plusterfuck

Google+, Google's 50th failed social network.

I've said before and I'll say again: my only regret about quitting Google when I did was that I did it a smidge too early to officially cite the Plusterfuck as my reason for doing so in my exit interview.

Vladministration

The administration of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump

Same cycle, every single time:

1. Trump does a crime.

2. Trump Vladministration flacks: "No, you misunderstood. What the President really meant/did was ..."

3. Trump: "No, I did a crime, bigly, and it was a beautiful crime, believe me!"
