The Update- May 21st

In today’s edition of The Update Journal, somehow one spring retreat in the woods, the collapse of an entire reality TV empire, and the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert all ended up sharing the same energy: exhausted people trying to survive organized chaos.We revisit Camp Mason, where the hills were steep, the cabins were legally questionable, and Mr. Charles apparently drove that bus like a man who had already accepted whatever fate awaited him at the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, after years of table-flipping, drink-throwing, and people beginning every sentence with “First of all…”, the era of Love & Hip Hop may finally be winding down — proving that even reality TV eventually runs out of people willing to fight in a restaurant parking lot for six consecutive seasons.And then there’s the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. One last night at the Ed Sullivan Theater before corporate executives replace heartfelt late-night television with whatever spreadsheet-tested nonsense saves them twelve dollars and a yogurt coupon. Somewhere in Midtown, the lights dim, the cue cards fade, and an accountant whispers: “This is what innovation looks like.”In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, a sinkhole found on a LaGuardia Airport runway led to flight delays, as workers scrambled to make repairs, officials said.Madison Square Garden will not be forced to relocate under a Penn Station redesign plan approved by the Trump administration and Amtrak— with the federal government pledging $8 billion to revamp the decrepit train hub.And out in the American west in New Mexico, three people are dead and more than a dozen first responders had to be quarantined and assessed for possible exposure to an unidentified substance after being called to a suspected drug overdose at a rural home, authorities said.
