Replacing brain cells killed by cable 'news'

April 16, 2021 12:00 am • Last Updated: April 16, 2021 4:18 pm

I have my own “replacement theory.” Every time some self-absorbed egomaniacal twit screams their highly invalidated claims from the television screen to convince us that their opinions are actual news, millions of perfectly healthy, rational brain cells are replaced by angry, irrational, thoughtless ones.

Let us start a movement! Unplug and save brain cells! Who is with me? Anyone? Seriously?

I hear crickets. Is this mic on?
