A successful blog should be short, stick to theme, and express strong opinions. I suppose one has to want to be a successful blogger. If I change my mind, I'll write in a brief, pithy fashion about IPhones, Viagra, the World Wrestling Federation, Miley Cyrus, wrinkle cream, penis growth, weight loss, Jesus, classic Elvis recordings, keeping out immigrants, guns, stopping abortion, making money without working, naughty housewives, and pork bellies.

Selfies and Narcissism
YogaAnonymous tells us: "Research | Scientists Link Selfies To Narcissism, Addiction & Mental Illness."

Will Wonders Never Cease. I've not read the article but it seems dubious on its face, confusing cause and effect. It would seem that Narcissism, Addiction, and Mental Illness lead to Selfies. Or not. Way back when, they were worried about blobs eating Philadelphia. Now anxiety about runaway technology produces a ridiculous Jeremiad twice a day. Why not focus on more pressing concerns such as global warming, world hunger, environmental destruction, genocide, social inequality, invasive surveillance, fundamentalism, etc, which will make us all dead way before Selfies make us crazy maladaptive alcoholics.
