Can we get a what what? No? Oh, well, it’s the July 14, 2016 edition of Morning Social.
Headlines
Notorious RBG isn’t going anywhere. Despite calls from Donald Trump for Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign her post in the Supreme Court, she won’t. Even Slate thinks they’re a bit much, which is saying something.
Black GOP Senators get pulled over, too. Stunning speech on race relations from the lone African American Republican Senator, South Carolina’s Tim Scott.
CLEARLY MARKED ADVERTISEMENT
If you’re an entrepreneur, you just may love the stuff from AppSumo, including today’s deal (which is going fast) on WebinarNinja. (Yes, that’s our AFFILIATE LINK.)
Meme of the Day
Everyone else is sharing video of George W. Bush dancing. Not you, though. You share video of George W. Bush having Pokemon balls thrown at him. (Note: may not have actually happened.)
Business
Land of Lincoln Health to shut down. It might be a blow to Obamacare, or might be an opportunity for the free market to work its magic. Or something else, from this Forbes commentator.
Bank of England says…your move, world. Reuters breaks down what it means to the markets.
Social-ism
PokemonGo has more daily users than Twitter. Good analysis of the app and the numbers from TechCrunch.
The Rando
It being Bastille Day, be the first on your block to share this video snippet from the early-80s movie “Victory.” They sing La Marseillaise.
Sportsing
No Games in the Bigs, but…Four powerful athletes stood together to open the ESPYs to ask for an end to violence. Here’s the clip and story from ESPN.
Call it “The Open.” Or…”the Open Championship.” And the winner is “the Champion Golfer of the Year.” Yet, for 100-plus years, it was “the British Open.” To some of the world, but not all of the world. Enter Wikipedia, to tell you how to say the name of the tournament that started already.
Tip of the Day
Got a sketchy LinkedIn request from someone? Save the photo onto your desktop and visit TinEye. If it’s someone famous or a stock photo, it’s likely not them. Even better: in Chrome, “S” + “Right-click.”
Style and Whatnot
Maybe the headline of the year: Theresa May’s hubby steals the show in sexy navy suit as he starts new life as First Man.
See you Tomorrow!
We’re on Twitter and Facebook. And coming soon to other channels near you.
