Even though my Facebook news feed is full of Hurricane Sandy Frankenstorm updates today, there are still a ton of political updates that I’d love to remove, at least until Election Day is over. With all due respect to some of my more uh…passionate friends and family. And yeah, some of the crazy ones.
If you’re on Twitter, you’ll see “Politics blocked” with a link to see some animals. For your Facebook Timeline, you’ll get a blocked notice (which you can undo–should you want to see what your more reasonable friends are linking to), plus a photo of an adorable cat; which I have to say is much better than the dozens of LOL memes that are taking over my feed.
And that’s saying a lot for even someone like me who doesn’t really like cats. -Kristen
This is fantastic. And I wish I had this like a month ago, too, though it’s only escalating over the next two weeks.
Just a thought here…isn’t it amazing how countries around the world have been using Facebook, Twitter and the like to organize revolutions that have freed them from oppressive governments and set them on the path for democracy…yet in the US – we avoid discussing politics like a plague and replace it with prattle and silly pictures of animals?
so amazing! i really like this. and the cat picture is very cute!
