    I agree.

    But really dumb is an Amherst classmate, first amendment lawyer, who was general counsel for AMI: Cameron Stracher. I am hoping his fingerprints aren't on this story, but I am willing to bet that Bezos will spare no expense to bury him.

    I think Dan Savage nails it:

    Jeff Bezos, Please Release Your Dirty Selfies

    But then again, I thought Bezos had already gone too far:

    Since Venezuela is in the news, here is an interview with a guy the MSM doesn't get around to talking to.

    Remember the trial of the Atlanta school teachers accused of cheating on high-stakes testing? As usual, things are not what were reported by the mainstream media. Frankly it's disgusting.

    The corporate media won't say anything about this. We have to rely on a jagoff nightclub comedian to let us know. This is big.

    Very sparkly. Like a holiday.

    What Is Glitter?

    A manipulation of humans’ inherent desire for fresh water. An intangible light effect made physical. Mostly plastic, and often from New Jersey. Disposable by design but, it turns out, not literally disposable. A way to make long winter nights slightly brighter, despite the offshore presence of Germans. An object in which the inside of a potato chip bag meets the aurora borealis.
    A strange journey indeed.

    Shine on, TH

    I have tried repeatedly to read this article, and it disappears.

    Russian hacking, I guess.

    Along those same lines, the podcast Reply All, episode #135 , looked into this robocaller issue, and how they can track where you are. For example, I get a lot of calls from 706 numbers, because I have a 706 number. But when we moved to Macon I suddenly started getting 478 (the Macon area code) calls, even tho I still have the same number.

    Apparently, some apps extract your location and phone number, and then sell that data to whoever wants to buy it. If you have any games or other BS apps like that....they likely sell your info without you knowing it.

    It Was Just a Kayaking Trip. Until It Upended Our Lives. - The New York Times

    I think this is the best story I have read in NYT Magazine for a long long time. If you don't have online access, I'd just buy the print edition Sunday to get it.

    This is the Nat Geo footage of the rescue. Starts around 10 minute mark.
