So true. I wish FB had never been born.

Me too; the only reason I use it is because I share plants in Buy Nothing and I have a dog rescue...otherwise, no.

I feel guilty for not using it on good causes but I got so disgusted with it long ago that I got off totally. I'm sure Zuck doesn't miss me but I don't miss FB either.

Actual spit-take on this one lol

“I would like to see him banned from Mar-a-Lago if only so those people could get married in peace without Trump crashing the wedding and offering unsolicited election laments disguised as terrible toasts.”

God or Karma is the only way we can truly be rid of this man...I'm not kidding. I was suspended from Twitter for saying "Just keep eating that 'beautiful chocolate cake' and have a stroke". But here, I am saying, keep right on eating that incredibly unhealthy diet. Let Karma come around.

It is funny that you mention this - I read stories where people who run social media (and academics) are tying themselves up in knots over "how do you treat public figures on social media."

The answer doesn't seem that difficult, being an elected person is a serious job. Serious people should be held to a higher standard - not a lower one.

Good stuff as always, but I'm not gonna lie: "I would like to see him banned from Mar-a-Lago if only so those people could get married in peace without Trump crashing the wedding and offering unsolicited election laments disguised as terrible toasts." is the quality content I signed up for.

Is there any chance at all that Congress will reform/regulate these platforms? Your quote re: "anticipating a corporate decision" with the intensity one might expect from an important Supreme Court decision (for example) is "not great, Dan".....
