It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

In Canada, an anti-choice disinformation campaign is targeting later abortions. Undercover videos at 4 clinics show staff handling an anti-choice fake patient with compassion and support. Abortion is healthcare, Canada has no laws or gestational limits, and patients' needs are respected.

The Ukraine ‘peace plan’ distracts from the real issue: why Russia’s desperate to keep fighting
Say what you will about President Trump’s methods, but his wish to end Russia’s war is genuine. The problem is Moscow doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants Ukraine in pieces. A panicking Vladimir…

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

I am pretty sure we did not have this stuff where I am. But I do have a ViewMaster.
Been thinking about this overnight and I have come to the horrible realisation that I do in fact very much want a lavish in depth book detailing every single ridiculous Dungeons & Dragons toy, colouring book, back of cereal packet hologram, view finder etc
God help me.
God help me.
