Just ran Randall’s suggestions for text replacements that make the news fun, and got this gem from my first news article of the day: > [@](#): > > Thursday’s menage a trois at Republican National Committee headquarters will kick off with a private session between Trump, Ryan and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus before other senior House GOP leaders are invited to attend. Puerile, yes, but still made me chuckle and I had to share. ---

This calls for a Firefox extension! ---

Did you really expect otherwise? 🙂 Yeah, but that extension is for Chrome. Firefox has [FoxReplace](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxreplace/), and it’s not the greatest. But it can import lists, I think, so iI think your second link should work with it. Personally, I’d prefer one that only worked on headlines, so it wouldn’t actually mess things up with normal surfing. Maybe only on news sites, and then on links only by default. ---
