Ashton Kutcher Slams The Media For Ruining Twitter! Quote Of The Day!

"It used to be a personalized experience that I could share. I think media f-cked it up. There's a lot of people selling sh-t that I don't want in my feed. Maybe I need to curate my feed better. When I first started using it it felt like the democratization of media. When they added the retweet button, it created a lot of noise in the system that hurt the experience."

- Ashton Kutcher, on when his experience with Twitter turned negative, during a discussion at the 2013 CTIA mobile-industry trade show.

Miami Marlins Star Pitcher Jose Fernandez Killed In Boating Accident

This is unimaginably tragic.

Miami Marlins star pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident in Miami early Sunday morning, the MLB team has confirmed. He was just 24 years old.

The pitcher and two other unidentified people were pronounced dead early Sunday after a Coast Guard patrol found a 33-foot boat overturned on a jetty about 3:30 a.m. local Miami time, according to Coast Guard Chief Nyxolyno Cangemi.

The accident is currently being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The Marlins, who were set to play the Atlanta Braves today, have canceled their game in light of the tragedy surrounding Fernandez (pictured above, left, laughing with an umpire during a game last week).

The team did release a statement on the matter, though (below):
