those fb friend requests

TFW I go out to eat with a group, then later a few sweetly send friend requests on FB even though I didn’t mention having an account there.

I browse their timelines first and it’s 17 hours a day of compulsive posting about how all the bad started in 2016 with DT.

I’m not a Repub, but I don’t need that shit.

Later, “I sent you a friend request. Didn’t you get it?”

Me: “I don’t get on much. I’ll look again.” 🤣

They’re just looking for a damned audience. 🙄

rock of ages, still a rollin’

Certain movies, situations, etc, can trigger vivid recollections of violence from over half a century ago.

wordle boycott

Bold, dangerous, system-changing activism:

the news

When I read the news, I mostly want it to be written by:

— military analysts
— current and former government officials
— nameless Western officials
— Washington think tanks

aoc and railroad trax – omg!

meme of AOC doing their border theatre anguish pose over empty railroad tracks.

that usa to cuba cable

A Cuban friend expressing some rage (quoted below) at the USDOJ moving to block an undersea telecommunications cable from USA to Cuba.

I agree.

A previous POTUS flippantly promised one during a visit years ago. “I’ll have Verizon drop a cable.” Pffft. I didn’t know Verizon took orders from the President. Probably, it’s the other way around.

“And from these people is already madness, frenetic and tireless hatred.”

Y lo de esta gente ya es locura, odio frenético e incansable.

sigh, status quo stream

On another network, a full stream from a user of the most status quo hole-in-the-head propaganda direct from the corporate “mighty Wurlitzer.” I look at the profile, and it says #antifascist #revolutionary #anarchist #contrarian .

It’s so often this way.

undersea cable from usa to cuba to be denied

Things continue to stay stupid.

USDOJ recommended that the FCC deny an undersea cable connection to Cuba due to risk to USA national security because the equipment on the Cuban end would be owned by… Cuba. 😱

Hell, everything is a risk to USA national security: the wind blowing, sun coming up, etc.

Data and telephone to Cuba is a mess because it has to go alllll the wayyy down and around through Colombia and Venezuela usually.

facebook jail?

Maybe I’ve gone too far on Facebook. It keeps malfunctioning on me. There was that summer of jail a few years ago. Happened to a lot of people. If it is like that, I don’t know why. I never say anything important there. At best, mild complaints.

It’s best to save the “hot” topics for where one pays for the server. I’ve got some of that, but I don’t have that much to say there, either.

jesse helms’ marls (morals)

Thinking back to how NC Senator Jesse Helms pronounced “morals.” It was “marls.”

1980’s, before I could pound out my vapid ditties on some obscure social media, I would write (postal mail) Senator Helms’ office about every little thing that was on my mind.

Example: “Could the Senator not refer to voters as fags and queers?”

Just simple things like that, lol. The office replied to single single letter. Replies were polite though I don’t remember the contents now.
