An utterly scurrilous rumor made the rounds on social media recently before being thoroughly and easily debunked. Rest assured that no current candidate for President or Vice-President has ever described their personal experience of having sex (of sorts) with a couch in a memoir.
Never happened, should have been immediately obvious as a falsehood intended to tarnish an individual's reputation and was dispelled via the kind of text search that modern technology makes quick and simple. But the lie was all the way around the world before the truth had even put its glasses on, and there we have politics in 2024, a game that any amateur with a knack for it can play.
Another example of why I don't feel I'm missing anything by not having social media accounts.
ReplyDeleteI get just enough of a feel for those apps from places like this to reinforce that feeling regularly.
Thank you for reading that...stuff, so I don't have to.
