‘Stop trying to make Mayim happen’

I’ll take “Unhappy Fans” for 100.

The “Jeopardy!” hosting schedule was announced on Monday’s “Inside Jeopardy!” podcast — and viewers are seething about the decision-making.

Only the url, cryptoitscool.com, gave away that fact it was fake.

The “story” claimed that Branson had gone onto a chat show to reveal that he had invested £27million…

Parler has become popular among supporters of President Trump, as platforms like Twitter and Facebook tightened their moderation policies. The group of Amazon employees includes many higher-skilled workers at the company, including data scientists and software developers. It’s not the first time the group has…
