Social Media Penalizes Posts that have a LINK That Takes people away from TwitterX or Faceborg... Your words of wisdom will be seen by more people if you do not include a link...

Quite often I would post the headline and a link and if people wanted to read the article they would click on the link... 

Elon Musk wants you to stay on TwitterX so he can show you more advertisements... 

On Facebook, my posts are often marked as "spam" and they threatened to block me temporarily for having the audacity of posting a link to a website that is not owned by Zuckerberg!

Elon Musk says a lot of us are doing it wrong when it comes to posting links on X.

He says people should write a description in their main post, followed by the link in a reply.

Musk says this will stop "lazy linking." If you have any idea what that even means, please let me know!

For anyone who posts links on X, it's been intuitively clear that since Elon Musk took over, posts with links don't get the same reach as they used to.

and then, SE Said:

Another example of right-wingers trying to make everything political is when you try to have a rational discussion about finding a solution about the smash-and-grab robberies which have been happening all over California. Instead of having a rational discussion and trying to come up with solutions, right-wingers just want to blame the liberals. Everything must be the fault of the liberals, and never mind trying to come up with solutions, because the only solution the right-wingers will consider is getting rid of the liberal politicians. People on the left try to have actual conversations and come up with solutions WITHOUT making it political. I seriously doubt that the people committing the smash-and-grab crimes have any particular political leaning. They're just opportunists. I felt similarly about the way the right-wingers kept blaming the left when some of the BLM protests in 2020 ended up with rioting and looting. Instead of realizing that those people were opportunists, they kept saying that they were leftists. Not everything is political, right-wingers! It would really be a good thing if you'd quit trying to blame the left for everything and be willing to have rational discussions about some of the stuff that's happening in the world. Not everything is the fault of the left.

Autobiography-The Retirement Years: What I've Been Doing in the Last Five Years...Life is Wonderful. - I Just Read Another Obit about a Friend of Mine... Who Did Not Retire Before Dying... So Sad!

  I Inherited Money from my Father and I Instantly Quit My Job at The County of Humboldt... and Then... I went to The Rainbow Gathering in Utah with my friend Mike. I Met a Guru There (Sonya Sophia) and Participated in her Online Guided Meditations for a Year. (The Rainbow Gathering is a Backpack Trip for 10,000 Hippies) 

My Father's Estate bought a House in Eureka and we Moved to a Place where We Could Watch the Sunset into the Pacific Ocean over the Channel between the Jettys on Humboldt Bay. I Can Verify that the Sun Sets in a Different position into the water depending on the Seasons of the Year. We set up two computers side by side and looked out the window. Often, she would watch Netflix TV Shows (like Sons of Anarchy) and I would do Art and Write Words and post them on my blog. I often took long driving vacations... I drove to Seattle to eat LEGAL Marijuana Cookies, Ride the Monorail and Play Music at the Experience Music Pavilion at the Base of the Space Needle. (a tribute to Jimi Hendrix and Curt Cobain)

And then The State of Oregon Legalized Marijuana. That Winter I Smoked a Pound of Oregon Legal Weed and my Blog saw a Dramatic Increase of Visitors... I Guess it was that "Absurdist Fiction" I was writing... OR Maybe it was the Fact That I Wrote a Program that Tricked Google into Ranking my Blog Highly. That Happened Too... and then one Beautiful Spring Day I Decided to go on another Driving Vacation. I Quit Smoking Weed Entirely, Left it at Home and Headed Out. What I did not realize at the time was... I Remained Stoned for a Month due to the THC Stored inside my Body... and I Experienced Cannabis Psychosis... I Saw Things That Were Not There and Believed They Really Happened... As I Left Fortuna Heading for Chico, I Picked up two Hitchhikers who wanted to go to LA... and so... I ended up Visiting LA and the Deserts of Nevada... The Desert was Amazingly Beautiful! (Marijuana makes things seem better!) After Camping, Eventually I ended up in the Hospital in Chico to treat an Infected Blister on my Foot. I was worried about Amputation and so I checked myself into the Hospital... Then, Surprisingly, The Police came to my bedside and they took me to a Mental Hospital in Sacramento. I Don't Know Why. (Could it be Madness?) They believed I was 5150 and held me for 15 days, then Admitted Their Error and I was released to a Halfway house near Folsom. When I was in the Hospital they gave me Lithium... and that made me passive... but I quit taking that "Medicine" and recovered completely. [Lesson to be learned here... Question IF The Doctor is Giving You Good Advice... 400,00 Dead Oxycontin Users Did Not.]  I have been here ever since. They do all the stuff required by life for me. Buying Food, Cooking, Doing Laundry, Picking Up Prescriptions, Driving my to Doctors Appointments... I Now Have Free Time to Write, Record Music Videos and Do Computer Art and Publish My Ideas Online. For Example: I Emailed All 100 Senators and Recommended that they #ImpeachTrump and I Shared 20 of my best Ideas... I Used Fake Addresses and Phone Numbers so I Appeared to Be a Voter in Their State... 

I spend all day every day creating. I Wrote my autobiography. I Wrote an eBook "America's Bogus Wars (cut the Pentagon Budget in Half and Refund the Money To The Taxpayers)" and Posted 70 Music Videos. I have found that I Get More Stuff Done when Not Stoned... The Quality of Work is More Original When Stoned but the Quantity is Less. Except my Music Videos are Better NOT STONED. I had trouble with playing the piano in a smooth rhythm... I guess that my brain was having difficulty remembering which note to play next... even on songs that I wrote myself and have played for decades... Go Figure... anyway, at this Assisted Living Facility I don't drink booze or smoke tobacco or marijuana. I quit smoking tobacco because my brother got Lung Cancer and that scared me... He recovered, thanks to Modern Medicine THAT HE HELPED TO INVENT at his Job at Genentech. An actual case of "Doctor Heal Thyself." 

I joined a Singing Society at the Folsom Senior Center. 20 People and One Piano Player. We Do "Old Timey" songs like "A Bicycle Built for Two" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy." We also went ON TOUR to other Senior Centers for Christmas Carols... I also lead a Group sing Along for Christmas Here at my Home. (We Have Three Houses) I Own Bells... Handy for Singing "Jingle Bells." It is interesting to perform for REALLY OLD People. We Gave the Bells and They Truly Shook Them Randomly... but we all had a great time and after we had sung all the songs we knew, we sang them again... because... we are old people and we can do what we want!  

SO, what have you been doing recently?

anyway... I have a great Retirement and there is more to come. I got a iPhone and Can hire Uber to Drive me Places... But I don't have much Interest in Traveling! Go Figure! But I Do take a Long Walk Every Morning in the Neighborhood...

I have NOT Participated in any Protest Marches in 15 Years... Many People are Interested in BLACK LIVES MATTER and I Applaud Their Action... However... As an Old White Man... I'm NOT Motivated... I Didn't Participate in any Gay Rights PRIDE Parades Either... but I'm Glad they Can Get Married... I Remember that in 1969 Homosexuality was Illegal... and People were Fired from Government Jobs... The "Lavender Scare" - Stonewall Riots... SEE? WE ARE EVOLVING! Slowly, People are AWAKENING! Just WAKE THE F*CK UP!
