Paramount is closer than ever to acquiring CNN parent company Warner Bros. after Netflix declined to raise its bid for the media conglomerate. That's bad news for the failing network's stable of overpaid hacks, many of whom will be first in line for layoffs (or drastic salary reductions) once the acquisition goes through.

On a Monday night in South Carolina, several hundred angsty boomers have turned out to hear the greased-up California governor talk about his favorite subject: himself.

Amherst College has a Muslim chaplain, a Buddhist chaplain, and a Hindu chaplain. Now, after the school hosted a bizarre sexual ceremony in the college’s main chapel, it is looking for a Christian one, too.
A job posting on ChristianUniversityJobs.com says that Amherst is seeking a part-time Christian chaplain who will "advance equity, belonging, and interreligious understanding."

CNN's chief climate correspondent Bill Weir lamented that climate change has prevented people from ice skating on Central Park's ponds like they did "back in the 19th century." Videos from social media, however, show people have been skating on the ice in recent weeks.

The context was the deployment in 1983 by America of Pershing II intermediate-range missiles in West Germany.
