Morally and Constitutionally terrible, but helpful every now and then I guess. And the beach was great today. You Are [...]

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

All of it. Photos, likes, “friends”, groups, info, even my name. Then I deleted (not deactivated) the account. In other words, everything I could get rid of, I did. Now it’s gone. I feel a sort of emptiness inside, though I’m sure it’ll pass as it didn’t make a damn difference. It’s like a new [...]

They don’t even give any reasoning anymore behind their unwelcome infringements on your right to free speech. I’m not just talking about the government – I’m talking about every aspect of your personal life.
