I guess I’m the only one worrying about those plucky kids from Glee. How will this affect their chances at Sectionals?

Although the OP seems to have abandoned this thread here’s an update. The facility will be closed for about a week. We are apparently not about to enter a period of Mad Max style fuel shortages, gangs of mutants and motorcycle terrorists will not roam the highways, methane produced from pig shit will not be used to fuel the last remaining enclaves of civilization. Well, I for one am relieved. Not surprised, but still, relieved.

Fine. Only a week seems impressive, given the size of the fireball.

Meh or not, i can get behind the rant against CNN’s website, which is now atrocious beyond all measure, having been redesigned by a crack team of blind chimpanzees to ensure a consistently shitty and infuriating user experience across all platforms. CNN was for many years my first source for breaking news, but now it’s off-limits. Deleted the bookmark. There’s a Facebook page about the redesign, which last I checked had hundreds of complaints, and not a single vote of support. Super job, guys. Worth every penny of the thousands (millions?) you spent.

CNN’s new design is The Worst. That deserves a thread by itself.

$15 million, they allegedly spent. The mind reels.
