AI chatbots are making local pages unusable. This is inaccurate junk. If you admin a local page, turn this shit off -- it's embarrassing

Jesus that’s dire… every time I think Facebook can’t get worse it bottoms out even more. The full question in the post I shared was asking the name of the ship in Moby-Dick. It’s not even a proper nostalgia post. The Pequod wasn’t a real ship. If it was, nobody alive today could be nostalgic for it

Flanagan forgives stabber who nearly killed him, but suspect 'cannot be on the streets' Fall River nearly lost a friend when Will Flanagan was brutally stabbed. The former mayor is taking time to heal from the vicious attack.

The brutal, random attack on William A. Flanagan almost left him dead -- and has shocked a city where he's been embraced as a colorful local personality. I talked to him while he's recuperating about how his faith in God is helping him endure the trauma: www.heraldnews.com/story/news/c...
