Last week, I was contacted by The Thought Police.
I had just finished another one of my scathing (I think they're scathing, that's debatable) about President LumpyTits. It was innocuous, compared to others. Many others. And it didn't feature any cursing or pejoratives about the absolute schmucks who put this assclown back in office.
I've been on a tear recently. Mostly because this fool has tossed thousands of dollars of my investment profit right into his golden toilet. Newsflash Red Hats: he flushed down yours as well.
His second term behind the Resolute Desk is even more terrifying and destructive than his first. And my anger knows no bounds.
So much so that having posted my thoughts on FaceBook I was about to put it up on LinkedIn.
Here's where the algorithm came in. I suspect. I clicked on the New Post button and got this...
It's as if they were reading my mind. Which is readily accessible to any 3rd grader. Or a puerile 14 year old.
Nevertheless, it felt quite ominous. In the same way college students from foreign lands -- many of them brighter, smarter and endowed with a work ethic rarely demonstrated by our own homegrown Tik Tok addicted students -- were sent letters from DHS, asking them to self deport.
And similar to the way many law firms, who had past litigation with our new Dick Tator, have been bullied into silence. And complicity. Agreeing to perform legal responsibilities in service of our nakedly cretinous King.
However, as Ms. Muse pointed out to me, there is a silver lining here. As the 8 loyal readers of this blog know, I'm a LinkedIn recidivist. I don't have the fingers or toes to count up how many infractions I've logged. The last violation earned me PERMANENT PROHIBITED.
It took a Herculean effort to get back on. Including a FedExed hand written letter to the LI CEO.
I'm not looking for employment. Nor is anyone currently looking to hire a 67 year old freelance copywriter, especially one who is distinctively not Social First. Nor has any Perineum Inflammation Experience that would even get me a job doing Pharmaceutical Advertising.
In other words, I don't need LinkedIn, But I like having LinkedIn.
So I thought twice about the warning. And posted what I wanted to post on BlueSky.
Mmmm, friendly non-judgmental echo chamber.
