Is anyone else having trouble getting on FB tonight?

It's been ok for me.

Crap.  My computer's been cracked-out lately.

Tinka Cat, you're getting crushed on @ Facebook.

"WOOF!"   

I think I missed this?  Or whatever it is is now gone?

It had to do with this picture:

Go to DW's page and click on where it says, "DW posted a link to JF's timeline."

Little Steven's Underground Garage posts show up in my newsfeed; over the weekend he posted the YT clip of Bruce's "We take Care of Our Own". some IDIOT commented

"springsteen is tree huging lib. i wouldnt go to one of his concerts if it was free."

for which he was roundly thrashed. But what is someone that right-wing (and Bruce-hating) doing listening to/"liking" Steven to begin with?  (Note the misspelling of "huging", which could be a typo but if you go to the guy's FB page he says he works for "CBS Transpertation".)

So Mike posts that 3/14 is pi day, and Geoff comments that it is also Einstein's birthday.  I instantly start to post "Hey, tomorrow is my brother's birthday too.  But he's no Einstein, that's for sure."

Then I thought better of it.  Thankfully.   

I can post it here; none of you know him, and he's not a member.

Wish him a happy birthday from us!

I am so unfortunately "blonde" sometimes. Need your advice.
I was facebooking (new word?) on my phone today and while on AL's page or in a post between her and Greg Gory, I accidently touched the screen and it sent a friend request to Greg Gory He accepted. I do not need to be friends with him. Should I leave it as is or unfriend him? I don't even listen to KFOG in the morning. It was truly accidental.

You could always filter his posts so that he won't lose you as a friend, but you won't be infiltrated with his material. Or you could just unfriend him, he is an adult.

My wife 'accidentally' added her aunt as a friend for me. I don't have much use for the aunt's posts, but it would seem a tad indecent to just drop her. Fortunately, she doesn't post too often.

Just unfriend him. If you don't know him, he very likely doesn't know you. Facebook does not send a message telling people they've been unfriended. So he'd have to remember your name and figure out that you were no longer among his friends. Probably not going to happen, particularly if he like a lot of media personalities has something like 3500 friends. So harbor no guilt, and unfriend away.

It's kind of curious how these major news stories have come out about all the addresses getting changed to @facebook.com, but mine hasn't.  I can't be the only one.  No fact-checking anymore?  Just run with whatever rumor is being posted on facebook?
