The accusations against the Democrats who reminded soldiers and sailors of their duty to disobey illegal orders are obviously silly.
Doesn't matter if they're silly. It, in fact, it's designed to break the target financially.

I keep considering "effective altruism." Specifically how naming it that is fucking annoying.
If you put those words together, that sounds fucking amazing. "Who wants ineffective altruism?" And I get that's "marketing."
I could probably write a whole book on an effective method of altruism.

The thing is that Google was so good and now that can't easily be recaptured by much of anything thanks to AI.
Maybe there is a way, but I ain't smart enough to figure it out.

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
