This is a whole shit-ton of idiocy fed to me courtesy of Facebook the last couple of weeks.
I say idiocy because - well, while there is a lot to be admired there's a lot that's still not there.
It's not just limited to Facebook, I've noticed my "news feed" is starting to come up with AI generated articles that - from the headlines at least - make no sense whatsoever.
So I'll lead with those. Expect a humorous and scathing review of each beneath.
Beginning with Facebook's carefully censored ads:
Now, they got the audience right, who doesn't want a big pile of counterfeit cash?
And I can't see anything going wrong there.
Now, the "Read More" is there to protect you from a lot of CGI girls that Facebook thinks I want to follow, a few bogus "news" articles, and the "Cabin Crew" lot, which whenever I think I've seen it all finds ways to surprise me...

This has been stuck in my head for a couple of weeks....It started, a reddit thread about a song that's used in every movie about Vietnam. For good reason, it's of the era and it plainly states the politics of war. And the beat kicks to the rhythm of the chopper blades....
So I looked it up, gave it a relisten, it lead into some good playlists. Fine. And then the daughter sends me a video of her going upriver on a boat in Laos, and the song came back....
Damn, I don't usually like to listen to 'oldies', but there's no getting it out of my head now. No less because "Apocalypse Now" was a great anti-war movie....

The small-town idyll, at New York/Tokyo/London pricing. Actually, that'd be an expensive flat anywhere in the world.
Anyways, this is where we're at at the moment...
