Saturday, September 15, 2018

And another day of cellphones, ‘freedom cities’, shark attacks, Texas trying to forget history, and, oh yeah, a skewer, all comes to a close:

“A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

52 Days

Next Thursday, FEMA will do its first test of a system that allows the president to send a message to most U.S. cellphones. Experts expressed little concern that the wireless emergency alerts could be used for political purposes. Mmm hmmm. Oh yeah, and US cellphone users will not be able to opt out. Ugh. Like we need this shit.

Winners and losers from the Manafort plea deal.

Dallas police accused of smearing man killed by cop in his own apartment.

The crackdown on 'sanctuary cities' gives birth to 'freedom cities': Advocates for undocumented immigrants believe they've found a new — and legal — way to skirt deportation efforts.

Texas board votes to eliminate Hillary Clinton, Helen Keller from history curriculum. WTAF? Reading what they did keep, it’s obvious Texas has its history education priorities all screwed up.

The strongest storm on Earth in 2018 barreled through the northern Philippines before dawn on Saturday, bringing with it ferocious winds and torrential rain.

Jeff Bezos is going to create schools where ‘the child is the customer’.

Man dies after suspected shark attack on Cape Cod. The first fatal shark attack in more than 80 years.

Scientists believe they have discovered three new species in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

A 10-Year-Old Boy Survived After A Metal Skewer Went Through His Skull. Wow. This is just...wow. Yes, he’s going to be okay.

“Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn’t hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back much more forceful than you send it out.” -- Willie Nelson

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
