Ah that tinfoil fits nice... media fixation... Prince [View all]

every time we have a major media MY GOD, cannot walk and talk at the same time, aka fixation on a story... I always ask... so what else is going on in the world they are not telling us? (I love my foreign feeds for some of this)

Obama is in the UK, and had a press conference with PM Cameron, where he warned the Brits to stay within the EU... would be best for them...

Trump is already moving to GE mode... there was a meeting this morning with GOP brass in Florida... to be fair CNN has been treating this as a story we mention in passing.

The world is on the way to have the hottest year since records and we might have crossed the 2 degree centigrade mark... yes this could and will reinforce reverse loops. I am thinking permafrost by the way.

Yes in the Panama Papers front, about 7.8 trillion of global wealth is in things like trusts, foundations and off shore accounts. That is a SHIT LOAD OF MONEY by the way.

Of course very locally my City Council is doing all it can to prevent a substantive reform of the Citizens Review Board. Yup local media did go prince all the time last night.

From Immigration, must crossed my desk...

On May 12, 2016, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin premium processing for cap-subject H-1B petitions requesting premium processing, including petitions seeking an exemption for individuals with a U.S. master’s degree or higher. USCIS first announced in a news release that it would temporarily adjust its premium processing practice due to the historic premium processing receipt levels, combined with the possibility that the H-1B cap will be met in the first 5 business days of the filing season.

Of all of these, that one about climate change is critical for planetary survival. Nothing much after all.

Happy earth day.

Is that tin foil matching my complexion? I never know.
