Meta And Me – I Can’t Quit Anything From There

Meta is the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, What’s App, and Threads. I am on all three platforms and I won’t be dropping any of them. I rely upon Facebook to keep up with family, friends, and other stuff I am interested in. Threads, the Twitter replacement is a great place of connection and communication. I stay connected to pro wrestling there. Instagram has a purpose for visual expression and communication.

Yes, Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg’s business and ethical dealings are very suspect. We have seen what he has done in eliminating fact-checking and DEI initiatives. Sure some of his decisions are disappointing. The platforms his company has created are vital for many to keep in touch. Sure I can moderate my usage and tweak the settings so that I won’t bothered with stuff I don’t want to see.

Until someone can create a viable replacement with the same social reach as Facebook then I won’t be leaving. Nor will I leave Instagram or Threads. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will have that option.

Winter Wonderland Part 2

The snow keeps on coming into our afternoon. It’s more than I thought there would be. It’s pretty I admit.

Quote Of The Day

We told the truth, we obeyed the law, and we kept the peace.

Winter Wonderland Or Something Like That

We are having our first snow of 2025. It’s predicted to be about 3 or so inches. Where I live we are not equipped for big time winter events although we have had a couple. It’s pretty to look at but it’s not always easy to get around in. Safe and cozy is the rule of the day except I’m working from home today.

People In Peril

When people are in peril do things to help, not further harm them. There is no need to pile on problems for someone who is struggling. Also those who are in power should be servants to everyone.
