Social Media Apps Could Be So Much Fun


Life could be so simple if Instagram and many other social media apps would clamp down on bots. Fake accounts promoting services and self promoting spam are ruining the experience. After posting three images the other morning, I spent 20 minutes deleting comments about self promoters from different countries who are not interested in Instagram.

I wish a more strict moderating method was implemented, but just like most sites on the internet, the site administrators are not interested in removing the riff-raff. They care more about clicks and numbers than keeping the site from the usual trolls. Social media apps could be so much fun. Now, not so much.

Aniversario De 40 Años - (1983 -2023)

Un dia como hoy, 27 de julio de 2023, se cumplen 40 años del dia que yo llegue a Estados Unidos desde Puerto Rico en busca de una mejor educacion.

Ha llovido mucho y han ocurrido muchas experiencias, buenas y malas. A pesar de todos los obstaculos, he logrado muchas metas y conocido tremendos seres humanos que me han ayudado a crecer como persona. 

Le doy gracias a Dios, a mi familia y amigos por todo su apoyo. Veremos a ver que me depara el destino en el futuro. 

La foto fue tomada en el 1983, en la sala de mi primer apartamento en Brooklyn, NY.

Barbie Takes Box Office Crown – Republicans Are Throwing Temper Tantrums Over A Silly Movie


Barbie earned $155 million at the box office during its opening weekend. Movie-goers made up of mostly women, dressed in all pink to celebrate the occasion.

In the meantime, conservatives are complaining about the “woke” and “trans” movie using their typical grievances about culture wars. This time they are taking the opportunity to lit Barbies and Ken on fire to protest, and throw tantrums over the movie. 

You have to wonder, why grown conservative men are so bent out of shape over a movie about toys? What a bunch of childish snowflakes.
