Why I’m Doing Less Posts About Weird News

I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but I’ve been doing less posts about freaky news items. There is a reason for this. It isn’t that I’ve grown up at all (because I haven’t), but rather because the Comcast page has become significantly less interesting.

I used to check out the Comcast home page pretty frequently because they had a news section that I could click on and then choose a ‘weird news’ subheading. Frankly, weird news captures my interest more than most news. I still checked the google news homepage to get a general idea of what was going on in the country, looking further when something struck me as important, but weird news was more fun to peruse.

The Comcast changed things.

Yup, instead of what appeared to be their own news listing, which I could click to get a subheading for ‘weird news,’ they now have a dedicated NBC News section. When I click this, there is no ‘weird news’ subheading. Nothing even remotely like it.

This does not capture my interest.

As such, I almost never go to the Comcast homepage. I have no reason to go there anymore. Worse for my blog, I don’t regularly check for really bizarre things that happen in the world (I’m sure they’re still happening).

It sucks. It sucks for Comcast if they want me to use their page and it sucks for getting daily blog topics. I’m sure not checking out NBC News. That hasn’t managed to interest me at all.
