[Ads-l] New sense of "story"

[dave@wilton.net]

I mostly have pictures of our beasts (two dogs, two cats) on my phone, so these have the potential for being enjoyable if it were not for the cheesy elevator music.
 
But inevitably in the midst of the series of cute animal pictures is a picture of a toiletry product or household cleaner that I took so that I got the correct brand when at the store or a label from a piece of electronics that I took while consulting tech support.

I detest those things. Not just for the "new memory" word salad, but
because it's always either making me sad by showing me someone who died, or
making me irritated by showing a particular ex I'd rather never see a pic
of again. I had to spend hours going through Google Photos to expunge
photos of the latter entirely, to stop being algo-spammed with pictures of
her every week. I'm tempted to just spend a day recovering all the pics I
do want to keep from GP, then deleting everything off their server. But
I'll have to undertake a similar sweep to stop Facebook from doing
essentially the same thing.
