Have you voted yet?  Well, if you feel like taking a ballot selfie (did you know that was a thing?) you may be breaking the law.  Some crimes, let's just say, are worse then others.  Nonetheless Justin Timberlake might do hard time for selfie'ing away during his early vote in Tennessee.  (Geez, Rock stars!)   Well, maybe they'll let him off the hook.   But consider your own self warned!   This election certainly has folks snappin.        news

On the subject of selfies, I forgot to mention that even NASA Mars rover's take selfies!  Taken on Jan. 19, but only recently published, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover took a break from work "to send home a selfie taken atop a martian sand dune."   No word yet on text emoji streaming in.     news                 

Principle in the type:  'Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world.  Because when I look up in the universe, I know I'm small but I'm also big.  I'm big because I'm connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to me."     Neil deGrasse Tyson

What do teens, pop stars, scientists, moms, presidents, zookeepers, teachers, popes, and criminals all have in common?    The Selfie.         "Authorities arrested two burglary suspects who led them on a long, bizarre chase . . . through rainy Southern California that ended with the men stopping to exchange high-fives with onlookers and take selfies before being handcuffed."    Lol lol lol.   Not!   Let's rein it in a bit, eh everybody?       news
