Goodness, I can’t think of anything… can you?

Screenshot of a barren page on The Tennessean’s web site showing just the headline and byline of an article. The rest of the page is empty except for a banner ad column on the side, some social media icons and two “Share your feedback to help improve our site!” banners. The text of the article is nowhere to be seen.

Did Cicero have a publishing contract? Or did he just write in his journal … because? #journalism #RomanEmpire #mysteries

Was hoping this article in the New York Times would be about bats eating mosquitoes but I was wrong. Headline and a single sentence in the article were there to make bats seem like friends (they are, but not because of how many mosquitoes they eat, which is very few). Digital version [follow gift link] has a different headline. #bats #chiroptera #mosquitoes #nyc #newyork #insects #nature #biology #journalism #nytimes nytimes.com/2026/07/18/nyregio
