Well, well, well…how YOU doin’? (Yeah, we know, it’s been a while.) Here’s today’s edition of Morning Social.
Headlines
Victory – for now – for #DAPL protesters. In an announcement on Sunday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wouldn’t let the Dakota Access Pipleline work continue as was planned. USA Today covers it here.
Another day, another Twitter-fueled Trump imbroglio. What’s funny is that we wrote that bolded text last week and it served as a placeholder for whatever he did over the weekend on Twitter. Like this, as reported on Mediaite, promising “retribution” for companies bolting overseas.
Italy goes right, Austria goes left. Split decision in weekend elections. Italy’s referendum leads to the resignation of its prime minister – and likely spells the end of its left-leaning government. However, Austria heads the other direction; The Guardian covers both stories in depth: Italy and Austria votes.

Italy referendum could kinda be bad for Italian banks; and what will that mean throughout Europe? We mentioned the referendum in Italy above; and lo and behold markets didn’t like the news, then sorta like the news. Sky News discusses the ramifications throughout Europe, and odds are they don’t use “kinda” and “sorta” in their writing. But they do use “knock-on” and Sky’s in Britain, so here’s a photo of a five-pound note.
Oil back up over $55. Now what? Good news for oil stocks, not good news for drivers. Or is it? Reuters covers that story at this link.

Krausening! Each region of the U.S. of A. seems to have its own random brew that, for some reason (other than taste), is popular. The Midwest? Old Style, which will be brewed in LaCrosse, Wisconsin once again.
Sportsing
Only one team is in the NFL playoffs already. How ’bout them Cowboys? All the scores on the NFL webpage.
Tiger’s back. While he didn’t perform like the Tiger of old, the big thing here is that Tiger Woods actually played in a golf tournament after a long layoff. Golf Channel covers the news.
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
All Hail the SCOTTeVEST: Amazon’s selling their Qzip and it looks beyond cool. We ran a link before, we’ll run it again, and it’s not even an affiliate link because we heart you so much.
See you Tomorrow!
We’re on Twitter and Facebook. And coming soon to other channels near you.
Cheers,
