You probably won’t take time to actually watch the documentary I made, so here’s a news article:

At Defcon tomorrow, researchers will reveal a flaw in hundreds of millions of AMD chips they call "Sinkclose," which would let hackers root into some of the most privileged portions of a computer to install virtually undetectable, unfixable malware. wired.com/story/amd-chip-sin…
So cool of @BostonGlobe to just blatantly lie. We love harmful misinformation in our mainstream media.

Forgive me for beating a dead horse on this topic, but I still don't understand how or why this is a good searcher experience. And the problem seems to be getting worse.
One of many international sites absolutely surging in visibility on Google.com (U.S. results) is the website pharmeasy.in.
I am not calling out this site; good for them for achieving so much SEO visibility in a country where they do not ship products.
I am wondering why this is a good experience for Google searchers in the United States.
This site is ranking #1 for nearly 20,000 keywords in the U.S., according to @ahrefs. Almost all of these are extremely sensitive, YMYL, health-related keywords.
This is a pharmacy websites that only ships products within India, which is made abundantly clear throughout the website and its Terms & Conditions. They do not ship the to the U.S. Their pricing is listed in Rupees. They do not accept my U.S. zip code for shipping products. Their main navigation bar lists the name of Indian cities/regions in which to order medicine. Their hreflang attributes actually indicate that this content is written in English and meant for Indian users.

This 1914 Punch cartoon is the main image on the Wikipedia entry for puns. I'm stunned that the phrase "gay grass widower" is not, in fact, the center of the wordplay here.

If OpenAI doesn’t either reduce their $8.5bn operating costs to $1bn or less *and* raise at least $5bn in the next year, they will die. Even then, they will need to raise billions, every year, forever, until they find profit in an unprofitable technology.

OpenAI has a cash problem. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to train their models, and because they all train on the same data, they've become commoditized, creating a race to the bottom on pricing that will make things even less profitable.

My last video for Pride month, an essay where I dive into representation, why straight characters get “claimed” as queer, and what we can do for better queer media.
Please share and RT, need eyes on this one.

Happy pride! Have you heard about this 1936 trans film? Researcher Michael Waters just found this incredible reel of trans man and Czech runner Zdeněk Koubek (1913-1986). The athlete transitioned in 1935 and was widely celebrated in media. Full reel: youtu.be/lqoEVqr3lSs
Well I just got laid off again. So, if anyone has any writing work they need doing or has any leads on a job, my DMs are open.
