It turns out that after much effort to add a plugin to the blog facebook has now disabled the posting of a URL with a photo in the same post. The old facebook grabbed a photo from the site and embedded it. But the rules on making it rezsize correctly were WEIRD. The new facebook, by contrast, does not grab a photo at all. AND if you add one yourself it deletes the link to the other site. Screwing up the post. WHY EVEN TRY?

This is all part of the “we shall control your speech” policy. NO PHOTOS ALLOWED. NO VIDEOS ALLOWED. WE OWN EVERYTHING YOU DO.

This is why everybody I know has left facebook.
