A cocktail from various Internet sources including BBC and Twitter tweets. Confounded, mixed, stylized, rearranged, censored, enhanced, expanded, invented in typical press fashion for day 30 of NaPoWriMo.

Didn't go for the cutesy news stuff so much as for more or less normal random picks from the news chaos in this universe.
