Remember Disco? Remember how it was around for awhile and then the grown-ups thought it was cool and started doing it and then it died? Why CAN'T THAT HAPPEN TO TWEETING!!??
Astronomical "events" that are not really events, but just juxtapositions of some sort that happen regularly, but no so often that we remember it, like "super moons" and various alignments, are not really events. A comet crashing into a planet would be an event, but a full moon that happened to occur when the moon was at one of its closest cycles to Earth is really not. Also, the fact that something is not going to happen again for 87 years does not make it important. If you think about it, something that happens every two hours or once a day, or whatever, is actually much more important to us. Because, duh. Like, hey, the sun is going to come up tomorrow!! Yay! This is important.
You know how when you think you're a nice person but you're rude to clerks in stores actually makes you an asshole, even though you don't really think you are? Stupid misleading headlines designed to get your attention and click on something are actually part of the story, so if they are lies, then the article is untrue, and the publication should issue a retraction and an apology.
CNN crawl still riddled with grammatical and spelling errors.
I will give 2016 credit, though, for some things. For example, I think people have finally quit worrying about how many spaces other people leave after periods.
My phones needs me to place two spaces before three periods. If I place just one, the ellipsis and the word touch. Ew.
