    Will the “Influencer” Market Collapse?

    I don’t put a lot of attention into Instagram, but occasionally I post a picture of a work in progress, there, or I browse “drunkpeopledoingthings” and “thingsblowingup” – OK, it’s embarrassingly prurient.

    A Tiny Place To Pack Stupidity Into

    When I was in high school, my mom brightly suggested my dad and I should go see the movie Gallipoli. Dad looked over at me with horror for a second, trying to figure out what to say, other than “that does not sound uplifting.”

    Riot comme des Français

    I was a kid sitting on my dad’s big shoulders during the student riots in Paris in the 60s. I don’t remember it, but dad says it was weird that it felt safe to carry a kid right down to the battlefront where carefully aimed cobblestones were flying at cops.
