| | rantnrave:// Our new MediaREDEF SET - Brexit. WTF or Hooray? An absolutely and admittedly exhaustive look at everything we are reading in regards to this historic decision by the British voters. It's a mind melter... 10 months after a close call and quad-bypass heart surgery I did 8.5 miles in walks yesterday. I'm rarely proud of myself but this was big for me. I'm sure I didn't live so I could see TRUMP be elected POTUS... Where's the SOPA army during this election?... Manifestations of cries for help are often irrational #Trump #Brexit #etc... I'm a fan of caning those that send me placement solicitation emails as if we have a conversation going. We don't. We never did. As JOSHUA SCHACTER points out they "then self-reply endlessly with 'just following up'". We need a blocklist or again, caning... I have such an itchy publish finger when I write. I wish I could afford a copy editor... BOB LEFSETZ points out what I feel. Especially as a curator. The Overwhelming Decade. I need a global pause button... I'm in an abusive relationship with my CMS... The lines at the MUSICAL.LY booth at VIDCON were 3x any other booth sans any influencers or stars... Happy Birthday to MICHAEL BLOOM and CHARLES FULFORD. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
