When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

This weeks story (Patsy Cline Sings Sweet Dreams to the Universe by Beston Barnett) read by @wilwheaton.net was wonderful. Great story and interesting sound design. You should already be subscribed to It's Story Time by Wil Wheaton.

This will be the end of CNN. The viewers they still have left will be gone and they won’t be replaced with MAGA. MAGA doesn’t want Fox Lite and nobody else does either.
