"This evil, evil man has now ruined a generation of kids."

That's how the folks of Fox and Friends once described Mister Rogers. 

In a 2007 clip from the show, the show hosts go on a tirade claiming the man behind Mister Rogers Neighborhood managed to "discount" hard work by telling children that they were special, and have therefore "ruined" kids by making them entitled. Their bold commentary has resurfaced following the critically acclaimed release of Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Considering the positive impact that Rogers had on children who grew up watching his public television show, it's an amusing smear campaign to watch years later — and thankfully, it hasn't hurt his legacy one bit. Read more...

As the debate rages on about the Trump administration's horrific policy of separating undocumented parents from their children as they attempt to cross the border between the United States and Mexico, the fight between officials and lawmakers has spilled over onto social media.

One tweet, in particular, from Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen, has served as a flashpoint. She tweeted on Sunday that the DHS doesn't "have a policy of separating families at the border. Period." 

We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period.

We are sure the players on Mexico's soccer team are "talented" and "skilled athletes," but they really owe their earthquake-inducing win on Sunday to one grandmother.

Willy Gonzalez of El Paso, Texas, watched the game on TV with his family, and he saw it all go down. During the national anthem, Willy's mother blessed each Mexican player as they appeared onscreen. Later, the team won a stunning victory over Germany.

Coincidence? Nope!

People who call 911 from their iPhone will be able to automatically share their exact location with first responders, Apple announced on Monday. 

The feature, which will only be available to users in the U.S. at launch, is slated to become available later this year with the launch of iOS 12.

Apple will also use technology from emergency technology company RapidSOS to share HELO location data with 911 centers.  Read more...

I have a confession to make: I'm a Slytherin on Twitter. 

Yes, it's true. 

I'm a full-blown Ravenclaw in real life, and yet somehow, on Twitter, I code switch into the most Slytherin version of myself. 

I'm kind of mean, sort of conniving, and somewhat power-hungry in the way I keep track of my follower count. I also don't particularly care about being liked on Twitter as long as I'm respected, and I'm willing to call people out if they're being boneheaded in my timeline.
