In a forgotten town by the Salton Sea, newcomers build a bohemian dream
Coincidentally, I passed through Bombay Beach just 4 months ago. Did not know it was a ‘bohemian dream’ … certainly didn’t look like one.
Mike Pompeo narrowly approved for secretary of state by Senate committee
Rand Paul is a 💯 poser. (I’m being nice).
Trump nominee was approved after facing a potentially historic snub, with Senator Rand Paul switching position just before the vote.
In Defending Trump, Giuliani Will Lean on His Rolodex and Reputation
His Rolodex will need to be really really strong to balance the downside of his ‘Reputation’.
To the world at large and specifically those that celebrate Saints Patrick, Andrew and David with copious and select beverages ….
Happy St. George’s Day!

Marketers Warn: ‘Day of Reckoning’ Over Facebook Data Scandal Coming
Hat absolutely not held on to in any shape nor form.
Number of zero-hours contracts in UK rose by 100,000 in 2017
How do these abominations even continue to exist … much less increase by thousands?
I wonder when Trump will say thankyou to the man who stepped in and stopped the Waffle House killer?
I wonder what the penalty for the father of the Waffle House killer will be?
Words I want to hear in a bar … “that’s ok - I’m going to take a taxi” …
Words I actually hear in bar … “that’s ok - I’m going to take an Uber” …
Oh well.
Robert Reich (The Shameful Silence of the CEOs)
If the leaders of American business remain silent about what Trump’s is doing to American democracy, they will be complicit in its demise.
The last living human link to the 19th century is gone
Yesterday Nabi Tajima, the last known survivor of the 19th century, died in Japan at age 117.
There is nobody left alive on the planet that we know about that was born in the 19th century.

With Flickr gone … any guesses as to how long before Tumblr is moved out? And if it is … who the likely buyer might be?

Michael Cohen case shines light on Sean Hannity’s property empire
We already know that Kushner is a ‘slum landlord’ …. now add to that Sean Hannity.

About Flickr and SmugMug
My bold ….
We think you are going to love Flickr under SmugMug ownership, but you can choose to not have your Flickr account and data transferred to SmugMug until May 25, 2018. If you want to keep your Flickr account and data from being transferred, you must go to your Flickr account to download the photos and videos you want to keep, then delete your account from your Account Settings by May 25, 2018.
This reads that all Flickr moves to SmugMug - and if it doesn’t your Flickr account will be deleted.
To my knowledge there is not a free SmugMug.
So is that going to be introduced after May 25th? Or will we all then be paying?
