The Ever Problematic Facebook, and Its Arrogant (and Totally Fucked-Up)Founder
My previous run-in with Facebook resulted in having my entire page, (photos, entries, “friends, etc) being wiped out. I lost relationships that meant a great deal to me. I had become “friends” with the novelist Cyra McFadden, and the artist Adit Pank. It turns out that it is not just that Zuck cares not one wit about you rights of free speech. It is something far worse.
After my first page, under my actual name (Alan Pedersen) was destroyed by Facebook zealots, I reestablished under a pseudonym that I have used for decades … Rudy Oglethorpe. Now, even that is under attack. My latest offense? I will tell you. There has been a great deal of rain in our region. There was to be staged an Iron Man contest. It began to rain … a great deal of rain. Someone said that they could not compete in the “Iron Man Contest” because of the rain. I am not an aficionado of Iron Man. It is my understanding that it began with a swim from Alcatraz to the shores of The City, then continue with running a substantial distance, then bicycling another substantial distance (or maybe biking first, then running). So, given the grueling nature of the course, why is torrential rain a problem? Doesn’t that take bigger chomes to cross the finish line first? When this guy said that the Iron Man Contest was canceled because of rain, I called him a pussy. Facebook had a shit-fit. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg cringes at the sound of the word “pussy”. Not only is Mark Zuckerberg repulsed at the sound of the word, “pussy”, he seems to have a serious fear of the sight of a woman’s nipple. The first “trouble that I got in on my second Facebook iteration was when I posted an image of a woman with her full nipple exposed. “Zeus! Prevent me from seeing this abomination!!!”, Mark Zuckerberg. What a pussy!!
The most recent entry that Facebook has tried to prevent is this, referring to China: “Once it has been seated both in the General Assembly and in the Security Council, it will surely transform the United Nations into a Maoist front and a battlefield for international subversion,” said the Republic of China’s foreign minister, Chow Shu-Kai, in New York following a crushing vote of the U.N.’s General Assembly to hand the organization’s “China” seat to the Communist-ruled People’s Republic of China (PRC), replacing Chow’s government.
We need to get together again soon. I’ve got more stuff for the food bank. Hope all is well at your house & that you didn’t get flooded.
You’re a rabble rouser, you are, and the powers that be always take exception to that. But I enjoy your different slant on things — hopefully you won’t be booted from OD, Rudy.
