September 2nd is the 245th day of the year. There are 120 days remaining until the end of the year.

Twitter is testing an edit button. It will be available to Twitter Blue subscribers in the coming weeks. The button allows Twitter users to make changes to their tweets within 30 minutes of them being posted. When polled, 73.6% of Twitter users wanted an edit button.

The company framed the edit button — its “most requested feature to date” — as a way of reducing the frustration that comes with having to either delete a post or leave a typo on display because there is currently no way to alter tweets.

“SNL” asked fans on Twitter who they’d like to see host, and Carol Burnett got an avalanche of support. It actually got her name trending to the point that a lot of people were afraid she DIED.

If Carol does the show, she’ll be the oldest person who’s EVER hosted. She’s 89 years old. Betty was only 88 when SHE hosted.
