Like that other email service, but not…it’s Morning Social for Wednesday, July 13, 2016…
Headlines
Where is the South China Sea, anyway? When news broke of some…uh…”tension” over there, you might be wondering where “there” is. Wikipedia to the rescue with this territorial disputes link! And hear about the latest in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required).
Pence. Christie. Sessions. Gingrich. The quadrennial “who’s your running mate, bro?” question. (Which, we know, is a few weeks away from a gender-neutral “who’s your running mate, Madam Secretary?” question.) CNN breaks it down.

Meme of the Day
“Russell Brand talking to Tom Cruise about Communism” on the Joe Rogan Podcast. (Or, “‘Sentences I thought I’d never write for 1000,’ Alex.”) Sure, not technically a “meme” but maybe a video.
Business
Malaysian Interest Rates and You. Not sure we saw THAT coming, either; but at 3.00%, still high for a Central Bank. More from the Nasdaq site.
Dow, S&P both hit records yesterday. Every silver lining has a cloud, tho, as you learn from this piece from Reuters on today’s futures.
Social-ism
TNW tells us (and everyone else) about an extension for Chrome called “Chirp.”
The Rando
Go, Jennifer! The only celebrity news we really go for here is when the famous tell the media to “bugger off.” (BBC Link, thus the use of English slang, also “rumour” in the headline.)
Sportsing
AL beats NL. Bonus points if you said that out loud as “Al beats Nil.” 4-2 final, here’s a recap; ticket brokers near Wrigley Field calculate the thousands they’ll lose on one less World Series home game.
Tip of the Day
Maybe cool it with the robots? Everyone appears to be okay, except for the robot’s bruised ego.
Style and Whatnot
Why cry? Nye ties tie! (Sigh.) Link to greatest 82 seconds ever (for fans of sartorial splendor).
See you Tomorrow!
