Artificial Intelligence is all the rage, but its pursuit—and that of profits—has created a problem. You don’t birth digital consciousness out of nothing.

by Ed Mosca
I’m sure that the response of New Hampshire’s free-marketeers to this post would be something along the lines of … Google is a private company and as such has an absolute right to bias its search results any way it wishes, … has an absolute right to employ as may ex-CIA as it wants … if you don’t like it, build your own Google, … blah, blah, blah.
NH’s Department of Selective Justice – Election Law Division
It’s been a good month for NH AG Formella. The week before Christmas, they reported a 700 million-dollar settlement with Google. Couch cushion money for Alphabet, but a decent haul for Jackpot Justice New Hampshire. Do we need a huge payoff to get the AG to chase everything?

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act reads: “Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races [colors, and national origins] contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial [color or national origin] discrimination.”
Google is Trying to Put the ‘Men’ In Menstruate.
The menses are blood and cellular debris from the uterus. Menstruation is the process of discharging that debris. You need one to have the other and a uterus for both. But according to Google, anyone can do it or have it (menstruation), which is silly, but that’s the world we live in now, right?

by Op-Ed
For our friends on the left, attitudes toward race have apparently come full circle.

Duckduck Go! Is Down-Ranking Sites They “Associate” with Disinformation
by Op-Ed
We should have known better. I should have known better. What was billed as the “secure” alternative to Google’s data-siphoning search engine has turned out to be no better at belaying the leftist barrage of downvoting unacceptable speech.
They Thought the Name “Gypsy” Was Offensive So they Changed It!
Some find the word gypsy offensive. It connotes a less than flattering stereotype of the Romani people. The Entomological Society of America took this to heart and decided to do their part to roll back the stigma by renaming an infamous critter.
So, You Thought Google Drive was a Safe Space for Your Files? Sucks to be you, maybe
by Skip
Remember, if the online service is free, you are the product. And, you’ll get taunted and have your files “stolen” from you if you use Google Drive. Not only is there Politically Correct Speech, now there are “Politically Correct Files”?

To Democrats Hoping for ‘Parler’ Show Trial – Parler Did it Right, Your FBI Screwed the Pooch.
The Left was giddy over the demise of Parler. When the media sold the Democrat narratives about Parler being complicit in the alleged insurrection, a few probably had happy-fits. But Parler is back to set the record straight. They referred dozens of ‘threats’ to the FBI before Jan 6, who then did nothing with them.

Notable Quote: Why are they afraid of us?
by Skip
Reformatted, emphasis mine: January 8, 2021. As a conservative political writer, which I’ve been for some time, Friday night had the weird feel of a surrealistic, conservative-thought-purging Kristallnacht. First and most surreal, Jack Dorsey’s Twitter permanently banning the account of the President of the United States. Not for some singular awful thing Donald Trump did, said, … Read more

by Skip
