all the tote bags. PLEASE.

Imagine if Congress had any self-respect. I mean just a little.

His name was Brian Sicknick.
He was a United States Capitol Police Officer
He was murdered by Capitol rioters
Trump is paying off his killers

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.

Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

Imagine a legal system so fucked up that the president can be both plaintiff and defendant and award himself whatever he wants.

That sounds kind of like a king, doesn't it?

[Covie @covie_93]

Good thing Congress isn't alive to see all this.

There is always room for new friends on Sesame Street. We just might need a bigger bench!

Tonight, the @MTA reached a fair deal with the five LIRR unions that delivers raises for workers while protecting riders and taxpayers.

I’m pleased to announce that phased LIRR service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.

Why do we need a billion dollar ballroom for “security reasons” when just a few months ago they were running a war room out of Trump’s Florida brothel in a fucking blanket fort?
