All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for... reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. | | | | Joseph Sikora is exceptional as Tommy on "Power." What could have been a silly portrayal turned out to be MVP of the show.

| | rantnrave:// Remembering all those we lost and all those heroes from 9/11. Remembering my friend ANDY GOLKIN. Remembering how we all pulled together. It was the most surreal day in my 46 years... Today's vote for dumbest idea of the the modern age? Sending reporters into deadly storms for live coverage. Watching CNN's DON LEMON (not his fault) remotely interview a reporter deep in the storm would be comical if it weren't so absurd. To listen to the reporter explain how he has a rope tied to him which is in turn tied to a pole so he won't get swept away. The poor guy can barely speak. Can't look into the camera and his entire body is distorted from the deadly winds and rain pounding him. This was on CNN Sunday night. And other channels. We want our information. We sometimes don't know what's best for us. Is it interesting to watch? Yeah, like a car accident. Should I continue watching? Probably not. Can I change the channel? Yes. It is my responsibility? Yes. Should TV take advantage of my prurient and otherwise interests? Big debate here. Really no different than the debate over engagement at big platforms like FACEBOOK. The whole thing was comical but more so it was sad and dangerous. Are we all just bacteria in the petri dish?... Looks like they got me in the EQUIFAX breach. Thanks for my friend FRED WILSON, I'm trying to pick up the pieces and follow these instructions... Sunday TV is asking a lot of time again. THE DEUCE and OUTLANDER were great debuts... SLOANE STEPHENS rumbled to the 2017 US OPEN title, dominating VENUS WILLIAMS and MADISON KEYS. Will this be a one-tournament surprise or can Stephens take the mantle from Serena and Venus as the face of women's tennis? SportsSET: "Is Sloane Stephens the Future of US Tennis?"... STEVE BANNON 60 MINUTES interview was like a bad horror movie. Gore and not believable. Not because of CHARLIE ROSE. Charlie pressed him. Bannon is a horrible human being. A liar. A question dodger and it's all about him no matter how much he talks about the working class. And the racism and anti-semitism in his comments are blatant, not veiled. Just a blamer and only he has the solution. A disgrace to humanity... Happy Birthday to DREW MCCOURT, JEFF KARISH, IRENE SOKOLOFF, ALEC SHANKMAN, JOE BILMAN, DAVE MORGAN, LUKE WEIL, MICHAEL A. CAPASSO, and TOM GRANT. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| There are two foundational technology changes rolling through the car industry at the moment; electric and autonomy. Electric is happening right now, largely as a consequence of falling battery prices, while autonomy, or at least full autonomy, is a bit further off -- perhaps 5-10 years, depending on how fast some pretty hard computer science problems get solved. | | |

| For as long as I can remember, I've been immediately skeptical of men who use the word "female" to describe women. Before I was able to put my finger on what exactly bothered me about their use of the word, I simply relied on historical record: The men I liked and respected weren't running around talking about females this, females that. | | |

As part of their corporate social responsibility activities, the alcohol industry (AI) disseminates information about alcohol and cancer. We examined the information on this which the AI disseminates to the public through its ‘social aspects and public relations organizations’ and related bodies. | | |
