Reading Project Problems
I started a blog, softnews33, trying to read more full-length articles, and share the best, to try and break away from Facebook. It’s been hard, because I’m still hooked on Facebook.

Sometime around July 8 to 11, this article made the rounds. It is an article that just won’t vanish, and as it’s passed around, the claims about it get more extreme.

Selected Posts from Facebook from May 2020
I try to delete posts regularly, and archive some in posts to my own blogs. I know this is destroying the archival aspects of replies, and I guess that sucks, but… I feel like it must be done.
