On Facebook, perpetually trying to engage me with groups it thinks I'd like.
Like "Owl Lovers".
Captioned "Great Photograph", which it would be, if there were some subspecies of 6 legged owl in the Sahara Desert.
Pretty sure there isn't.
But you see this more and more, "Dream Homes" - which don't exist, or "Archeological Mysteries" that aren't, and AI is proving a remarkable tool at generating photo-realistic documentation of non-events. And who has time to fact-check everything?
This is where we're heading, where the past, present, and future are all one big confabulation, impossible given the bots writing the content, the increasing gullibility of people that are too busy and distracted to care, the inability to process and sort the increasingly huge volumes of information, of which only a diminishing fraction is true...

An array of South Asian Superstars in Jee-Woon Kim's homage to "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly".
Actually, ridiculously amusing, and the lead character - Song Kang-Ho - is recognizable from "The Parasite" & "Memories of Murder".
The plot: Bandits, a Bounty Hunter, Chinese Gangs & the Japanese Army all vie for a treasure map.
Available to stream for free on Tubi TV. No great meaning, just a good old-fashioned Saturday Matinee, like back in the day of Star Wars or Indiana Jones, before Disney got hold of them...
