But consider what could happen in a year or two when search engines get smarter. I click the Search button on my keyboard, or tell a search engine, 'I want to buy a pair of shoes.' It supposedly heads out on to the Web to find shoe stores, but in fact brings me only to those shoe stores that have deals with that search engine or hardware company. The same with booksellers. Insurers. News. And so on.

@Migueldeicaza#altText4you comic showing a crying, kneeling, Palestinian mother holding her lifeless child in her hands, blood splattered on the ground in front of her, a man next to her, filming her with a TV-camera, wearing a blue "PRESS"-vest and blue helmet, and two bombs falling down on them, hers labeled "NO MERCY", his "NO WITNESS"; both adorned with an Israeli flag

"A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

"And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, a completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people you can do whatever you want."

A black and white close-up photo of a white woman with medium length dark hair, parted in the middle. Under that, in white-on-black text, it says:

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

@rbreich#altText4you a line of five smiling caricatures of:
Mr. Rogers, with his King puppet;
Bob Ross, holding a palette and a brush with green paint, next to a painting of a smiling tree;
Jim Hanson "hand"ling Kermit the Frog;
Rosco Roman holding a green nametag that says "Gordon" (from Sesame Street) in white letters;
and Bill Nye the science guy holding a viol and a boiling flask in his hands.
Text above and below reads: "THANK YOU PBS", "FOR GIVING US HEROES"
It is signed Joe Wos.

(thank you @vfrmedia, @MartyFouts, @moani, @stellarsarah, and @chantaryu2 for piecing this together)

Post from Acyn --
Reporter: Your reaction to Cuomo staying in the NYC mayoral race?

Trump: I think he should say. I think he has a shot. He’s running against a communist.

@GeriAQuin Here’s some #AltText4You

Finland Didn’t End Homelessness With Magic

They Just Didn’t Treat It Like a Business Plan.

You can still run a café. Start a band. Sell socks online. Capitalism still works in Finland.

But they decided that housing people didn’t need to turn a profit.

Because sometimes, the moral thing is the practical thing. And no one thrives when their neighbour is sleeping in a tent by the river.

You can’t KPI your way out of a crisis. Sometimes, you just have to give a damn.
