Social Media and the Glib Meme

Posted onSeptember 15, 2020September 15, 2020Leave a comment

My friends on Facebook might have noticed: I am on a mission to root out sharing of memes that are false, partly false, intentionally misleading, etc. I don’t care what it’s about.

When I left my first job, I went to work for an engineering company that was located in an old home in the downtown area of Logan, near where I lived.
