One problem I have with social media? I enact behaviors which are beneath me. I just posted a tweet storm making fun of Elon’s new name for the social media giant microblogging service we used to call Twitter…I was joking, of course, but questionable whether or not he will take it that way. In all honesty, though, I sincerely don’t care. I mean, asking him whether he was high when he came up with the name “X” is one thing. Bringing his son into it? that’s another.
Darn. Wish I had known earlier in the week that a pile of people I haven’t seen in almost 15 years or up here tonight.
Didn’t get lost today, thank the gods.

Stop Using Facebook For Important Things!
Facebook Pet Peeves (Boy I Have A Lot Of Them)
I suppose a better title for this post would be, “Stop Using Facebook For Everything.” Due to a few things I have seen on my own personal feed within the past few days. there is a reason why regardless of the fact I’ve got two pages that I technically manage, neither of them are ever updated. Are you interested in knowing why that is? Well, even if you’re not, I’m going to tell you anyway.
Facebook Has Become A Mess
I’m sure there are kinder terms for this, but there are also some worse ones, too,I would suspect. I choose to use this one,though because it is enough to convey what I want to say. I will begin with a story. I went to check on my Facebook a day or two ago, and I noticed that somehow, a ton of my friends, some which I have not seen in a few years, around fifteen or so, were posting about a planned get-together, and it was not posted as an event…if you were going to actually invite everyone, then, the events feature is there; otherwise, we will miss notifications; Facebook is not the friends communication hub it used to be, guys. It’s nothing but a farm for algorithmically placed advertisements; Facebook doesn’t care about your preferences. I wil also state that this isn’t the only time I doscovered that something was happening the day of…because it was only posted as a normal post on Facebook rather than being made into an event. I will simply reitterate…it’s bad practice these days to use Facebook as your only method of checking in with people. Frankly,the only reason why I use Facebook, now, is because of the groups of which I’m a member choosing that as their method of meeting up. Otherwise, I’d have deleted my account a long time ago.

Finished reading: The Friendly Orange Glow by Brian Dear 📚
If you enjoy tech history, then grab this one! It’s well written, and a fascinating look into the technology before Windows, before Mac, before everything, and…what they had for tech back in the ‘60’s? Was like nothing in this world.
