I don’t spend much time there, but meta is apparently going to flood facebook and instagram with bots. After years of punishing people who didn’t use their real names. The article I read, said there are at least 100,000 on there already.  

Did the article say why they were doing it?  My FB wall is already crammed to bursting with unsolicited memes, group posts etc to the point where I have to struggle to see anything from actual friends.   Of which, BTW, there are far fewer as more and more of them are cutting the FB cord.

I can’t remember, but one thing was they wanted to attract and keep younger people as users.

I only pay attention to my friends, and a few groups.  I have noticed a fresh group of posts in the woman’s march group, from people calling Hillary by  a name her haters use.  Their profiles displayed support for trump.

What do they do at an organist's convention?  I'm dying to know?  Do people take turns playing?  Do they discuss new hymns?  Do they get to play on gigantic special organs? 

LOL, I'm laughing because I really don't know. This will be my first time attending some of the events with him. I do know that some of the time is spent visiting church organs in the area of the convention and listening to mini-recitals. They also hold educational workshops in technique where people generally gather around an organ and a teacher demonstrates and instructs.

I don't intend to attend everything with him, though, and he understands that. I have an appreciation for organ music but I don't play so I'd be bored with the workshops. Normally he goes to these things himself without me. I did go to one with him way back in 2006 in Chicago, but I didn't attend anything. We were staying at a hotel downtown on Michigan Ave. so I was far from bored shopping by myself.
