True story:
My friend volunteered for a water quality committee. Responding I typed, 'I admire that' ; quickly Messenger offered a replacement emoji, showing a suitor with hearts encircling his head.

WRONG!! Ugh!!

I'll interpret --
a Messenger wizard decided "the set" of cute emoji includes hearts of all kinds.

When I notice auto-response codifying cuteness, I get triggered. Youth does not need auto-cuteness.
Someday ... when media literacy has attained a threshold, a court will declare such engaging automation Addictive.

@maxleibman@beige.party Yay!! The more we toot about boycotting, the healthier it is for HOMEGROWN DISCOURSE. Main stream media systematically distorts (ie omits) communication about boycotts.

The #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #Waiting ... I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees Asked the Lord above, have mercy now, save poor Bob if you please 1936, at a motel San Antonio TX, Robert Johnson channeled the lyrics. Echoing Johnson's inspiration are so many renditions. Album 'Wheels of Fire, Crossroads' still thrills me.
