Got a new phone. I don't know if this counts against my remaining 7.
But. Folks. It has a "Screenshots" app that automatically catalogs my screenshot by app, automatically gives me plain text from the screenshot, and makes that text searchable.
Having the receipts got so much easier.

Name-calling is the easiest one for this group to slip up on. That's a ban.
For a real life example from the group, "Julie has been banned for calling someone a pinecone."
I always say, "You're being racist," and never, "You're a racist."

The key to success in arguing with right-wingers on the suburban Facebook group is:
A: Follow the rules.
B: Block everyone who likes their post. Stops those folks from seeing the conversation and liking their replies or backing them up.
C: Get them mad enough to break the rules.
D: Get a soda.

Everyone forgets this one simple truth.

You would not want to be around Shrek.

Things little tense with the people who live in Florida posting their opinions on ICE in our Minnesota group.
I hope they like spelunking. I made them a picture of themselves in a cave to defuse the situation, if they come back.

Just heard honking and whistles near 42nd and Bloomington. Church near there with a large Latino population and a Spanish language school. Along with everything else.

Another thing about Superman's group chat. He keeps sending us action pictures of himself with captions like "Another day keeping America safe."
But here's the thing. I think they're AI. Like, there's a picture of him in space punching a squid thing. Who's taking that picture?
