3. Context would be nice

Not everyone is reading/watching what you are. Maybe some are at work or in dial-up and can't get to cnn.

5. My link includes

security robot drowns. It would have taken the poster less time to read it than to respond

[KatyMan]

7. Thanks, that wasn't hard I'm sure

Why would anyone think it's ok to post a link without context? Even if it says cnn.com, things like that can be spoofed. Not to mention it would be nice to know if I wanted to read the link before going to it. Common courtesy.
Speaking of which, can we please PUT THE TEXT OF TWEETS IN THE OP WHEN THEY'RE POSTED?

8. Then read what's on the link n/t

[KatyMan]

9. why not put in some context?

How hard is it to post the opening paragraph?

[KatyMan]

10. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

We can't let this happen

[Blindingly apparent]

11. And a few of us are visually impaired

I don't follow links without context because I get lost and can't find my way back to original article or thread

6. Robocop witch test (courtesy of Monty Python):

No. It floats!
Let's throw her into the bog!
What also floats in water?
Bread
Apples
Very small rocks
Cider
Grape gravy
Cherries
Mud
A Duck!
Exactly! So, logically...
If she weighs the same as a duck... she's made of wood!
And therefore...

A witch!
