A Ramble About Sometimes
Sometimes you are happy
Sometimes you are just very sad
Sometimes you are secure
Sometimes you are scared to death
Sometimes you are rich
Sometimes you are wondering about bills
Sometimes you are the life of the party
Sometimes you are in the corner alone
Sometimes you are prosperous
Sometimes you are barely getting by
Sometimes you are fully present
Sometimes you are totally lost
Sometimes you are faithful
Sometimes you are agnostic
Sometimes you are attractive
Sometimes you are just not appealing
Sometimes you are good
Sometimes you are wicked
Sometimes you are where you should be
Sometimes you are dreaming about elsewhere
Sometimes you are the comedy
Sometimes you are the tragedy
Sometimes you are, well Sometimes
Quote Of The Day
When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people’s sufferings too. That’s the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows…Yoko Ono
Thought Of The Day
I don’t know how we keep up with our lives online because all the usernames and passwords to remember. Just think of all the apps on your phone and sites on your laptop/tablet that must have login information to provide. When you migrate to a new device you have to recall all that information to be able to use those services. Yes there are password managers and the like but you know those require usernames and passwords too. I am sure you have the same experiences too. Frustrating, oh yes.
WordPress Wandering
I have done some blog surfing across the WordPress community today. There are some awesome folks out there doing good stuff. Exploring can be fun.
#DeleteFacebook Is Not So Easy
On Twitter the hashtag #DeleteFacebook is trending as a response to their not deleting a fake video featuring U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The responsible thing would be to delete it and offer an editorial retraction as a way of discouraging future events from happening. Lots of fake news and click bait are ruining it for everyone. Algorithms the site uses often don’t make sense in how it displays information on your feed.
Personally deleting Facebook wouldn’t be so easy. As a social network organically Facebook is still a good platform for person to person contacts. A lot of people I know use it and its a good way to keep up with what is happening in their lives. I also have connections with others who are like minded who are sharing what is on their hearts and minds about the state of the world we live in.
Being mindful and using careful judgement would make Facebook a better place. Using tools available to customize your experience and what information you see would be a best practice. I also think keeping the dark details of ones personal life off the platform would be best. The less someone knows the better it can be for you.
Ultimately Facebook does need more checks and balances. It needs to be policed and to create a safe place for everyone. Regulation would be appropriate in order to get it under control. No doubt it needs radical change not only in what you see but those behind the scenes who run the company. The network can be saved but it probably needs to have some sort of digital “chemotherapy” to make it well again.
