Just used Google search for the first time in ages (how bad could it really be) and it said September 2025 hasn't happened yet. 馃憤

Google gets worse every day.

I guess that's what happens when a company takes investment from #PrinceBonesaw; everyone gets an unwanted state surveillance platform that burns through fossil fuel at prodigious rates.
