I'm more of a lurker and a follower than a poster, but there are some people that have a lot of interesting stuff to say themselves but are also serial reposters, and the timeline sometimes has several of their reposts in a row which ends up in me unfollowing

Facebook for me is now a record of elements of my life up to about 2015 and a means to get rid of stuff on the local free page. And yet I still see school parents on there slagging each other off or complaining about petty bollocks in full public view.

All news reports that quote Trump should use the exact sentences he says and not the 'sanewashed' ones. Including the pauses and the tangents he wanders off on.
