| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: Trump praises DOJ interference, white supremacist propaganda is on the rise, and Boston Dynamics' creepy robo-dog gets unleashed to the workforce.  Westerdam liner docks in Cambodia The outcast Westerdam luxury cruise liner has been taken in by Cambodia. The ship had been left stranded at sea for nearly two weeks after Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines and Guam turned it away over unfounded fears of suspected coronavirus cases on board. Cambodian authorities greenlit the ship's arrival to Sihanoukville after representatives for Carnival's Holland American Line stressed that all 2,257 passengers and crew were healthy. It will remain in port for several days and passengers will be allowed to go ashore before traveling home. More: - Holland America will arrange and pay for customers' flights home and refund the cost of the cruise, it said.
- The Westerdam's next scheduled voyage, from Yokohama on Feb. 15, was canceled, as the cruise line assesses the "impact of current port restrictions in Asia on cruises departing Feb. 29 or later."
- China's Hubei province reported 14,840 new coronavirus cases after it revised the method for counting infections, bringing the death toll in mainland China to at least 1,355.
$ignificant figures 123%.

How much Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, paid for a 9-acre Beverly Hills mansion sold by billionaire music mogul David Geffen, setting a record for a Los Angeles-area home. Highly quotable "Way too early." The WHO cautioned it was too soon to say whether COVID-19 might have peaked or when it might end, even as new coronavirus infections outside Hubei fell for the eighth consecutive day. "Congratulations for taking charge." Trump praised AG William Barr for reducing Roger Stone's recommended sentence after four prosecutors quit the case. Barr will testify to the House Judiciary Committee on March 31. "When will black lives matter again?" U.K. Labour MP David Lammy vehemently condemned the government's decision to deport to Jamaica 42 people, many of whom came to England as children. This is not normal "Mass murder." Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 4.5 million early deaths worldwide each year (3x more than car accidents), and costs $8 billion per day, or 3.3% of the global GDP, a Greenpeace report found.  The future is now Unleashed. Boston Dynamics' robo-dog, Spot, landed its first gig on an oil and gas production vessel in Norway where it'll run inspections, sniff out leaks, generate reports and perform tasks too dangerous for humans.  What's good Symbols of change.
