Happy to recover 30 years+ of photos. yay. TGIF! Revisiting (virtually) some long-unseen images... I do love Prague. I had a large Google+ Collection from Prague (poof!) and still have a home-made "album" / & "walking tour" of #Prague @ www.fenichel.com/prague/ - Tap! #fenfotos #photography
Photo by Fenichel - A vintage scene in Prague, near Wenceslas Square, with the (in)famous "Duplex" disco (top left), a red trolley streetcar, and varied automobiles parked at a 45 degree angle near cobblestone pavement and a circular kiosk covered with posters. In between, street signs with arrows.

Cartoon by Paul Noth (New Yorker)

Four business men are hunched over a conference table, looking at numerous iPads and documents.
Behind them is a full wall window, urban skyscrapers behind.

Says one of the men: 
“Every A.I. company talks about human extinction, but how do we invest in the one that will actually deliver?”

A nice compendium/triple-play, posted by HUart... #GQP Senate sure got stuck in a sea of #Schmitt yesterday. He sure didn't know Jack! In any way. 3 takes... FYI - 2 out of 3 frames have errors. He is Missouri's SENATOR (not Rep) and his name has two T's, not Schmidt. Just think, BULLSCHMITT
Three frames, vertically (screen shot of post) - a meme & two cartoons,

1. Top: Meme/Image of Senator Eric Schmitt, smiling as the Hindenburg (derigible) is going down in flames behind him."

Caption: "From this day forward, destroying one's career in public shall be known as *schmidting the bed*.

2. Cartoon by Clay Jones: Two dogs are watching, from behind a tree, as a Senator walks by on the sidewalk, one foot in a pile of dog dung, the Capitol building behind. In his hand is a newspaper whose headline is "JACK SMITH HEARING". 

Says Scooby-Doo the dog: 
"RUT ROH... THAT SENATOR STEPPED IN A BIG PILE OF SCHMITT..."

3. Cartoon by Nick Anderson: "SLAM DUNK"

An image of "REP. ERIC SCHMITT" [Senator actually], in gym clothes (blue shorts and red/white striped shirt) his head and leg in the basketball hoop as he's jumped into it and is entangled now,

Says Schmitt: "No further questions..."
