Social Security
May 14,2018With the privacy stuff at Facebook and Twitter's recent clash with 3rd party apps, I'm feeling so good about being a part of Micro.blog.
Even if one day in the very far future this service ends, I know I'll still have all of my content. All I will have to do is set up shop somewhere else, on the same domain, and my visitors won't know the difference.
That is a powerful value proposition.

The pictures from Panmunjom are charming, historic, and humanizing. Try not to forget that Kim assassinated his brother with VX nerve agent in an international airport 14 months ago, and murdered a US citizen 10 months ago.
