PUTIN PERSPECTIVE

For a perfectly imperfect piece of accidental conceptual art that deftly captures the state of cable news at this moment in history, behold this hilarious/unsettling glitch from an MSNBC broadcast this week which finds Washington Post columnist David Ignatius caught in a Max-Headroomy state of saying “Russia.’’ (Trigger warning: Like I said, he says “Russia’’ over and over.) Still not quite as creepy as when Russian state television inexplicably took over C-SPAN1 for a few minutes last week (yes, that happened). Has anyone seen my inhaler?

SQUEEZE PLAY

If this week (specifically a certain event taking place at the very end of this week) has you on edge, YouTube Huw Parkinson’s magnificent “Life Accordion To Trump’’ may help you breathe a little easier. There aren’t many things in this world that are improved with the simple addition of a poorly played squeezebox, but let the Donald prove himself an exception to yet another rule.

UNLOVED HANDLES

The Daily Dot this week compiled a list of woefully wasted Twitter handles, from the tragically neglected @McChicken to the painfully missed opportunity of @StonedSanta. Now add to this list the soon to be glaringly underused official @POTUS account, which President-elect Trump will reportedly forgo in favor of his own personal account. I’m just gonna let that one sit and aerate for a while so it can open up and really release its bouquet.

YELLOW ALERT

And finally, a detour into a bit of Internet news that actually matters: London designer Corrine Ellsworth Beaumont posted a series of images employing lemons to help women identify the warning signs of breast cancer. It took just three Facebook posts to reach more than 7 million people with the images under the banner of Know Your Lemons. (With not one implied nipple nixed by the Facebook police. Yet.)
