I love it, especially the last sentence! I was removed from fakebook, twitter and now x.

If FB can read my mind, then they have multiple thoughts of mine.

Sometimes the first song that comes to my mind isn't the right one. Oh well, it's got a nice melody even if the lyrics are a downer.

Here's a random thought... I left Fakebook years ago, and never looked back. Bye!

FB still has the numbers. The animal rescue that none of the other platforms have. The artists that you won't find on other platforms (You've probably noticed I'm encouraging three in particular to come to Substack). The old friends and family who are content to live in the matrix and aren't in a place to get on the much-more-serious alternative platforms. The enjoyable Pages where cats and dogs have their own FB Page where "they" share their thoughts, their humor, their lives and stories.

I often comment that while I still Post the mild stuff on FB, I Post the good stuff on Substack.

I used Fakebook to promote my music, and our production company. They banned one of my songs because it was patriotic, and made references to the American revolution. Then the trolls came out of the woodwork from everywhere, and started getting anything even remotely political that I said banned from my personal page. Then came the "fact checkers" . After the third time I wound up in Fakebook jail, I told them to F-off. I am glad that you've found a use for it, and hope it does good in the world.
