Just saw a black and white movie on TV. I Confess, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is a crime drama released in 1953. Quebec City, Canada, serves as the setting and is like a character in the movie.

Sandcastles On The Beach

Posted by Luminosity , in Commentary 03 October 2015 -

The arrangement of any public place is now only temporary, like sandcastles on the beach. Some say every generation brings their own reality with them, like a stage set. If so, this one has a beef with permanency. They also seem determined to take away the advantage of experience. At this point I should know where everything is in every store, but I am...

My preferences got changed in two ways, my posts are double posting, and people I mute still turn up. Design flaws: you can't specify how often you'd want to hear from a particular poster, you can't delete a particular tweet from your feed, and people aren't given the option of telling you why they unfollow you.
