And it came from an Onion article from many, many years ago that was a bit on lobbyist capture. It was like America's geologists say you should eat one to two rocks per day or a small pebble or something. That got captured by a fracking blog. It was just aggregated.

The onion article was aggregated by a fracking blog, and that fracking blog got tossed into the AI feature at the top of Google's search results. That's a technological issue. And by the way, they owe us money for stealing our content, Google. Just letting you know that.

Yeah. Thank you very much. And also, like, you know, I would hope that I've always said this as a disinformation reporter, like jokes and absurdism. That's not disinformation. That's fucking being alive. If you're out there saying that Sandy Hook didn't happen and here are these families names. And by the way, they live in this town. That's a coordinated harassment campaign.

That's different than what we do fundamentally. And there are other websites, too, that that do satire that I find fundamentally unfunny. But like, fuck, they're allowed to do whatever they want to do. Like, that's not disinformation. That's a whole different thing.

Disinformation is it's a cottage industry of bullshit that is, by the way, only in existence because of the business model that we're moving away from.

I'm sure the onion would have been the climate in 2003. Yeah. would have been viewed as woke bullshit for being against the Iraq war. There's no question about that. And that to me is like some of the defining headlines of their time. 10 years ago, before woke bullshit was a sentence, you know, there's no way to prevent this as the only nation where this regularly happens.

Probably our most iconic headline of all time. You know, that would have been viewed as like woke bullshit by them too. The poison that is being pushed out by Elon Musk is his fault. And that's his thing they used to live with. But like, That's just not going to last. Being upset and impotent with rage and all that shit is a temporary feature of a failing political movement.
