news that’s fit to print, all of it

I wake up, hit the browser for news, see a headline, and think to myself, “there’s yet another whole cloth fabrication by the New York Times.”

It turns out to be true for once, so I changed my morning mental chant to, “even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

those healthy-eating word salads

I smile when some blank-profile keyboard warrior “word salads” an issue to lend credibility and appear to be intellectual.

It adds to the fun of sifting through the 5h1t. I’ve been a student of propaganda most of my life. I like it.

blocked again on facebook

I’m in Facebook jail again!

For the second time in a week, I’m blocked from my account. FB doesn’t like what I post, and all I post is garbage. Freakin’ kindergarten. The prohibited words seem to be “Russia” (last week) and “sodomy” (today).

I wish they’d save me the trouble and just delete my account. It would improve my life.

I’m liking MeWe and Mastodon more all the time.

best scam call I’ve received to date

Best scam call I have received to date. It makes me finally feel validated as I’ve been expecting the hammer to drop.

The very second you receive this message. I want you to return the call as soon as possible as SSA has filed a lawsuit against your name the local County Sheriff are going to arrest you for for serious allegations before this matter goes to the courthouse and we freeze your bank account and suspend your social security number and get you arrested. For more information regarding this case. You can get that to us at 410-513-5354. I repeat 410-513-5354. Make sure you give us a call back before you get arrested.

 

oh the places i don’t go anymore

It was hard to let go of Mother Jones since I was an almost continuous reader of it since the 70’s. I let it go in the lead-up to the 2016 election. To me, it had become a dishonest clickbait machine.

I let Democracy Now! go earlier this year due to my perception that there is significant agenda to it.

Both can still have a decent moment, but neither gets my serious attention anymore. Gathering information these days is mighty tricky, but there is still some quality out there.

mole

I have sometimes hoped that someone would criticize my fluff posting with something like, “Don’t you ever work on the issues?” Then I could counter with, “The fluff posting might be a cover.”

Yes, the fluff is a cover, or this post might be a cover of cover.

fb cleanse

For the second time in two months I have scrubbed my Facebook wall. It’s in case I lose my GD mind over world gone mad. I’m ok on other networks, but FB feed triggers me. Twitter, WordPress, MeWe, VK don’t bother me. Who knows.
