Fuck Instagram

I fear the days on my last remaining social media website are numbered. I’m done with this bullshit.

First they tweaked their API so you can no longer use third-party apps to access their content. (GRIDS allowed me to filter out ads completely.) While I can still get online with them using GRIDS, I get knocked off randomly and I’m forced to log in again via a pop-up Instagram window. Once I’m logged in, I automatically get logged out of the native app on my phone, forcing me to log in there again. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam.

And now this bullshit. Apparently leaving less-than-flattering comments on their imported Chinese crap ads isn’t allowed… (That isn’t being racist; 90% of what is being advertised on the platform ships from mainland China.)

4th Grade. Phys Ed teacher Mr. Davis. Ex-marine. Dark hair, ‘stache, perpetual three-day scruff. Hair peeking out of the neck of his too-tight t-shirts and perky nipples that were always at attention. Hairy legs and an ass just like that picture. I didn’t have a name for it back then, but I knew what I wanted.

Wow. Just Wow!

The other half of my recent vintage stereo purchase arrived today, and all I can say is, “Wow!”

I haven’t done any cleanup on it yet because it was only delivered this morning and I rushed home at lunch to hook it up, but it—like the amplifier—is about as close to mint as you’re going to find for a 45 year old piece of gear. Unlike the amp however, it was packed properly to ensure it made it across country in perfect condition. Why the seller packed one (the heavier one!) like crap and the other so perfectly is a mystery I may never unravel.

In my brief listening session at lunch, I can attest to everything good I’ve read about the T-1, and since—with retirement looming—this is in all likelihood going to be my last stereo purchase, I’m more convinced than ever I made the right choice with these pieces.

Just Askin’

Oh, you already know the answer to that. If Democrats had committed J6 Insurrection and Republicans were in charge, they’d already be swingin’ from gallows.
