Does Your Microwave Spy on You?
Dear Kellyanne Conway,
You might be wondering right about now—given social media is fully aware of your “femme fetale dressed in blue” professional portrait and, as is the way of social media, are now being pummelled for your apparent vanity—why you had a portrait done (in this style) to begin with.
Maybe your microwave was spying on you, after all, huh!

Pi Day
For the love of all that’s holey, why oh why do Americans celebrate Pi Day on the 14 of March? The English in me screams, given the fact we insist on writing the date with the day first, month second, followed by the year. A logic that, well, seems unbreakable, that is, till you meet an American.
Seriously, I worry for the future of America.
Moaning Lisa
Scientist, who apparently have nothing better to do with their grant money, have been studying the Mona Lisa smile. I mean, really? Yes, really!

Dumb Donald #3
Take the time to watch this all the way through to the end, it’s quite shocking to realise, Donald Trump, the current President of the United States of America either does not know how to read, or is dyslexic and doesn’t want anyone to know. A fact that Samantha Bee pointed out late last year.
Dumb Donald #2
Dumb Donald is, it would appear, outraged that he appointed his chief strategist Stephen Bannon to the Security Council, without knowing, because he doesn’t (or, quite possibly, cannot) read the contents of the Executive Orders he’s signing by the daily dozen.
Herr Bannon now has more power than Dumb Donald does.
Dumb Donald
GQ thinks it has the answer, and why we should all be afraid … very afraid!

Going ‘Rogue’
“Can’t wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS,” one anonymous National Park Service employee posted on the newly opened Twitter account @AltNatParkService. “You can take our official twitter, but you’ll never take our free time!”
Are we all doomed?
On behalf of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, scientist Lawrence M. Krauss and retired Navy Rear Adm. David Titley wrote in a New York Times op-ed:
“Never before has the Bulletin decided to advance the clock largely because of the statements of a single person. But when that person is the new president of the United States, his words matter.”

#ClimateChange
“If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear,” one official told Reuters soon after the order to shut down the website was sent.
The US has become a Dictatorship. Facts and truth no longer matter in an era of #AlternativeFacts.
