Well, I sat down at a computer which I haven't used in a long time. More than a year? I'm really not sure when I last logged into Facebook with it. For some reason, I thought I'd click on Facebook. Firefox has my saved password, I should just click and be in. Ooops - I'm not in. It wants me to enter a password, or click the "forgot password" thingy. Well - actually, I didn't want on Facebook very badly. It's far to much trouble to go to my own computer, and retrieve the password. I remember now that I changed the password about a year ago, give or take a little.

NOTE: I did NOT click the button to ask for a new password or anything. I loaded the login page, entered an invalid password, and was redirected back to the login page. End of story - the page was then closed.

So, a few days later - not minutes later, or hours later, but DAYS later - I check my email, and Facefook is offering to log me in. Hmmmm? Fact is, I've logged in, from this computer, since then. I wanted to check up on a group of veterans, and checked their Facebook page.

Guy, get back on Facebook with one click

Hi Guy,

It looks like you're having trouble logging into Facebook. Just click the button below and we'll log you in.

If you weren't trying to log in, let us know.
 

Now, I might understand this email, had I received it within a few minutes of the failed login. The system noticed that someone failed a login, and automatically generated an email - that seems like it might be a "feature". But, this email is days, almost a week, after the fact. WTF? Doesn't look like an automagic script thing to me. Worse, as I say, I DID log in, and check the page that I was interested in, then logged out. That probably should have turned off any automagic actions that the system was working on.

The email APPEARS TO BE from Facefook, but I'm sure as hell not clicking the link provided.

So, who thinks that I'm being phished, and who thinks that Facefook (or someone at Facefook) has chosen to give me some personal attentio? Shit looks weird to me!

Oh, before anyone asks, I'll decline to provide the actual email with identifying information. True, those identifiers are false, but I'd rather not associate them with this, or other accounts using this username, etc.

So, I went and saw Episode VIII today at noon. I figured, screw opening night; I'll catch it Saturday in the daytime so I don't have to stand in line, fight for elbow room, or listen to a bunch of shitheads talk through it.

tl;dr: I wish I'd just given up on the franchise.

I'm not going to bore you with a lot of detailed analysis because that's not how you watch a movie for enjoyment. I'm just going to tell you it wasn't good and boil the "why" down to the most crucial bit: the dialogue.

If you ripped out the voice track from the movie, rewrote it, and re-recorded it, VIII could have been about as good as VI. As it stands, the dialogue was worse than I or II. Yes, even considering Jar-Jar. After mostly enjoying VII and the much better Rogue One, this was to me the biggest let-down in franchise history.

Isn't it fantastic that lightweight Senator Bob Corker, who helped President Obama give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in the Great State of Tennessee, is now on board with Tax Cuts! And so is Little Marco Rubio. So happy to hear that! It's FULL STEAM AHEAD for Tax Cuts & Jobs. Give me goddamned steam! Flaky Flake, get on. Chuck & Nancy, if you're reading this -- I think you're reading this -- I saved your seats. Don't let the Trump Train leave Tax Cut Junction without you......Goofy Elizabeth Warren, you too, let's see Pocahontas make peace with Big White Man Chief......bing bing, bong bong, bing bing bing.......You Dems have donors too. 🚂

The sausage is made. You may now officially commence the bitching that you prepared long before you knew what was in the bill.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rebecca Johnson, brave widow of Dan Johnson, a true patriot & friend of Kentucky. Another victim of the purposely false and defamatory stories FABRICATED & put out by the Fake News Media. They are out of control - correct reporting means nothing to them. Major lies written, then forced to be withdrawn after they are exposed...a stain on America! They should be ashamed. "His fight will go on." We are with you! fxn.ws/2AmL7yI

Thank you, Omarosa, for your service. To The Apprentice, Celebrity Apprentice, Donald J. Trump Presents the Ultimate Merger, and least of all, the White House. Good luck, and maybe, probably, we will make great television together again. #TrumpTV

My tweet about Judge Roy Moore and the Alabama Senate race reached the maximum Score, 5 points. Very popular tweet! Not down-modded yet, very surprising. So I looked in the Hot Comments, my tweet's not there. I waited, it's not there yet. But tizan's tweet from before mine, also about Alabama, is there. Arik's tweet from later, about the livers, is there. DeathMonkey's, Thexalon's and stretch611's tweets from MUCH earlier are there. 3 tweets about the race in Alabama, nothing from realDonaldTrump. Why are their tweets trending but mine aren't? And I looked many, many times before. When I made MAGNIFICENT tweets, very popular, they didn't get to the Hot Comments. Maybe because I don't tweet out politically correct bullshit that advances the Dem agenda. When I see that the Establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country, I say so. And Twitter hates it. They're NOTHING without me, but sometimes they try to stop me from getting my message out. And maybe, probably, someone running SoylentNews doesn't want folks to see my messages trending. So they blocked me from the Hot Comments. Sad!

#Hanukkah is a time for Jewish families around the world to come together around the lighting of the menorah 🕎 and celebrate the miracles of the past and promises of the future. Melania and I wish all of our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrating this meaningful holiday a happy and healthy eight nights in the company of those they love.

The miracle of Hanukkah began more than 2,000 years ago, when the practice of Judaism was made punishable by death. A small band of Jewish patriots rose up and reclaimed their Jewish identity by vanquishing a mighty army. In their pursuit to rededicate their holy temple, 🕍 the Jewish heroes found only enough oil to light the temple’s menorah for one night. They had big problems because they didn't back their oil industry. However, a miracle occurred and with God’s grace the oil lasted for eight days. 🛢

Folks, America's incredible energy potential remains untapped. It's a wound that is totally self-inflected. And we can't count on a miracle. Under my presidency, we will accomplish complete American energy independence. We will become totally independent of the need to import energy from the oil cartel 🛢 or any nation hostile to our interest. We will get the bureaucracy out of the way of innovation, so we can pursue ALL forms of energy. All forms.

On this holiday, we are proud to stand with the Jewish people who shine as a light to all nations. We also stand with the people of Israel, the Jewish State, 🇮🇱 which has itself a miraculous history of overcoming the tallest of odds. We hope that those observing the holiday here, in Israel, and around the world have a wonderful holiday. pic.twitter.com/D9MVVPq39x

I've said we’re going to win. We’re going to win so much. We’re going to win at trade, we’re going to win at the border. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go "Please, please, we can’t win any more." You’ve heard this one, right? You’ll say "Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win any more. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else." And I’m going to say "I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again." But we need your votes, folks. Everybody in Alabama, today is a very big day. A VERY SPECIAL election day. We cannot afford, this country, the future of this country, cannot afford to lose a seat in the very, very close United States Senate. We can’t afford it, folks. If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped cold. We already know Democrat Doug Jones is a puppet of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and he will vote with the Washington liberals every single time. We can't afford to lose that seat.

And did you see what happened with the yearbook? Did you see that? There was a little mistake made. She started writing things in the yearbook. Gloria Allred, any time you see her you know something’s going wrong.

I need Alabama to vote for Roy Moore! He's a winner, he can't win alone. Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass the Make America Great Again agenda. Get out and VOTE FOR ROY MOORE! 🗳
