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.

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.

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?

Doesn’t ‘fatally shooting’ sound so much better than ‘killing’?
I didn’t think that the podcasting app had been around long enough to qualify for ‘an era’, much less for its passing to be reported in the Guardian.
Wrong Castro.
