The granddaughter got some great 'selfie' coverage.

We know it happens. sad
But I find the whole sentimental self-aggrandisement cloying, very FB/Twitter, very "me, me".

Perhaps they were at a trump rally. Sorry but I find it syrupy

Your comment about virtue signalling, pogs, and ffinn's about selfie coverage sum it up pretty well, I find! The other thing that's striking is how mad Twitter and Facebook can be if you are not careful—death threats for not turning up for dinner with grandpa!? completely OTT.
