Apparently some FB users are discovering they're now following new Trump, Vance, GOP, etc., FB pages

At least according to some posters in this interesting thread on the Reddit Mildly Infuriating sub.

I deleted my own FB account this morning, but after reading this I canceled the deletion out of curiosity to see if this happens to me!

Monster - Steppenwolf

I bought the single when I was a senior in high school... 55 years ago. Over time this song just gets more relevant.

Leslie Charleson, Longest-Tenured General Hospital Cast Member, Dies at 79 :(

The actress played Monica Quartermaine on the series from 1977 until her death

Leslie Charleson has died at the age of 79.

The actress was best known as Monica Quartermaine on the soap opera General Hospital, a role she began playing in 1977, making her the cast member who was on the show the longest. She was a four-time Daytime Emmy nominee.

General Hospital's executive producer Frank Valentini announced Charleson's death on the show's official Instagram page on Sunday, Jan. 12. "It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Leslie Charleson," he began.

"Her enduring legacy has spanned nearly 50 years on General Hospital alone and, just as Monica was the heart of the Quartermaines, Leslie was a beloved matriarch of the entire cast and crew," he continued. "I will miss our daily chats, her quick wit and incredible presence on set."

She has many other credits... but I'll always remember her for a soap called Love Is A Many Splendored Thing, that I watched in the late '60's, and General Hospital (although I stopped watching that years ago).

A long time ago, I knew someone who had close contact with Betty and Barney Hill.

I will just say this person was a high ranking military officer at the time. This person came to believe that what they said happened to them, happened to them.

SouLight Hypnotherapy & Tarot latest YT video....

I've been watching her for a long time and I give her readings more credence than just about anyone else's. Which isn't hard to do now, but still. She seldom posts on YT anymore, but she just posted an interesting video I wanted to share.

Remember Paul Revere & the Raiders?

I've been a fan of theirs since 1965 and listen to their music to this day. I follow their former lead singer Mark Lindsay (a fellow Democrat and cat lover) on Twitter and Instagram.

Mark Lindsay just posted this, and I wanted to share it:

Elon Musk’s PAC thought it would be cute to call the female Presidential candidate a “C-Word”. This is my last post on X. I won’t support misogyny. Find me at http://marklindsay.com or on FB.

Vaughn Hillyard just let Trump/Musk HAVE it on Nicolle Wallace's show

They were discussing how those two vile ghouls are spreading such damaging disinfo about the hurricane.

I've NEVER heard Hillyard go off like that.

I know there's been discussion recently about him being possibly pro-Trump, but he sure didn't sound like it today!

No video since it just aired.
