  • I asked Google why search engines are so bad now and its AI summaries its own deficiencies quite well:

    Some say search engines have declined in quality due to a number of factors, including:

    Search engine optimization (SEO) spam A wave of SEO spam has contributed to the decline in search result quality.

    Affiliate marketing Affiliate link sites contribute to the low-quality content that floods the internet.

    AI-generated content New technology can quickly produce low-quality content.

    Marketing Search results are filled with marketing and links that may not be relevant to the query.

    Recommender algorithms Some say the algorithm that recommends content is a mess. For example, someone might be recommended alt-right content after watching a click-bait video.

    Ads Google’s biggest business is advertising, and it’s inserting more ads into its products to make more money.

    Some say it’s harder to find specific information these days, and that search operators are often needed to filter search results.


  • I got a Mac and cheese recipe I made that’ll knock your socks off. I call it “honey Sriracha beer cheese with macaroni.” I use 5-year aged cheddar and parmesan reggiano to make it.

    It won’t so much knock your socks off as it’ll instead seat you comfortably, gently remove your shoes, delicately peel off your socks, and then put your shoes back on your feet for some reason.






  • That’s one of my favorite episodes. I felt so understood. I started taking pictures of animals’ butts when I mistimed a pic of a hippo swimming by. I was so amused that it was unlike any other photo you’d normally see of a hippo, but you knew it was a hippo. So I expanded to other animals.

    After one trip, I mentioned to my family that I got photos of over 14 animals’ butts and my sister said “great, you can make a calendar now.” And so it all began.
