I’m on record as saying I *despise* time travel; nothing good ever comes of it. But I’m making _one_ exception. NoBait is a browser extension that receives the “news of the week” via tachyon backscatter from next week, and filters out any of today’s news articles that turned out in hindsight to be nothingburgers. You can read the news without feeling like it’s some kind of guess-the-lie quiz show. All those “is there going to be a challenge for the Literal Nazi Parry leadership” and “does TFG have HyperAnthrax” clickbait articles just _go_away_. Except this one I’m looking at now. It’s a *doozy*, you’re gonna love it!

It's said that the spreadsheet—VisiCalc this was before Excel Ate Paris—created the "greed is good" 1980s, by enabling the planning of unprecedented financial shenanigans.

Some say AI was responsible in a similar way for what happened in the 'thirties. The 2030s, that is, though the resemblance to the 1930s is uncanny.
