I’m An Old Man

 …and I learned about this on the internet.

Raw Story, to be exact (quelle surprise, eh?). CNN is on cable, which I’m pretty sure only old people and old politicians watch anymore. I’m old, but I cut the cord a decade ago. I only watch CNN via Rupar and Acyn. I am not, on the other hand, a denizen of the intertoobs. I heard about this by reading an article on Raw Story about the CNN report. By modern standards, I am hopelessly out of touch. 

IOW (as the kids say), I don’t think that, because it’s on CNN, it is now known to the world. That’s like thinking Jake Tapper is using the latest street slang, and everyone goes to him to get it. If CNN knows about this app, it’s already widely known. CNN is not announcing this to the world. CNN is playing catch up with the world; at least the world to whom this app matters.
That response is especially delicious, because it’s ridiculously over the top, and there’s fuck-all he can do about it. And because he thinks CNN matters.

And no, this app is not “doxxing” ICE agents. That’s old people trying to use slang they don’t understand; the only person they speak to, are other old people. It’s like Jake Tapper thinking he’s discovered something that will go down in history, while ignoring what’s right in front of all our eyes.

Besides, do you really need an app to know where ICE is? You can just go to your local Home Depot and hang out in the parking lot. Or would that be doxxing?

😈
