This morning I woke up around 4:30 AM thinking for some odd reason that it was Tuesday. I got up and went to the bathroom, then started downstairs to feed (and shut up) Yella Fella. Only then did it occur to me that perhaps it wasn’t Tuesday after all. I checked the phone and saw … Continue reading
Facebook founder and uber-rich white boy Mark Zuckerburg has fought efforts to curtail harmful posts to his social media megasite. He didn’t care when a pizza restaurant was targeted as the supposed site where Hillary Clinton ran a child sex trafficking gang.

Curious as to who this new follower was, I checked his profile. “Buy 500 new followers for $29.” A friend I follow on Instagram was begging for help in getting her to 1000 followers.

Let’s review the latest craze- the videos of a dog in a spider costume scaring people. I am hoping those are staged, because I keep thinking it will only … Continue reading
Rumpy has a Facebook page. And until yesterday, he also had a profile. But not anymore. Seems Facebook looks unfavorably on those who would pretend to be a dog or cat.
