Stay focused, Joe. Ignore that blabbering noise "over there".

In light of tell-tale troubling behaviors, like daily inundating social media news feeds, I find myself wondering if social media websites will develop policy concerning people who inundate news feeds on a daily, nightly basis.

Take for example, T---p: every day he inundates the Twitter website.

I feel certain that there are lots of people who are sick of seeing news feeds imploded daily.

MY, MY!

" The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on."

Oh Jeffrey, you bad boy. I think your " goose" is cooked.

I'm so upset. I received my voter's pamphlet but never received my ballot. Fortunately I happened to noticed a pamphlet at my oldest son's house and asked him in light of the pandemic when he thought we'd be getting our ballots. He told me they'd already received theirs, both of my sons and their wives. If that was the case then mine should have been here by now, was in fact long over due. Turns out even though I'd updated my address, which is why I got the voter's pamphlet, my ballot was returned because they sent it to my old address where it was promptly returned as undeliverable . Yep my fault because I failed to update my address. Okay so why didn't you send my voter's pamphlet to the wrong address then, because I didn't give you the new address as evidenced by the fact that you have it?

I'm so glad I caught this mistake. I don't know who is responsible for mailing out the ballots, addresses these things, but the post office can only send mail to the address they're given and if you gave them the wrong one then how can you possibly be blaming me or the post office. Fortunately I discovered it while I still have time to vote but if this could happen to me, how many other people has this or similar happened to? Oh and then what did I get in the mail this week? Someone else's voter registration card. I can see how, though not right, it would be understandable if someone who'd lived here prior had moved and failed to update their address but I'm the only person who has ever lived at this address. These apartments were still being built when I moved in.

Then of course there's the matter of if this crud could happen to me who else has it happened to. I don't have any reason to believe anyone intentionally meant to do this, it was obviously just some sort oversight seeing how quick to respond and correct it they were but if something like this can so easily happen when people are trying to get it right and have just made an honest mistake what about people with true evil intent, malice in their heart? I mean right now someone could be sitting there filling out my ballot. I suppose the signature wouldn't match. I wonder how they check a thing like that or if they even bother to compare signatures at all. People have already been busted for tampering with ballots. What a mess. I'm going to be so glad when this election is over.

Twitter has rolled out some stuff. The other day i retweeted a press release for my own organization and twitter asked me if i was sure i didn't want to read the article before sharing. The dialog said they were trying to improve the quality of information being spread. They are also annotating the trending topics with "context" and not allowing trends for which no useful context can be provided.

President Donald Trump flirted with the possibility of an authoritarian power grab yet again Saturday, suggesting to supporters at a campaign rally that he may not commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the presidential election.

Trump has deflected the question before when asked by reporters, saying, “We’ll see what happens.” But he has not made the case for defying a transfer of power directly to supporters before. Vice President Mike Pence has joined the president in refusing to answer the question, dodging it at the vice presidential debate last week.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, who assisted with the transition to Trump from the Obama administration, reacted with apparent exasperation last month when Trump first refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses: “What country are we in? Look, he says the most irrational things. I don’t know what to say.”

Sidebar: This is only my opinion but I think Trumps just likes to toss this out in order to work up folks into a frenzy!
You can tell it works too especially with Rachael Maddow!
